Obesity can lead to low self-esteem. A survey shows that women typically self-deprecate eight times a day, mostly complaining about being overweight.
According to Hong Kong's East Network on January 4, many women are naturally fond of beauty and spend their lives pursuing perfect appearances. However, the rise of selfies and social media in recent years may lead women into endless self-criticism. A survey conducted by a U.S. fitness company found that women average 8 instances of self-criticism per day, with the most common criticism being dissatisfaction with their weight.
It is reported that the survey interviewed over 2,000 women and found that they average 8 instances of self-criticism per day, and among every 7 women, 1 person spends the entire day putting themselves down. Additionally, 46% of respondents admitted to starting self-criticism before 9:30 a.m. each day; 42% of women admitted they never praise themselves. The survey also mentioned that women are most likely to put themselves down when they look in the mirror or go shopping.
Experts believe that the popularity of selfies and the development of social media make it easy for women to compare themselves to others online, leading to frequent self-reproach for not being "good enough."
Below are 20 of the most common self-criticisms among women:
1) Being too fat or overweight
2) Having messy hair
3) Having a "belly pouch"
4) Not exercising enough
5) Looking untidy compared to other women
