Hi @EnricoPiem,
Thank you for starting another very thought-provoking discussion. It's interesting to consider how our physical characteristics, like somatotypes, might influence our psychology and how society's focus on appearance affects our mental well-being. Social media has indeed changed our perceptions and the way we judge each other quite a lot these days, and it is important to remember that while our physical traits have some role, who we are inside matters just as much.
It seems some of our members might have missed this discussion, so I’d like to invite everyone to weigh in and share their thoughts.

Do you believe our physical characteristics can shape our psychology? How do you think societal judgments based on appearance impact our mental health?
Your insights and experiences are invaluable to our community. Please join the conversation and let’s support each other in exploring these ideas.
Take care,
Somya from the Carenity Team 🌼

I was diagnosed with postnatal depression in November 2002 when my daughter about 2 months old. It developed in clinical depression during and after I lost the fight to stop my daughter, who is 21 years old now from being forcibly adopted.
I still suffer with depression now, but I went "downhill" so to speak after I'd found out that my late dad had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer due to smoking cigarettes. What made worse tho is that myself and my fiancé couldn't come and visit my family due to an old work coach of my fiancé's agreeing on something with my fiancé and then changing it after my fiancé had left the job centre when we lived in the North East of England.
My fiancé had only found out that his old work coach had changed something on his agreement when he got home and was going through his commitments before signing them.
My late nanna who is my late dad's late mum came for my daddy in early March 2019.
My nanna passed away when I was still in primary school.
Myself and my fiancé were able to attend my dad's service (I don't like the other word, so I say it's when we said night night to my daddy) and move back to the North West of England thanks to the help from my youngest sister and a friend.
I'm a nanna's and daddy's girl and I ways will be.

Living with anxiety and other mental illnesses
Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

I think that the somatotype greatly influences the psychology of an individual, an ectomorph is more anxious than other somatotypes, studies have been done on this matter, I also think that it is not wrong to judge by the face, by the look, as if sometimes the eyes tell everything. Society accustoms us to distinguishing and appreciating a beautiful face or a beautiful body, rather than a beautiful soul, with the spread of social media everything has changed meaning, we are judged by appearance, we judge more and more quickly, I believe that the psyche is also resized so I was wondering if it is possible that already from birth, we are in some way programmed to lead a certain life, based on our physical characteristics we can be judged in different ways which then influence our psyche, those who are endomorphic for different reasons than who is ectomorphic, and from there the psychology of the person is built, what do you think?
