The paradox is that on a societal level, ignoring this problem that plagues many isn't a good approach, but on an individual level, ignoring it/not obsessing about it is probably the thing that helps most.

This is a great way to put it. Because nobody talks about the discomfort so many young people have in their bodies, they feel abnormal, which I think is why a lot of them end up obsessing over it or taking it to extremes once they find others who suffer the same way
