Ppl who say they have body dysmorphia & then are constantly bringing up how fat they look & asking others to confirm whether or not they are confuse me bc when I had bad body issues the LAST thing I’d want is to draw any type of attention toward my body

yeah like i know it affects everyone different but a key part of my body dysmorphia is trying to hide it😭 it actually took me years to confess my insecurity to my best friend and to this day her, my mom, and my therapist are the only people i’ve ever told

Idk for me I want to know they opinions of others bc I genuinely can’t tell bc I look different in different mirrors the camera I honestly have no idea how I actually look so I see myself through the eyes of others ig. Maybe even though I’m insecure I still accept my face and don’t want to change it ig I just want comfort to see it’s not as bad as I think it is. But for me it’s not like fatness that bothers me it’s more my face feels very assymetrical and I get insecure

i think that’s really common for insecurities! i wouldn’t say that falls under the body dysmorphia category
