I suspect most people are content when their bodies are free from sickness and injury and they can use them for whatever they want or need. Social media seems to foster a hyper-obsession with the body, but I still think yours is the majority opinion. Maybe not?
I believe it is. I mean, the fact that most people want to be "pain-free" (if nothing else) is part of the reason we've got an opioid epidemic (the addictive quality of the drugs and their over-prescribing is another). For normies, it seems, these fantastic bodies are just the stuff of fiction or (for older normies) grocery-store tabloids. No frame of reference at all
For example, you've been training systematically, using a text, and gotten in better shape, so already your understanding of your body in terms of function is far in excess of the normie's connection to the same. And that's not even getting into questions of vanity, etc. which are raised by appearing on vast numbers of screens, which you don't.
Makes sense. Age is a factor, too. I'm 43, and I didn't even use social media until I was 28. My nephews, on the other hand, have been using it all their lives.

Yes, I think that would have made a lot of this easier for people to understand.
