This video was actually so nice, it's the good type of buzzfeed
Kishan Vedia fair enough 😂 I'm mainly here for buzzfeed unsolved and the try guys
I love how this is a man. Because lots of the time they are focusing on women and their body image and disregard the fact that sometimes men feel the same way
i’m a skinny as f i wear so many layers to hide my pencil like body
It happens very often to men.
Boys have many of the same body images as women do; it's just not discussed. While women have the unrealistic Barbie dolls to contend with, boys have GI Joe, Superman, Batman, etc with the ridiculous chest-waist ratios, abs, etc. And as boys develop into men, they have some definition of what a man is looming over them from military to athletes to lumberjack/manly man. And the fitness magazines get men, too, but sometimes, it hits them in all directions. Just a few months ago, Men's Health had some guy on the cover - ripped body, pecs, abs, etc...but...he was also an army medic turned Army Ranger turned ER doctor in real life who also does charity work. WTF!
*HEY GUYS* did you know ethnic Jews started the counter revolution of normal societies in America & Europe - google Frankfurt School
That's what I was gonna say
The animation style was amazing. I love everything about this :)
Thank you, I'm the animator :)
Loving your body is hard to do, and many struggle to accept how they look. Don't think about what others think, especially if it is bad. Accept every compliment.
Aliya Kensler No. Do think about what people say in a negative way too, but learn to differentiate who says it to help you and who says just to bother.
Because we need to see our faults to get better. :3
Aliya Kensler i wouldn't apply that to something as subjective as appearance. Your appearance is yours- everybody else's opinion is irrelevant and there are no right or wrong answers, but your science essay, for example? Yeah, you should probably listen if somebody has something (constructively) negative to say about it because there are right and wrong answers there
This is so beautiful, thank you for your story.
My problem is that I think I look better than I do, then get a shock when I see a photo of myself or look in the mirror
Haha i know that feel
so inspiring and so good to hear that other guys struggle with body image too.
yah chris, we're all in the same boat. keep at it!
I do too. Most body image resources are directed towards women sometimes exclusively, so to have recognition that men struggle with this too is a relief
This is why you should be kind to everyone js little actions make differences
Preach! And we need more comments like yours to help remind negative people :)
Phantastic Beasts Someone didn't have a calculator today, I had a spare. People were surprised I think I was even called cute lol, not sure. Just wanted to help someone since no one else had one, usually I'd be to shy to say anything, since I don't know those people.
Edgaras Karalkevicius - Nice!! It's really that simple :)
nahh learn to take criticsim, and be mentally strong.. cant expect evryone to be all nice and sweet to you
Kishan Vedia - Missing the point.
I think I'm gonna out and tell people they have nice legs. Thanks, Dav.
This... is not the point, haha
I think it kinda is. It is about learning to love your own body, but it is not wrong to help people achieving that goal easier. One compliment can mean a lot to a person ;)
I think as long as you don't mean it sexually then it'd be acceptable
my pleasure, but be careful!
PeanutBetter27 Only if you mean it.
I love this, the style, the art, the message
I cried watching this. As someone who suffers from body dismorphia and who has recovered from anorexia only to result in binge eating disorder...watching BuzzFeed constantly cover fitness videos of people loosing weight and looking amazing has been so damaging to my self esteem. This has been a great video thanks so much for doing this.
hey thanks for watching it! it's hard with all the stuff out there to stay focused. keep at it =)
I'm glad a man is doing this to show that this isn't just a women's issue. We all go threw stuff.
I blame the media.
You shouldn't care about how your body looks.
Care about your health, and the rest will fall into place.
It's amazing how a few simple words can make such a difference in someone's life. Loved this video
I have no chin, I have small breasts, I have big thighs and small butt, I have a double chin, I have a big nose, yellow teeth, and a big forehead... 🙃
At least I have green eyes 😅
N Jackson i have no chin, goes on saying i have 2 chins
Describing Shrek? lol
N Jackson if u have double chin how do u not have a chin
N Jackson and every piece of you is made out of atoms... Atoms are awesome and so are you!
nope still hate myself

Liradu2 - Agree completely. It's extremely hard to change this way of thinking that you've been doing your entire life. I've been suffering for twenty years. That's a long time. And I'm STILL working on it! But I am no where near where I was ten years ago (or even five or two years ago).
