Lana Condor Admits She Struggled With Her 'Physical Appearance' All Her Life

Lana Condor has opened up about the struggles she had with her physical appearance, noting that she is now working on "positive self-image and self-talk."

"I think right now positive self-image and self-talk is probably one that I'm working on the most," the 25-year-old actress told Wondermind, ET Canada reported Wednesday. "And that's a practice that you kind of have to do every day."

"So, I try to remind myself of that because I can be pretty hard on my physical appearance. That's just something that I've struggled with all my life," she added before noting how body dysmorphia is "heightened in the entertainment industry."

The actress shared that she would look at herself all day long in cameras and monitors, sometimes "super close up and far behind," adding that "you can't really escape yourself — and nor do I want to. But if negative self-talk is alive and well in my brain and I can't escape myself, then I'm miserable."

Condor called herself a "people pleaser" before revealing how she would unwind after a long stressful day. The actress shared she loves to take a bath as it "forces you to relax."

"I do like journaling. I read at night. I do a lot of essential oils," she revealed. "Sometimes I'll go outside and sit with my crystals. And [I] listen to sound baths in the morning and in the night."

The actress also shared some tips to help young people deal with such issues. Condor advised that one should share their feelings with someone that "feels safe for you," so that you "don't bottle it up."

"I bottled it up a lot when I was younger about things that I was going through — and I'm still in it. It took so much time and practice to even 1. identify it, and then 2. to unlearn," she added. "I think that if I had felt more safe in terms of sharing whatever was going on with me at that time, I think that it would've saved me a lot of time. Of course, it's always just a journey. It's an everyday journey, and that's good. That's what a practice is."

On the work front, Condor was last seen in the sci-fi romantic movie "Moonshot," featuring Cole Sprouse. She will be next seen in projects like "Boo, Bitch," "Rilakkuma's Theme Park Adventure" and "Wile E. Coyote."
