I completely understand. Have been through this. Ppl assume our sizes and shapes just by one look which absolutely makes us uncomfortable. And yes, shopkeepers should be educated on these matters.

hey Anonymous. one needs to be physically fit, not to please anyone but for urself. Being overweight should not be the reason for your insecurities . You need to accept yourself first only then others will accept you if you feel you are loosing urself trying to fit in... ask yourself what is it that you are doing that's creating discomfort within you ... identify and work on it.. good luck 👍

Hello there. I am Deepti Acharya, a counseling psychologist and relationship coach. Thanks a lot for reaching out. I understand your concern. I know how important cultural belongingness is for you. First and foremost, try to find ways to connect with your culture individually and finding a strong bond with it which is not highly influenced by societal expectations. This could include reading about and exploring your culture better. Secondly, it is vital to start setting boundaries and finding distinctions between your beliefs and social norms. Thirdly, try to find ways of interacting with and participating in communities that share your cultural beliefs. Having said that, I would like to understand where you are coming from better. To do that please tune into my upcoming live sessions on similar topics, where you can call me for more solutions. Hope this was helpful. Looking forward to connecting with you. All the best!

Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. It's important for you to feel comfortable in your identity. Then find like minded community and friends like joining a club to share a hobby or meeting new people. There would be people who would understand, even if they don't, do not burden to fit in or trying to make people like you. Ignorance can't be helped. You find a space for you to express yourself. Hope that helps.

Hey Hi dear! Before I advice you something...tell me something,Are you consciously landed up in this relationship?. 2. Is it just a healthy friendship or more than a friendship? if I can get answer to the above questions,I would be able to advise you better.

Popular opinion

this happened to me recently, and it stung a lot. I made a decision about my career that goes against some traditional expectations in my community, and let's just say some aunties were not happy! It's tough to feel judged by your own people. How do you all deal with criticism from your cultural background, especially when it dotyczy [dotyczy - Polish means 'concerns' or 'relates to'] your lifestyle choices?

Hi there, firstly, I'm proud of you to make those tough decisions and as a clinical psychologist. I would love to help you out with your question. I understand how judgment from people we love and surround us can impact our mental health the Sting indeed hurts because of the emotional weight they carry. Practicing self-compassion is key- you made a choice that aligns with your values and your aspirations, even if there are different from the society's. Another thing that can help is finding individuals with a similar mindset. Having an open dialogue with family members can help but it is essential to also maintain boundaries. Hence, mutual understanding and respect is primal. Please remember the person growth requires stepping out of our comfort zone. Best of luck for all your endeavors and I hope to see you soon in a live session.

Body positivity is an empowering movement advocating for the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of societal or media ideals. This concept is particularly important for women, who often face intense pressure to conform to specific beauty standards. Women's body positivity is about embracing and celebrating the diversity of female bodies in all their different sizes, shapes, colors, and ages. It is about recognizing that all bodies are beautiful and worthy, and rejecting the idea that a woman's value is tied to her appearance. This movement aims to help women cultivate a positive relationship with their bodies, encouraging self-love, self-acceptance, and self-care. It promotes the idea that everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin, and that respect and inclusivity should be the norm. Body positivity inspires women to focus on their capabilities, strengths, and character, rather than their appearance. It sends a powerful message that beauty is not a one-size-fits-all concept, and encourages society to redefine its perception of what it means to be beautiful. In essence, women's body positivity is a celebration of women in their most authentic form, advocating for self-love, acceptance, and a healthier perspective on the female body.more
