How do you know if you have Body Dysmorphic Disorder?

or if your truly ugly?

[TJM27]

If you upload a pitcure I'll give you my honest opinion but I don't know how to tell if you have BDD without seeing how you look in comparison to how you think you look

truly ugly is not a medical condition
dysmorphic disorder is not normal
you can tell , it's very evident

[Asker]

I can't tell though maybe im ugly, maybe i think im uglier than i am, maybe its worse than i think... i have no idea.

When it interferes with your life. Spending hours a day in front of the mirror obsessing. Not going out into public.

Looking into every reflective surface you pass because you're obsessing so much. Like windows, mirrors, TV and computer screens.

[Asker]

k i guess i do that... a lot... eek

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah I will sit in the mirror for hours crying and having anxiety attacks. Taking pictures and videos of all angles of your face... People can be ugly or not but with BDD it's that you obsess so much. And you feel you look like a complete monster. It blows.

To add, your perceived ugliness effects everything. Like you believe you don't get that Jon because you are ugly, or you believe that little kid thinks you ugly. Every negative thing that happens to everyone is perceived by you as due to your ugliness.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes! True! And that every time a person looks at you they're thinking you're ugly. Or whenever people around you are talking to each other they must be talking about how ugly you are
