Being distressed over aspect(s) of your appearance. It's an unfortunate though by no means uncommon mindset: many people are unhappy with the way they look. This phenomenon has little to do with the person's actual appearance (in fact, the biggest culprits are rarely unattractive or even unusual-looking), and almost everything to do with their self-perception. The simple fact is, most of us have an image of what we should look like.
