What kind of psychology does a girl always say that she is fat and wants to lose weight?
In daily life, when girls get together, they always like to talk about losing weight, although their body shape is very standard and they are far from being "fat".

So what kind of psychology are girls keen to discuss such topics? Let's see how to explain it from a psychological point of view.

One view is that for the purpose of social comparison, the purpose of clarifying others' evaluation of themselves is achieved through such conversations. The concept of social comparison was first put forward by Festinger, an American social psychologist, which means that people use others as comparison objects to evaluate themselves in the absence of effective information. From this perspective, "obesity talk" is actually a process of information exchange. Its original intention is not to express dissatisfaction with one's body, but to achieve the purpose of social confirmation through such discussions, that is, to clarify others' views on one's body.

Another view is that conformity refers to the social and psychological behavior of giving up personal opinions and keeping consistent with everyone under the influence of groups. When the girl around her is dissatisfied with her figure, if she keeps silent at this moment, it seems that she thinks her figure is perfect, then under the pressure of the group and the need to integrate into the group, the individual will express similar views with the group members. In this way, the discussion on the topic of "obesity" has expanded.

No matter for what purpose, fairies must consider losing weight on the premise of health. Oh, it's not worth losing weight at the expense of health!
