So,basically I've been always insecure about my nose because it is wide and crooked. I got people who were recommending me to do surgery and I had comments about nose jon in general. I am kinda afraid to try. I dont know is it worth it or not. Is it really that crooked and wide? I really wanna fix it
So,the title speaks for itself. I never had gf or anyone being interested in me. What should I change in my appearance? It feels so odd that I am a black sheep 😭😭😭
I am so tired of it. I just dont understand how long this road is. I know that everybody here is struggling and I just wanted to say thank you for all the comments and I am glad this sub exists (I can safely say its my second home). Anyway, I am terribly tired and I dont know when it will end. For over 3 years I was struggling with bdd and I thought that it may pass. But it didnt. BDD lead me to depression and even suicidal thoughts that I experienced for a really long time. I have my dreams, I have my goals but this disorder puts me down. I became very antisocial and, you know, really "blackpilled" to the point it changed my view on life. I cant walk the streets without thinking opposite sex (women) find me plain or disgusting.
I just dont understand when will it end. When will I be happy? People telling me I look really sad yet they do not understand how I feel. Its a loop I cant escape. And I have barely anyone to talk to. I dont even have friends in real life.
So here I am, asking all of you: how do you manage to live with BDD? How do you cope with it? How do you find the light in this darkness? This night feels endless to me and I cant escape myself. I really wanna hear you all. Thank you for the comments (:
Basically i used to post myself and looking for honest opinion about my appearance and I used to get a lot of compliments all the time (people were saying I could model and all that stuff)(also I left some photos of me in my profile so you can make own judgement were they lying or not).I couldn't and still cant believe and I used to spiral thinking people were lying to me or even worse...mock me. It got so bad that I cant even recognize myself anymore. I know that you might say something like "yeah, another guy is looking for compliments/validation" and I can see why you would think this way. But i am NOT! I was and still struggle with this disorder for years.
Is there anyone with the same situation as me? Is there anyone who gets compliments and being called conventionally attractive yet still cant believe it and feels like shit? At this point I feel like I am my only enemy.
I have a strong bdd and I cant believe that I actually look like my good photos. I use flash and pose (i am not using flash everytime though). How to know that its actually how you look or you're just making yourself looking 100 times more attractive? I am spiraling right now because when I posted myself i got TONS of compliments and it makes me sick because I feel like a catfish. Does using flash and posing makes you a catfish?
No WAY this is me!!! Its 100% me using good lighting and good angles. In reality I look like SHIT. All my good photos are catfish because I pose, using the lighting and stuff. I just cant believe its actually me, its cant be true! Does anyone experienced the same thing? I am 100% catfish and I cant believe some people telling me I look like that. I am literally spiral right now
I always look fat on photos. Its just terrible. I look bloated yet my weight is normal. I drink 2L+ of water a day, I dont consume too much salt yet everytime I take a picture I look bloated and fat. I feel like I am catfishing with the 3 good photos I got because I dont look bloated on them but, in face, very lean. I am sure I am not the representation of how I look on those 3 photos, I am afraid I am actually THAT bloated looking. Does anyone know is it really my face or just camera distortion?
I never had a gf and I never seen any girl checking me out. I know that its basically means I am cooked 💀 so I really wanna know what should I change about my physical appearance
Its that simple, guys, didnt you understand? But honestly, I really wish people were cautious about the "gentlemen" that lurk around here.
I am a guy and I am 19. I am recording music and stuff and writing poems. I experience some disorders and depressive episodes (just a warning). Anyone who can relate can come to my dms!
I've been to one place yesterday and I was almost the shortest among the guys. Its terrible. I feel so fragile and I dont even feel like a guy. I feel like everyone is laughing at me. When I walk down the street every guy is way taller than me. I am 175 cm tall and i used to think its not that short until I saw that every 14 years old in my country is at least this height but most of the time taller (and I am 19 for context lol). I just dont wanna be seen because I am disgusting to women in real life. But the weirdest part is that I've been told I am really good looking online by a lot of girls but they never seen how actually tall I am. They would feel disgust if they see me. How do you cope with height insecurity? Its only getting worse when I walk down the street and see those giants.
The best photos that I have are total catfish. At least I feel this way. I only got 3 photos and I use them and I cant believe i actually look like that. People tell me I do look like that but I dont see it. Any other photo I take looks awful, its like I cant reach the "perfection" of those 3 catfish photos. My face looks lean on them, nose isn't wide but when I take other photos I look so damn bloated and round and I just wanna kms. I used those good photos online and a lot of girls called me attractive/good looking/handsome yet I cant shake this feeling that I am simply catfishing with those 3 good photos. Does anyone experience the same? I heard its common among people with bdd.
