Natural Discomfort
I'm doing a study for class on people with discomfort in their appearances. It's a natural thing that most people find some imperfection about themselves so if you could take a moment to fill this out and post it, it would be helpful. Please be serious...

Do you have some part of your body that you feel uncomfortable with?
My rear. I don't know why, I just don't like it.
Do you have some part of your body that you feel comfortable with that other people within your sex don't? My calves.
Do you think it's normal human behaviour to feel imperfect or is it just fear of being intolerated in society? I think it's that people think that they won't be accepted unless their appearance is perfect.

Have as anyone ever criticised some part of your body? I'm always being made fun of about my height. I'm really short.
Do you have some part of your body that you feel uncomfortable with? My face.
Do you have some part of your body that you feel comfortable with that other people within your sex don't? My boobs.
Do you think it's normal human behaviour to feel imperfect or is it just fear of being intolerated in society? I think it's a little of both. It would be hard to answer since we do not live in a society without media. As long as you see images, you are going to naturally be affected by them.

Have as anyone ever criticised some part of your body? Yes, my hair and my height(everybody thinks I'm too tall).
Do you have some part of your body that you feel uncomfortable with? My face
Do you have some part of your body that you feel comfortable with that other people within your sex don't? Not that I can think of.
Do you think it's normal human behaviour to feel imperfect or is it just fear of being intolerated in society? It depends on the person. Some people want to be perfect so everybody will like them. Then there are others, like me, who don't care at all about society, but have a drive to become pperfect or as close to as possible. The last one tends to happen to an extreme, and I bet it's a symptom of some personality disorder or something.

Have as anyone ever criticised some part of your body? Not really (when I was in grade school some kid said I was fat.)
Do you have some part of your body that you feel uncomfortable with?
I could stand to lose some weight
Do you have some part of your body that you feel comfortable with that other people within your sex don't? can't think of any
Do you think it's normal human behaviour to feel imperfect or is it just fear of being intolerated in society? I don't think it's normal, I think it is something created by the media...or actually any society that clothes themselves. If you think about it, it makes sense. If you're walking around nearly naked (or completely naked) you really can't look at the human body in the same way as a culture in which bodies are hidden. I think its normal human behaviour to find beauty in something, but not to feel imperfect about your body.

Gender: Male
Have as anyone ever criticised some part of your body? Puffy cheeks from when I was on prednizone (but most of those guys were assholes so it didn't bother me).
Do you have some part of your body that you feel uncomfortable with? I got a bit of a "beer belly".
Do you have some part of your body that you feel comfortable with that other people within your sex don't? Not really...
Do you think it's normal human behaviour to feel imperfect or is it just fear of being intolerated in society? It is normal to feel imperfect in ones body. However, fear of intolerance is mostly unfounded. Most people are rather self-absorbed in their appearance, overly-concerned about how they look. While to society, that person looks perfectly fine.

not really. I mean I guess my face, which I find just ok ,but my boyfriends and girlfriends have said it's really cute lol.
Do you think it's normal human behaviour to feel imperfect or is it just fear of being intolerated in society? It's just how we see our selves and the story we made up about ourselves. Everyone is imperfect.

Have as anyone ever criticised some part of your body? Yes. My hair, my posture, skin (acne), height, too skinny, etc, etc.
Do you have some part of your body that you feel uncomfortable with?
My posture. But especially my skin.

I don't think its normal to feel naturally self-conscious, and is probably a product of society.
