IN TODAY'S SUPER SOUL SHORT FILM
I came in not knowing what I was really coming in for
A FASCINATING EXERCISE FROM THE OH SO CLEVER TEAM AT BUZZFEED.
THEY ASKED PEOPLE TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SHARE THEIR
PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR PHYSICAL TRAITS.
I’m like, do I need to lose weight?
You always want to have better skin, a better body…
I’ve definitely struggled with weight issues
I definitely look at people and think, do I look fat today?
THE SUBJECTS DIDN’T KNOW THERE WERE
STRANGERS ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE MIRROR GAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS AN EYE-OPENING SURPRISE…
I'm kind of self conscious of
my round face especially like my cheekbones here
he's in shape he has nice cheeks
yes really nice cheekbones
I feel like he's the life of the party and I'd gravitate towards him
i think i have donkey legs
that's a great body type I don't know if she realizes how lucky she is
I never really felt like I was manly
I definitely think that he's like masculine
he seems like a cool guy
I've always been self-conscious of my dimples
I really like her smile she is really cute dimples
she's probably a really fun
person when I look in the mirror like do I need to lose weight
I think she's in shape if she's mean to herself
then that's just kind of one of those weird things
Where everybody's harsher on themselves
MUSIC
i think she's pretty
he's got a great beard
she has a great smile
he's like really fit
I like her hair
he doesn't say a lot, but when he does say something it means a lot
that was so crazy
what were you first thought?
yeah wow
I wasn't really expecting that
so no one heard what was going on?
Cool. I feel a lot better now
it is cool to see somebody else's perspective the mirror lies.
when I guess yeah I don't trust the mirror
like people think completely different
than like what you might think of yourself
we all see what's bad about our own
body we don't actually see what's great
I am stuck in my body to like die so
I what good is it going to do if I mean to myself
you're better than who you think you
are and that you're enough just
the way you are so be kinder to yourself
THANK YOU BUZZFEED. SEE YOU NEXT SUNDAY, SUPERSOULERS.
