Buying diet pills for four weeks will cost Zotto two months' living expenses. In this way, although she knew that the special diet pills from Yarrow would do great harm to her health, her morbid pursuit of "bamboo legs" and "A4 waist" still made her unbearable.

Recently, the media of Zhongqing School conducted a questionnaire survey on 2063 college students' appearance anxiety. The results show that 59.03% of college students have different degrees of anxiety in appearance. Among them, the proportion of serious appearance anxiety of boys (9.09%) is higher than that of girls (3.94%), and the proportion of minor cases of girls (59.67%) is higher than that of boys (37. 14%). What is the cause of appearance anxiety?

Che Yukai, an associate professor at the School of Psychology of South China Normal University, said that psychological research shows that women's appearance anxiety is more serious than men's. On the other hand, appearance anxiety is stratified by age structure to some extent. "People who have appearance anxiety problems are usually young people in their twenties." Some college students pay too much attention to themselves, are self-centered, and are prone to appearance instability, and even have social fears because of appearance instability. "For example, college students sometimes get acne and can't see people."

According to the media survey in this middle school, there are some differences in the scores of college students' appearance satisfaction. 55.29% of the respondents thought that their looks were 3 points and average, 24.73% were satisfied with their looks, and only 7.87% were satisfied, so they chose 5 points out of 100.

In her opinion, many parts of her body failed to meet psychological expectations. "For example, the nose is not high enough, the chin is short, and the eyes are small." Tang is often troubled by this "unsatisfactory" shortcoming. Even if she accepts delivery in the dormitory, she has to put on simple makeup for herself. "I can't accept myself without makeup." ""。 According to the media survey of youth education in China, inferiority complex (53.5 1%), monotonous public aesthetic (5 1.68%), expectation of others' approval (49.39%) and comparison psychology (47.5 1%) are the main reasons for unstable appearance.

Hermione's face value as a broadcasting major can be described as "playing well". In elementary school, Japan and Britain were girls who walked in front and held half a card. At the middle school sports meeting, she was the tour guide of the radio team, so a girl who was always crowded in the center of the stage had been suffering from appearance anxiety for ten years. However, most of her anxiety comes from herself.

In the third grade of primary school, Li Shunxin read her mother's fashion magazine and knew what "three positive and five security" was for the first time. She picked up the ruler for calculation and challenged her face. "At that time, it was found that five eyes met the standard, and Sanzheng did not meet the gold standard." From "beauty" to greatness, Japan and Britain realized for the first time that they didn't seem so perfect.

Entering middle school, I saw a bigger world at the eye-catching Heyuan in Weibo. Because there are more and more channels to receive information and know more "beautiful sisters", her appearance anxiety will "not increase". When I was a freshman, my good friend advised pear-shaped people to wear jeans less. Japan and Britain are very grateful to their friends for their advice, but her appearance anxiety adds another "problem".

As a three-generation girl who is deeply insecure about her figure, Juicy Zuo who wants to join the media field seems to have been losing weight. "If you ask questions on Weibo, how thin are women with a height of 165cm? They will tell you 85 pounds. " In study and practice, sometimes the mirror needs to come out, so the lens often calls the left support "lateral extension". Compared with other bloggers on the Internet, she feels that she looks a little bloated.

Pool? Yu Kai admits that at present, many college students are troubled by appearance anxiety for three main reasons. First of all, beauty is good, which is the general impression of people. Job hunting, etc. Other things being equal, being good-looking can occupy a certain advantage. Second, at present, social media is developed and information is developing rapidly, and personal judgment on appearance is influenced by external factors such as social environment. "Each of us is exposed to a lot of information every day, and mobile phones and online information occupy most of our lives. At the same time, the Internet can show us the most beautiful images of men and women in the world anytime and anywhere.

Faced with the impact of many leading images, we often involuntarily form a subjective impression that there are many beautiful men and women in the world, but we don't, or even feel that we are not beautiful. This is a potential social comparison problem. On the other hand, Zhi Yankai said that with the development of medical beauty and the publicity of weight loss cases in all aspects, people will have the concept that "image can be shaped through their own efforts". Connect appearance, money, effort, etc.

"In this case, if a person is not beautiful, he has no money to do beauty, and he is lazy and can't control his appetite, which shows that his willpower is very weak. This kind of marketing suggestion is more likely to cause people's appearance anxiety. " The "big battle" of Z-generation store appearance anxiety. Pool? Yukai According to the laws of psychology, when people see beautiful people, they will subconsciously match good qualities. This is the recognition of beautiful things and an inevitable part of human nature. It is acceptable for college students to pursue beauty appropriately.

Tang, an accounting major, knows that his appearance anxiety is more serious than his habits and people around him, and excessive attention to his appearance defects leads to inferiority. "I will carry all kinds of cosmetics such as eyebrows and lipstick with me and make up at any time. In addition to making herself up, Tang Yuji also bought several beauty projects to "become beautiful as soon as possible". Under the recommendation of a friend, she planted eyelashes, eyebrows and permed her hair, and the results could not satisfy her. " It costs about 200 won to plant eyelashes at a time, but it can only last for one month at most. The process of false eyelashes falling off will make your eyes sour. In her view, the "beauty" brought by this beauty project is only a flash in the pan, with low cost performance, and will soon "return to its original shape".

