Body Image laid bare | Jem Gunn | TEDxUoChester

[fatmasavuci]

I shared this with my friend and we were able to have a proper conversation about the way she’s been avoiding meeting up and posting photos and avoiding mirrors, it’s helped so much, thank you

[AaronM-ji]

Jem, thank you so much for your speech. I have witnessed several persons harm themselves indirectly using beauty products or other medications in attempts to fix what they think is a flaw in their body. As someone looking on the outside and who has had body image issues in the past, it saddens me so much when I witness the harm this disorder can cause. I appreciate your story and coming out to tell us something which takes so much courage to speak. Thank you.

[muratozer]

That’s a great speech. I really appreciate you are talking about this topic in front of the audience. People should know more about it.

[rmysgms]

Wow I didn’t realise this was so common, am really pleased you are raising awareness, is so topical right now with all the social media filters and influencers

[aydncolak]

I really like your speech you’re totally right every time I think my friend had the same problem and I will show this speech to her

[halilaysu]

I'm glad that these topics are being discussed

[ezelberatkaratay]

Thanks to your speech I’m getting back my confidence. you really inspired me a lot.

[ozandinc]

Love it, I’m going to nominate you to our health magazine as a guest contributor as this is such an important topic

[denizderyatv]

I can totally relate, thank you so much

[erdemssfan]

Brilliant speech, do you offer private therapy or group therapy classes? Where can I find out more?

[Giyuuwq-]

Why do people judge according to our appearance? I think everyone already know that the beauty is inside.

Hilarious! A bird lecturing others on accepting your own physicality, yet clearly has gone in for cosmetic 'enhancements'. Ooh the hypocrisy!

I recall some time ago taking you out for your tea, possibly Haworth, I can't quite remember. However I do remember you probing me on my financial standing. And when my answers weren't to your satisfaction you rolled your eyes and muttered to yourself 'why can't I just meet a guy who's got money..'
Yup, typical bird.
