It’s a headfuck.”īody dysmorphia is a mental health condition where a person is often riddled with anxiety due to perceived flaws in their physical appearance, which are usually unnoticeable to others. And I think that body dysmorphia - which we all deal with in this world – is extrapolated by the issues of social media. Moretz explained that she was “kind of sad” after the meme went viral because “it took a layer of something that I used to enjoy, which was getting dressed up and going to a carpet and taking a photo, and made me super self-conscious. And to this day, when I see that meme, it’s something very hard for me to overcome.” It was something so benign as walking into a hotel with leftovers.
“And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it’s something that I can’t change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram. “Everyone was making fun of my body, and I brought it up with someone and they were like, ‘Oh, shut the fuck up, it’s funny,'” Moretz continued.