According to a survey conducted by the middle-aged media, 48.65% of the respondents indicated that they would actively protect their skin, exercise and improve makeup artist because of their unstable appearance. Among them, 55.25% of girls took action, which was higher than 30. 17% of boys. 17.02% of the boys did not take action. This figure is only 5.52% among female students. 5.39% of the respondents are considering plastic surgery or cosmetology because of their uncomfortable appearance.

During the Spring Festival this year, Wang Luoyi, who was troubled by her restless appearance, took a photo of Zhang Gang with double eyelids in the "sunshine" of her circle of friends. "I used to be very determined, but I didn't try this meaningful program because I was afraid of pain, but recently I saw my cousin cut her double eyelids and felt that the effect was very good, so I wanted to try it." As long as it doesn't harm Wang Luo's own health and your parents agree, you can take part in meaningful projects. "I'm surprised that my parents also support double eyelid cutting. So I want to make this idea more firm and let myself see the difference.

Yang, a junior majoring in Japanese, recently became a double eyelid surgery. But unlike Wang Luoyi, she had quarreled with her parents for this. "Parents' concept is conservative, thinking that pure nature is the best. But I told them it was a minor operation and there was not much danger. Besides, even if they don't agree now, I will do it myself in the future. "

Yang usually goes to the beauty salon to do skin cleaning care to make her skin better, and medical beauty is normal for her. "I think it is no problem to do proper medical beauty without damaging my health. As long as you think clearly, you must be responsible for your choices. " At the same time, she will learn skills such as losing weight, making up and dressing through online videos to keep up with the aesthetic trend of the current society. But because of this, although her appearance is constantly changing, she is always dissatisfied with herself. Yang said bluntly. "Because I have seen too many handsome men and beautiful women in online celebrities, I want to be more in line with the mainstream aesthetics of society.

With the improvement of public demand for appearance and the diversification of consumer market, more and more beauty, skin management and meaningful projects appear. Through investigation, the media in this middle school found that 45.95% of the college students interviewed said that they could have proper beauty treatment, but they did not accept meaningful projects (45.438+0% for girls and 47.20% for boys). 30.84% people said they would accept basic medical beauty projects such as cleaning and Songshan (37.36% girls and 2.57% boys/kloc-0). 15.27% said that they resolutely refused the beauty and meaning project (9.8 1% for women and 30.56% for men). 7.94% of the respondents indicated that they could obtain various types of semantic items (7.32% for girls and 9.67% for boys).

"Poetry in the belly" is more worth pursuing.

Appearance anxiety has troubled many college students, but rationality is still the first state when facing appearance anxiety. According to the survey results, 9 1.70% of the respondents said that they would not take behaviors that threaten their health (such as excessive weight loss and plastic surgery) because of their unstable appearance. In addition, 72.65% of the respondents said that they should learn to accept their own incompleteness. 57.38% people said that they should be good at discovering their own advantages and treat themselves correctly. 50.3 1% people said that they should find their own expectations and meet them. 45. 1 1% people said that they should be more confident in the face of inferiority.

In order to reduce their appearance, Japan and Britain have made a lot of efforts. "I want to take a selfie with the follow-up lens of my mobile phone. After the shooting, if I take a good look at what went wrong, I will remember it. Next time I take a photo, I will try to avoid problems such as makeup and expression adjustment. " In addition to learning to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, there are also fitness and healthy eating. There are many healthy lifestyles. Japan and Britain have run five kilometers three or four times a week for three years.

Chen Enze, a broadcasting major, also put forward strict requirements for her appearance. A year ago, his weight was reduced from 160 kg to 1 10 kg in order to take an art test. Run to the playground 1 km from the dormitory at 6 o'clock every morning, then practice your voice, and go to the playground for 30 minutes after self-study at night. For half a year, my daily diet is mainly vegetables and fruits. "I often cry while running, because I look bad and feel abandoned by the world. Looking back on himself, Chen Enze said, "I think I'm cute. "

At present, Juicy Zuo has overcome her physical instability and is taking healthy and reasonable measures to lose weight. She didn't have the courage to reply "Don't wear a skirt if you are so fat" and "Eat if you are so heavy". Just silently hiding in the bedroom quilt and crying. However, with the encouragement of more and more friends, Zuo became more and more confident, and the copy and content of the video became richer in his own exploration, which gained the attention and support of many people. Juicy Zuo thanked the people around him for slowly accepting his imperfections. "I will continue to lose weight, but in a healthy way, not for anyone but for myself."

Facing the problem of appearance anxiety, Zhijuan suggested that college students should first adjust their understanding of beauty and correctly understand beauty, which is also a double-edged sword. "Appearance plays a great role in meeting people for the first time, but it doesn't play a decisive role in the long process of getting along with people, and its importance may also decline. To a certain extent, it is normal to look restless and pay attention to image. But the focus of life can't be on appearance. There are many important things in life. "

Second, it is acceptable for young people to do some beautiful and meaningful projects properly, but it is not a long-term solution to the development path of life. Self-disciplined rest, healthy lifestyle, proper dress and makeup can help college students become better. "The ultimate source of human charm is not beauty." It is a more important pursuit for college students to have a poem in the belly and a magnetization in the body. People who have happiness are not necessarily beautiful people, but people who feel beautiful.
