Not that you have to be beautiful to act, but I would not be happy NOT being seen as beautiful. This is stupid, but a fact of my mentality. I have such a passion for acting, but I cannot imagine the horror of getting into it and going far and seeing a horrendous picture of myself. I honestly could not take it.
Does anyone else have these worries? Any other BDD sufferers around who are acting?
Anyway, if I get the courage I hope to be able to learn and grow into an actress. Nice to meet you all. |
no one is perfect you know! not even famous people, its about on the inside that counts and i can see from what you have written that you are a beautiful person! i have worrys about being interveiwed and being filmed although i have been in a short film for schools before its nothing compared to holly wood and stuff. i have now thought forget it if i want to be famous ive got to divid and concore my fears and worrys of being interveiwed and being on camera and seeing myself on tv!
