There can be more than one reason to why you develop a low body image. The causes differ from person to person. Here is a list of some possible causes: You have been brainwashed by society's norms. Some people are more sensitivethan others to the messages about how you "should" look that media bombards them with. You may be one of these people. What is "the right way to look" is different in different societies. If you feel that your body doesn't match your society's norm, and you are very concerned about fitting in and "being normal", you can easily get a low body image.
You have been influenced by your family.Do the others in your family have a low body image? In that case you may have "inherited" it from them. Is everyone else in your family better-looking than you? That's another reason to why you may feel ugly. Have you received negative comments about the way you look from your family? Again, this may have led you to start to dislike your appearance.
You have been influenced by your friends.If all of your friends also think negatively about the way they look, it would be surprising if you did not think in this negative way as well. Similarly, if you socialise with many people whom you consider to be better-looking than yourself, this would be a reason to why you feel the way you do. Perhaps your friends consider appearance very important and talk a lot about make-up, clothes, diets, exercise etc. If so you may find it difficult to reach their high standards.
You have a low self-esteem in general. If you have a generally low self-esteem you will feel negatively about most things about yourself, not just your appearance. It is difficult to feel beautiful, sexy and handsome if you deep down feel like you're not a valuable person.
