Gogol once said, "Many of us are ready to laugh at a person's crooked nose at any time, but are unable to laugh at a person's crooked soul." Many years later, psychologists were surprised to discover : When a person's mind is crooked, he will actually think that his nose is crooked. Since the beginning of the summer vacation, Ms. Zhang’s family in Hangzhou has not been “resting”. "My nose is crooked and ugly. I want plastic surgery!" This is a sentence that her daughter Xiaoxiao (pseudonym) talks about every day. Ms. Zhang and her husband's ears are almost calloused after hearing it. Beautiful daughter is obsessed with mirrors In the eyes of ordinary people, 21-year-old Xiao Xiao is an out-and-out beauty, with fair skin, delicate facial features, and a pair of big, talkative eyes. Last year, Xiaoxiao was admitted to the foreign language department of a university in Hangzhou and lived in a dormitory. Several girls in the same dormitory come from all over the country and have different living habits. Xiaoxiao often came back to complain that several roommates often held "bedtime talks" at night, talking about their love history until one or two in the morning, making her unable to sleep. "Although my daughter is beautiful, she has always been a good student and has never been in love." Ms. Zhang said that she estimated that Xiao Xiao would not be able to get in the conversation during the lying talk, and Xiao Xiao had an inferiority complex. Within a few months, Xiaoxiao said she couldn't get enough rest and ran home frequently. She almost became a "university student" and her relationship with her roommates became worse and worse. "Interpersonal relationship is the root cause" After her various "questions" were denied by her parents, Xiaoxiao finally attributed the problem to her nose. "I measured it with a ruler, and it was a little to the right! It bothered me when I saw it, and I must have corrective surgery." Xiao Xiao said that because her nose was so disgusting, everyone made fun of her and ignored her. Really unable to resist her daughter, a few days ago, Ms. Zhang took Xiao Xiao to the plastic surgery hospital. As a result, the doctor was also confused. "The nose is very straight, and there is no need for surgery at all." But Xiaoxiao solemnly took out a one-inch photo to prove that his nose was crooked. "Body Image Disorder" Caused by Poor Interpersonal Relationships Psychologist Huang Guosheng Xiaoxiao's condition belongs to body image disorder, also known as body dysmorphic disorder, which means that the perception of one's own body and appearance is abnormal, and one subjectively feels that one's body has been deformed. Certain brain lesions can cause body image disorders. For example, patients with anorexia nervosa who always feel that they are too fat are also a kind of body image disorder. In addition, body dysmorphic disorder can occur in schizophrenia, hypochondriasis, and social phobia. Some people do not think that they have "already" been deformed, but are afraid that they are "about to" become deformed. This situation is called "dysmorphophobia." In addition to brain lesions, an important cause of body image disorder is that patients feel that life is unsatisfactory, and ultimately blame their own bodies for the cause. Xiaoxiao has a bad relationship with her classmates and lacks friends, which makes her very painful. In order to change this situation, she went to find the reason. After searching around, I finally concluded from some clues that it must be my face that made others uncomfortable. So, she looked at her face carefully in the mirror and finally found that her nose was crooked! Her reasoning was confirmed by herself. But in fact, everyone’s nose is a little crooked, and no one’s nose is absolutely straight.