I've come across an interesting analogy that might help this make more sense. Think of your thoughts about yourself and your body as a well-travelled beaten path. It's so easy for your thoughts to go down that path, but the minute you want them to blaze a new trail (the trail of postive thinking and self-compassion), it's so much work to walk over the tall grass. It's tempting to just leap back to the beaten path, as you have always done. The more practice you have of thinking the new way - going down that unbeaten path - the easier it will become. Soon you will make this new path more-travelled and it won't be so hard to go down it. In turn, the old path of negative-thinking and self-loathing will soon grow over and it will feel less easy to go that way.
It is a lot of work and I have days where I just want to curl up and do nothing but hate myself. But with enough practice, I know I will eventually change my thoughts
Liradu2 nope i have definitely tried. most of the issue is that i was born with anorexia and rn i'm 15 pounds underweight and i'm constantly told "oh you have a great body" but hey no i dont
For everyone who thought Buzzfeed only talks about women's issues..
Well, they do usually. This was pleasantly surprising, though. I really really love the video.
Antonio Lolesio he already works out daily to combat his weight
besides, a lot of people have unfortunate genetics which lead them to gain weight easily due to lower metabolism
some just blatantly can't lose weight like those with hypothyroidism and people that already have diabetes
in which case, telling them _not_ to accept themselves while they can't do crap about it is only going to make them hate themselves more
You must accept who you are before others can.
lone wanderer not necessarily, everyone deserves to be loved and accepted even if they have trouble loving and accepting themselves
I hope someone sees this.... Have a great night. Chase your dreams and never give up on them! Let's make em come true!!!
ty
Campbell ya amazing
Thank you for not leaving a hate comment! You are the best!
have a good weekend!
Thank you for writing this☺️ I literally started crying, don't know why,tho. I've just had a rough day I guess. ❤️
This video is amazing, so visually representative or how people with bodily dysmorphia feel. "No one is ever as mean to you as you are to yourself" resonates🙌🏼
I'm so happy for you! I've been on a similar journey, and this made me smile. I believe many people struggle, and it's important to talk about it.
His body, the sketch of what he actually looks like, is what my boyfriends body looks like. It's beautiful and so nice to hold ❤️
I'm a pre-everything trans guy and I really relate. It's just so easy to get stuck on the things you don't like, to let them get you down and beat you down. I'd love to try the drawing thing, but at the same time, drawing myself makes me feel like I'm lying to myself, like I'm pretending I'm more masculine or attractive than I really am. So I'm either "lying" or just really, really uncomfortable... I'm trying to work on it, though. I think when I finally work up the courage to come out, I can start being myself, and therefore seeing me as I REALLY am, instead of through the distortion of my imagination. To any of my fellow trans brothers and sisters (and everything in between), just remember to focus on the good and keep moving forwards. We can make it, together.
i, a random stranger on the internet, love you and can't fully comprehend what you're struggling with, but i hope you get to wherever you want to, and feel comfortable there. it's not my place to say, but don't let anyone make you feel less of yourself or your identity...ever. sincerely, a fellow member of the lgbt community.
The animation style is so awesome, omg!
So, this was amazing. :-)
Thank you buzzfeed and Dav for this story! Thank you
Ooh this one got me good. Everything that he described, even to the exaggeration of the sketches and drawings, is exactly how I see myself; my chest is one of the touchiest subjects, after having been bullied in middle school. It is so great to see some light shed on this issue--how men can also suffer from body image issues and dysmorphia.
I am still learning to love myself. It's a slow process, but it's better and better with each passing year, and that's all I can really hope for.
It's really too bad that I can barely draw even a stick figure, or else I would definitely give that coping mechanism a try!
"No one is ever as mean to you as you are to yourself" literally this quote changed my life..
