Somatization: internal ugliness can lead to ugly on the outside

Somatization: internal ugliness can lead to ugly on the outside.

 The idea that someone's inner ugliness can manifest as physical ugliness on the outside is an example of a defense mechanism known as "somatization."

 Somatization is a neurotic defense mechanism where emotional or psychological distress is converted into physical symptoms or characteristics.

Somatization can serve as a way for individuals to externalize or express their internal conflicts. By projecting their inner struggles onto their physical appearance, it allows them to create a tangible representation of their emotional distress.
