i struggle with liking my body, dysmorphia, dysphoria, you name it, but i think what i've found to help me is disregarding what others think, and also asserting control over it. in part thats how i dress but a big one for me is tattoos, the more perminant change to my body asserting that it is mine and i can choose how it is. i may have been forced into my body, but that doesn't mean i can't make it mine.
to echo what others have said, you are not alone in these feelings, i often tell my theripast how i wish my body was more maluable, a changeling, a swarm of nanobots, anything non static. changing my body helps but yeah if i could choose i'd choose a conciousness in the void rather then a form. but alas i can't, so tattoos and other body modifications it is!
Being a physical form is very exhausting sometimes and I'm glad I'm not the only one. I also made a master reply thats longer on the og post for everyone who commented to read too if youre interested
