Body shaming involves humiliating someone by making
inappropriate or negative comments about their body size or shape.
As well as “fat shaming,” you may also hear negative comments if
you’re underweight or in reference to a specific body part.
This type of criticism can be made to others or yourself. You
may feel unhappy with your weight or how your body looks and
judge yourself harshly. You may even engage in negative self-talk,
such as “I feel so fat today” or “I need to stop stuffing my face with
food.”
The act of body shaming can be carried out (dilakukan) in
person or remotely via the internet and social media and can be
done by your parents, siblings, friends, or people you’re not even
close to.

Answers
Body shaming refers to the act of criticizing or mocking someone's
physical appearance, and it is harmful because it can damage self-
esteem and contribute to negative body image, leading to
emotional distress and mental health issues.
1. Body shaming can significantly impact a person's self-esteem
by making them feel inadequate, ashamed, or uncomfortable
in their own body.
2. Common examples of body shaming include making
derogatory comments about someone's weight, height, body
shape, skin color, or physical features. It can also involve
making unfair comparisons or spreading rumors about
someone's appearance.

health, leading to increased risk of developing anxiety,
depression, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia.

self-esteem, negative body image, disordered eating
behaviors, social isolation, and even self-harm or suicidal
thoughts.
5. Body shaming can contribute to the development of eating
disorders as individuals may internalize negative messages
about their bodies and engage in extreme behaviors to
conform to unrealistic beauty standards.
6. Strategies to address and combat body shaming include
promoting body positivity, challenging negative body talk,
educating others about the harmful effects of body shaming,
fostering self-acceptance, and creating supportive
environments that celebrate diverse body types.

unrealistic beauty standards, promoting comparison, and

positivity messages and challenge societal norms.

children and teenagers by teaching body acceptance, fostering
positive body image, promoting media literacy, encouraging

In recent years, there has been an effort to reverse the body shaming
emphasis and promote more love and acceptance of how we look. Social
media platforms have utilized body positivity hashtags to gain more followers
and help address the appearance-based prejudices that have been ingrained in
us.
Of course, it will take time to change longstanding ideals of beauty. We
have all internalized these messages in different ways based upon our cultural
beliefs and norms. As the saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,”
and this also holds true for our views about various body shapes and sizes.
Body positivity is a continuous journey towards accepting yourself and
others. It takes patience and practice to alter longstanding cultural beliefs and
learn self-compassion. You can’t control what others say or do, but you can
change your all-or-nothing thinking and start to view yourself as a whole
person.
Body shaming most often refers to someone’s body. However, other
attributes of a person’s physical appearance can also be targeted, such as:
weight, attractiveness, age, clothing, body, hair, food, being trendy, makeup.
