Is it normal to have this type of bizarre concept of "beautiful"?
I have always been the type of person who is told they are attractive, and can get almost any guy they want. When I am alone in my house for extended periods of time (like a slow, relaxing weekend) I like my appearance and think I am pretty. But as soon as a go out into the "real" world, everything falls apart to the point where I can't see any woman as attractive (including myself) unless they are absolutely perfect in every way and disgustingly skeletal. This has led to excessive dieting/fasting, cumpulsive excersize, and the use of pills to lower my weight. I'm not sure if this is a common result of the trend in US culture to idealize extreme femininity and bone-baring thinness, or a legitimate problem.
