Many beautiful young girls have high requirements for their looks because of their lack of self-confidence, and they have plastic surgery again and again. In life, this kind of cosmetic addiction is not uncommon. For example, an American model turned herself into a Barbie doll hundreds of times at 12. People who have plastic surgery so frequently are addicted to plastic surgery. At this time, for them, what they really want to go to is not a cosmetic institution, but a psychological institution.
Let's have a look. What are the psychological factors leading to plastic surgery?
First, self-denial. People who have undergone plastic surgery for many times have a compensation mechanism for their original self-denial and disapproval. They don't want to see their former selves, but want to change through plastic surgery and make themselves confident through plastic surgery.
Second, their ideal self is too high, and their expectations exceed their reality, so they will persistently pursue perfection. In fact, the ideal value in their eyes is actually the value of what they imagine in the hearts of others. Once they have this idea, they will become slaves of fear, and emotions such as pain, despair and misery will always accompany them. At this time, I tried to achieve my ideal appearance through plastic surgery.
Everyone wants to live in harmony with others, which is what our social etiquette requires of us. However, we are always bound by others' eyes, value our own value in others' eyes so much, and are so eager for others' appreciation that it is a kind of "morbid" to regard plastic surgery as a routine.
Third, pathological plastic surgery. Some people who have undergone initial plastic surgery are out of control, and the most typical one is Cindy, an American woman? Jackson, she longed to be a Barbie doll since she was a child. Later, after 47 large-scale plastic surgery and countless other minor operations, she finally became "Barbie".
People who are keen on plastic surgery should figure out a question: should it be "appearance" or "psychology"? Some people think that constant plastic surgery is the pursuit of perfection. In fact, people's sense of "perfection" changes with time. For those who undergo repeated plastic surgery, we should consider whether there are psychological problems. You know, psychological problems cannot be solved by any plastic surgery.
Plastic addiction mostly stems from paranoid mentality. The psychological mechanism of cosmetic addiction is similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder and hypochondria. The parties will repeatedly feel that they are not perfect enough to accept themselves now, but in order to pursue perfection and "the next one will be better", they will continue to have plastic surgery, but unfortunately "the next one is still not good enough".
Psychological advice on plastic addiction;
First, live in the present. Self-subjective and arbitrary judgment standards have increased their dissatisfaction with appearance. Learning to accept and live in the present is the real thing. Awareness and equality are our present ways, and we can never bypass them and enter the present directly.
Second, accept the impermanence law. Under the laws of nature, everything, including our emotions, feelings and thoughts, is inevitably subject to impermanent fate. Accept the laws of impermanence in order to have positive energy.
Third, behavior adjustment. Change your behavior pattern, strive to get out of the closed self and increase interpersonal communication.
