Body shaming can lead to numerous psychological effects such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Individuals may develop negative body image and engage in unhealthy behaviors, including disordered eating or excessive exercising. The shame associated with one's appearance can also result in social withdrawal and avoidance of activities that promote health or social interaction. Ultimately, the impact of body shaming extends beyond mental health and can adversely affect physical well-being, as individuals might neglect their health due to shame or embarrassment.