This is so... inspiring. It makes one more conscious about the way they see themselves. and what's real and what's not

Love how this is made from a male perspective. We all struggle with stuff like this - it's not just about girls wanting to look like a Victoria's Secret Model. Well done and incredibly important 💛
This is utterly fantastic. Brought me to tears by how relatable it is. The art and animation was amazing as well! BuzzFeed staff is so talented and insightful! Congrats on your progress Dav!
Thank you for sharing this amazing story. I'm so sorry for what you've gone through. I've been there many times too, without an objective way of observing and evaluating the flawed images. Your drawing exercise proved revolutionary in this sense, and made it possible for me to completely flip my perspective for the better. I wish you the very best on your mental health journey, and thanks once again.
I love how he tells his story. It makes me want to talk to him in person.
Really beautiful video!
I've always loved drawing, it's therapeutic to me. I've always had sever body image issues (to the extent of hospitalization). So when you talked about drawing yourself as you imagine, and then drawing your reflection it just kind of clicked for me. I'm going to start doing it every time I have a bad self image day. On the days where I hate myself and the body I'm stuck in the most. thank you, this really helped me.
I'd love to enjoy drawing again without rushing through it
This is so beautiful and has inspired me so much, nothing has ever related so much. I'm still dealing with this today. When i was little there was a time where i covered my mirrors and avoided any reflective surface. To this day it's incredibly hard to look or take photos of myself.
i cannot thank you enough, i have been suffering from bulimia, i never knew how to reach out or tell anyone, but this video, it helped me in so many ways, it made me realise nobody actually told me to lose weight but me, it made me realise i shouldn't have to throw up just to feel okay, I shouldn't have to feel this way my entire life when it's already short, thank you.
just WOW. I love the style of drawing, love the story, love the message. It's wonderful!
This made my soul happy. I have PTSD and depression issues. it has been a loooong winter here in Canada . Today, I thought i would try on some spring and summer clothes at the mall. I was so frustrated to see that i have eased my depression with food this winter, and gained quite a bit of weight . Been beating myself up about it since getting back this afternoon. I need to remember that im my toughest critic
What an awesome video!! As an animator, I'm really loving how this beautiful sketchy art style was used to tell a compelling story with an important message we all need to hear 💖
I'm so proud of you, Dav. This takes a lot of courage and a lot of work.
This is amazing, the illustrations are beautiful
this is wholesome and comforting and familiar and needed thank you you have courage and you are loved dav
i love this guy, i dont know who you are dav, but ily
Instead of focusing on physical "flaws" we hate about ourselves, we should focus on things we like about ourselves, both physical and especially inner traits. Also, we don't have to see our physical flaws with such a negative connotation. We can see them as perfect imperfections instead. For example, I used to loathe my almond-shaped monolided eyes. I even went through extreme measures of buying eyelid tape and desiring to get double eyelid surgery when I turned 18. It just seemed like to me that society's epitome of beauty was large, doll-like blue eyes like Barbie's as it was advertised everywhere. Now that I've grown away from that self-loathing, I've learned to love how my eyes look because they're a part of me and I no longer see them as a flaw.
congratulations buzzfeed, this is actually things I'd love to watch
this has brought me to tears. i see so much of myself in this, and it has really inspired me to look at myself differently
good i'm glad!
This inspired me, thank you. Truly.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH IWANNNA LIKE THIS A BILLION TIMESSSSS. THANK YOU SO MUCH BUZZFEED ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's like you were in my head! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I needed this more than you know. 💜
I LOVE THIS! Thank you buzzfeed. You have outdone yourself
This was so awesome. I loved it. Thank you for putting this up buzzfeed
Love this! More of this Buzzfeed!
So true. You share my journey. I'm happy you found it for you :)
This video was so powerful and lovely! Thank you. I am sharing this.
This is quality that I craved from buzzfeed.
I needed to need this. Thank you to whoever shared their story in this video❣
This is wonderful and inspiring!!!!! 😃😃👍🏼👍🏼💛💛 Thank you, Dav!!!
this is my favorite buzzfeed video ever published
I loved this vid, please make more :) It really does give hope to those that suffer from body dysmorphia and shows others what it can be like from the sufferer's perspective.
