Well, the importance we attach to appearance is actually based on psychological factors. Is it an external

expression of our problems?

Dedication to appearance begins to affect our functionality in the flow of our lives

There is a problem, he deciphers the psychology of looking beautiful.

The fact that eye contact is the beginning of relationships and people's closeness to each other is one of the most important factors that increase the importance of appearance. This situation, also called the "Halo Effect", causes a prejudice to be formed about a person's positive or negative characteristics, and all other characteristics are evaluated within the same framework. According to this; It is possible to think that people who look nice also have nice thoughts, that is, they are good people. There is a tendency to believe that those with good physical appearance are often successful in other areas of life. “Many studies have supported that the fact that people are influenced by what they see is also related to the human biological structure.

A study conducted by the University of California proved that the sense of sight has an 85% importance in people's decisions. It is said that first impressions are people's image in each other's mind. When people are not together, they make their decisions about each other based on the images in their minds. In short;

Our images mean our identity. When people are not together, they make decisions about each other based on the images in their minds. Briefly; Our images mean our identity. If this dedication to appearance starts to affect our functionality in the course of our lives, there is a problem. It may not be possible not to encounter various psychiatric and psychological problems

un interest from time to time; It may trigger diseases such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa eating disorder. Both conditions are disorders that involve an effort to appear slim. Although anorexia is more common in women, who are very afraid of gaining weight, weigh themselves frequently, and try to lose weight by going on very strict diets, this disease has also become common among men.

Sometimes existing personality traits can cause people to be overly careful about their appearance. The main characteristic of histrionic individuals is that these people are excessively emotional and seek attention in almost every field. They constantly use their physical appearance to attract attention. They wear colorful, eye-catching clothes with very revealing cleavage or slits. They always take care to be well-groomed, they always walk around with their hair done, they wear big shiny accessories and colorful and eye-catching make-up. They spend a significant part of the day concerned with their physical appearance and care. If histrionic personality traits disrupt the person's functionality, then we can say that there is a personality disorder.

Bipolar disorder, that is, a depressed and exuberant mood

In the type of disease that progresses with the emergence of moods in certain periods, especially

in the period when the manic mood is dominant, the interest in appearance increases. In women, heavy make-up and extremely provocative clothes begin to be preferred. Even a person who normally attaches importance to keeping his clothing covered tends to ignore this feature during this disease period and become completely attention-seeking. The situation is also very similar for men. They are not different, they prefer to dress in a way that is much different from their usual style

and more original than everyone else has the courage to wear

. "When the manic episode ends, many of his old features return," he said. .

 

Not all people who dress extravagantly or who take care of their self-care periodically have a psychiatric condition. Humans are dynamic beings, we live in a life where there are constant changes, it is likely that there will be an increase in self-care in situations such as going to a job interview, falling in love, etc. in a developing life stage
