    It can only be what it is. That is no choice.

    But you can choose how you feel about it.

          1. most human stuff is “not myself”

          2. things aren’t not-gross just because they came out of you

          But this isn’t about what you find disgusting about your body specifically, but about the human body in general. Things you don’t really think about until someone mentions them. Like how there’s probably tiny bugs living on you right now.

            Well, there’s even hundreds of different kinds of bacteries living in your intestines, and you need them. You could not live without them. You could say they are part of you. It just makes no sense to find them disgusting.

              There’s a lot of things people find disgusting for no rational reason. That’s also part of being human. People don’t have full control over their emotions.
