one of the orange ray pitfalls (self-esteem, self-valuing) quite often shows up quite clearly in how we relate to our bodies.
am I ugly? am I fat? am I unattractive? is my racial type unappealing etc.
sure, we don't all have model like bodies (if that is the uber-model you aspire to), but one can be ok with one's physical appearance.
if you think you have it bad - imagine a physical body/appearance that has some more outlier type characteristics - say, dwarfism, or cerebal palsy etc.
so hey - am I happy with my physical appearance, and what I see in the mirror? do I even avoid looking in the mirror (which is a phase I passed through when younger;
gawd; those minor food allergies that caused ruddiness and flushing, zits galore at minor points).
so its definitely a simple question to ask oneself, and the answer is just as simple and revealing to the self of where your attitudes currently are.
vive la différence!!
ps I personally I find actors/casting in movies and tv shows much more interesting when they aren't the 'chiselled' type expections of beauty (for both genders).