Your literally just save my life.
Than you for making this video.
love this, i really needed this. thanks buzzfeed
I think this is one of my favourite body acceptance videos by buzzfeed.
As someone who suffered from anorexia and bulimia going through high school, and is still learning to see myself as I am, this video was really inspiring, so thanks 😊❤️
This deserves more views.
I never comment but this video truly means something to me on a next level . I'm really glad I've seen this so thanks .
Now this is the type of quality content I'd like to see @ BuzzFeed
Idea for BuzzFeed (if it hasn't been made already): Make a video about how ideal body standards for BOTH male and female doesn't mean they're attractive for everyone. Everyone has their own different quirks about what make another person attractive and that should be the main priority of the message. One person might like Muscular bodies or Skinny bodies but another person could like bigger bodies and a more curvy type of shape.
This is what i say all the time 👌🏼
I really loved the aesthetic of this video and the guy's attitude. Super nice vid.
Plot twist: she was being sarcastic
thank you so much Dav. this is amazing
i love this!!!! please make more of these drawing videos and thank you for inspiring and promoting self love ❤️
I actually just did a research project on this for english and I had to present it. I learned that men are affected by negative body image as much as women are. This helps show that. Thank you for this!!
This was greatly empowering and helpful.
One of the best videos I've seen on buzzfeed ❤️
This is amazing!! You portrayed it in such a real way!! I hope you're doing better than yesterday :)
I think I will try and do this, too. The drawing thing in the mirror. Thank you for sharing your story, Dav! ^^
Thank you for this. I always see commercials talking about how women shouldn't be treated because of there body type, but they don't realize men have FEELINGS. Everyone doesn't understand men have bodies. We have Sagging Fat that we are disgusted by when we look in the mirror. But no one is ever there to say "It's ok." there just there to go over to a women or girl and say you look Beautiful. And girls are beautiful it's just men want comments, and we all want to feel good about our bodies.
sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't even recognize the person staring back at me because I look nothing at all that I think I look like and the mental Image I have of myself is so much stronger than the physical image and its kind of scary
OK THIS IS UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL AND I FEEL SO INSPIRED RIGHT NOW.
This is such a beautiful story
This is truly beautiful 💕 thank you from the bottom of my heart.
i love this, self love is a journey
the situation being described before the acceptance, is an accurate representation of me at this point in my life, and it's really sad when I look at it from another perspective
This was a really nice and motivational video. I really liked it, I think there is a lot of room for videos like this on the internet. People should make more of these kind of videos.
This is actually really helpful
thanks soooooo much! already love u ;) transformed my week
This is utterly amazing.
Buzzfeed plzz make more of these videos, it helps a lot!
Yah I don't think drawing how I look in my mirror will help me out. I'll stick to trying to work out till what I see pleases me, if ever.
I needed this. Thank you.
I really need to try this!! Thank you for making this video!
This is so honest and beautiful.
I needed this today! Thank you!
This was so great, I can't even describe how much better it made me feel right now!
I love this. The animation is interesting and amazing. I can relate to this video with my own insecurities and it was really calming just watching this. This is great
I just felt this way earlier today. Watching this video made it a whole lot better.
I have issues with body image too, I have a lot of little odd things about me. When I was born, the doctor noticed one of my left ribs pokes out a bit. It's not a health concern, but it sure looks like I'm constantly sucking in my stomach to look skinnier and I hate it. I have violin hips. Instead of being smooth, there's a dip inbetween my hip and my leg. I have a fairly large gap inbetween my lower canine and the tooth beside it. It was caused from my baby tooth being very large and my adult tooth being normal sized. Because of this, I'm not too fond of smiling in pictures. But I'm learning to embrace my quirks, and you should too. Love what makes you unique.
a shape to break the spell!
thanks for the Inspiron
Thank you. I'm just so insecure about my huge thighs and fat hips and waist... this videos just helped me a lot, I'll try the drawing tip ^^
