Do I have body dysmorphia?

[Doggydogwirlx]

I've been dealing with social anxiety for years. I always decline getting my picture taken, if I do, I refuse to look at the picture because I know I will get pissed and sad about how ugly I look. I don't take pictures without makeup and if I do feel like taking a picture, I put on makeup. Even with makeup, I still think I look terrible (when getting picture taken mainly).

I've considered getting plastic surgery but I have moments where I like how I look. I took up becoming a live model for a class in order to see what other people see when they see me in different point of views. I've had moments where i wanted to ask boys if they thought i was ugly, or sending them a selfie to see what they say. I feel annoying asking this artist on Instagram to draw me. I wish I could stop thinking this way.

It sounds like probably. I wouldn't really know unless I'd seen a picture of you, but I do find it's mostly moderately attractive people who are really self-conscious about being ugly rather than really ugly people. And your self-consciousness drives how other people view you as well, people who act like they think they are attractive are viewed as more attractive than someone with the same physical features who act like they think they are ugly.

you're either realllyyy ugly and you know it, or you're ok looking and you have dysmorphia

Probably, not being mean or anything, but it sounds a lot like the definition
