In the comments on this article, some were expressing sympathy for this person who spent $45K on her face and body, pointing out that this is the result of an affliction called Dysmorphic Disorder.

To that I say this:

I have been close to people with a variety of disorders. All of them, including substance abuse, are the result of a series of choices -- bad ones. What they all have in common is people deciding that how they feel right now is more important than anything else, including their own families, friends -- and even their own health and economic security.

Anyone who would dare to confront the particular disorder is typically met with fury -- because they cannot separate their own identities from the demons they serve as they obey their "feelings" above all else. They judge loyalties based upon the disorder. Those who enable them are friends. Those who try to stop them are enemies.

Hence what people with disorders also have in common is that those around them suffer the most -- and the more a particular family member cares about the afflicted one, the more they suffer. It is no coincidence that the one who actually cares the most is the one who is most hated. The afflicted one is meanwhile anesthetized and/or in denial and therefore does not suffer until they're close to death.

So our sympathy for someone who spends as much as it would take to feed an entire African village for a year on their face and body should be tempered at least somewhat.

“People look at me in the street and men absolutely adore me.”

No, they are looking at a carnival sideshow freak.

Sorry, just don’t get it? The old look was fine, the new is bizarre. Can’t see how any sane male would be attracted to her now.

Her money, her body, her choice.

She looked better to me beforehand, but I don't get a 'vote'.

All I can say is, Ladies, before you go changing what the Almighty gave you, please think very carefully.

The plastic surgeon who did this should lose his license to practice. This is willful disfigurement.

“...her goal was to look like a “bimbo doll.”

Mission accomplished.

That’s well said, and applicable to a “wide variety of disorders” as you so stated.

Thus illustrating one of the primary differences between leftists and normal people.

Nice lip job. Is she planning on attaching herself to a ship’s hull?
