Do you suffer from body dysmorphia?

[Anonymous]

I suffered from body dysmorphia all my life. Some days, I think I look good, but then most of the time I look at my flaws and start being upset. Like I have good muscle development now from going to the gym so much, but I always think my abs aren’t as developed as I want it to be. Or my shoulders look smaller than my arms. Stuff like that makes me hate myself. Or then I get told that I’m hot by some women, and I get a boost in confidence. But then my insecurities get the best of me, and I get some women that don’t find me attractive online. And then I start thinking I’m ugly. I know not every girl is gonna find you attractive, but it hurts to be rejected. Do you deal with these kind of things?

Yes, I do deal with body dysmorphia and insecurities about my appearance, just like many other people. It's normal to experience fluctuations in confidence and self-esteem, and to have days when you feel good about yourself, and other days when you feel less confident. As humans, we're wired to seek external validation and praise, so it's natural to feel disappointed or upset when someone doesn't find us attractive or doesn't give us the attention we want. However, it's important to remember that beauty is subjective and everyone has their own preferences. Just as you can't please everyone, not everyone is going to find you attractive.

Yes I know the feeling. I’ve suffered with it and had anorexia and bulimia when I was in my teens up until I was 21. I am currently into body building and fitness and honestly , it has helped me figure out my body a bit more because I now have a set plan as to what is happening to my body and how I can adjust my body. I’ve heard it works for a lot of people with body dysmorphia

I'm very attractive and it's gotten me absolutely nowhere. In life or with women.
Don't worry so much about your looks.
Literally no one give a shit but you

Even as a woman you get rejected. If it does not fit then it is better than wasting time. Better to be honest than endlessly tormenting. No one likes to be rejected but you can't always be successful in life. You also learn that you don't always succeed. You have to learn to deal with it. It is part of life

Yep. Society's standards on how people are supposed to look just worsens my dysmorphia.

Yes, almost my whole life, just like you 🥲 It sucks.

It's hard, I've often been misunderstood and even accussed of lying. People refuse to believe I feel this way when I get so many compliments and so much attention. I've heard it's fake modesty 🥲

I believe I do. Not diagnosed tho but I've experienced and still do the same as you mentioned.
