Conclusion:The essence of appearance anxiety is the digital alienation of self-identity. When we transform the panic of "being examined by others" into focus on "self-experience", we can rebuild a healthy appearance relationship. The latest neuroscience research shows that if no appearance evaluation (including positive evaluation) is performed for 6 months, the brain's self-image center will undergo structural changes. Beauty has never been a single visual standard, but an exterior of vitality.
