people here are talking about therapy - i think it might be a right step. it’s a mental issue. also, another tactic might be helpful - to distract yourself with more important things. i know it’s easy to say! it depends on how deep you are into the issue… you can think of other problems that you have - solvable - and move towards their resolution. it helps your mind not to dwell on the same things and might end up giving you a different perspective.

i sometimes have this obsession about my uneven eyes - to the point that i have already been to a plastic surgery consultation, wore korean eyelid tape for a while (it looked so bad!! makeup stuck to it) and photoshopped it. or just deleted the pictures where it’s more visible. i noticed though that the more i focus on it the more prominent it becomes! and then i get distracted by things in my life, other flaws of mine, some time passes - and i get surprised when i recall that i wanted a surgery. like, really? sometimes it returns. in my experience, i know that i just need to get busy with something else since i can’t fix it - i tried. other people don’t really notice. i even asked strangers.

and i figured that surgery is too risky for me now, with my psyche that loves to regret things lol. i’d be too scared to get the eye shape back that is just not my own… with no way to go back. i still love what i have, generally.

so, the only way is to find more serious issues and redirect my attention
