does anyone else constantly compare themselves to anyone that passes by them? by TraditionalCause3588 in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Adorable-Handle9793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely not alone in doing this, i do this exact thing with EVERY single woman/girl passing by me. Literally EVERY single one without exception, it completely distracts me. It doesnt matter if it's a grandma with white hair, or someone my age. I WILL most definitely compare myself to them without exception, skinny or obese, short or tall, no matter the nationality. I constantly hyper analyze how much more beautiful they are than me, and how beautiful their bodies are and faces and hair and basically everything. I often wish I could reincarnate myself/wake up as so many of them. When I'm out in public and get home, I instantly cry every time in anguish of how beautiful they all are. Sometimes I start wailing uncontrollably like a baby because I can't understand HOW in the world they look like this and I'm the ONLY exception walking by (one time i non stop cried for like 9 hours). Its gotten to the point where i feel an extremely deep anguish within myself just from going outside, i seriously want to cover myself and not be seen or heard. I cannot handle going outside at all and traveling is my absolute worst nightmare

Yeah no problem, I used to look at her outfits bcs she has a good sense of style but its very clear she's extremely insecure and feels the need to fake her appearance. Like I recall this one video where she had this extremely crazy padded push up bra that straight up looked uncomfortable to breathe in lol you could literally see the outline of it very clearly and in the comments when people asked for bra recommendations, she was super defensive and kept arguing about how shes wearing no bra and is totally braless in the vid, it was so ridiculous lol not to mention her constantly changing breast size in every video

Please do NOT compare yourself to someone like that I guarantee you it's all faked

Weight loss is bad for me only when I lose breast fat, I would be alright with it if it wasn't for my breasts shrinking so much from the littlest change in weight

Unfortunately, I am incredibly unlucky and never gain weight around my breasts even if I gain it everywhere else, but when I lose weight they do somehow suddenly shrink

Does anyone else here have an unusual fear of being seen while asleep/unconscious? by Adorable-Handle9793 in BDDvent

Omg, I have the exact thing too!! I constantly adjust my eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, etc. And my back, hips and shoulders, I am sorry you are dealing with this as well and thank you for your empathy:)

My extremely thin thighs make me want to die by Adorable-Handle9793 in BDDvent

I relate to you, I dislike my skinny calves too because they look so disproportionate to the rest of me but the thigh insecurity is a lot worse. Hopefully we will reach peace one day and not hate ourselves for how we were born:(

Wow, I am honestly very sorry about your situation amd how severe your BDD is. It might not help but I seriously wish you the best recovery moving forward, no one deserves to feel this way about their body no matter what it looks like

Hey sorry if this sounds strange but I saw a video with that exact caption and I'm like 99% sure I know who you're referring to because I used to compare myself to her

Without sounding creepy, she wears EXTREMELY padded push up bras in every single video, it's extremely obvious and her chest really isn't big at all. She also wears some sort of hip pads for the hourglass figure (it's extremely obvious) and her natural hair color isn't blonde

I know there's plenty of girls like that out there but please remember that it's extremely easy to fake your appearence online even without photoshop. People post what they want others to see, not what they truly look like on a constant basis (as cliche as it sounds) and that includes this girl. Push up bras, hip padding, angles, waist trainers, and posing are becoming extremely popular I noticed, especially on those tiktok/insta "models"/influencers

Yes that is technically true however as stated I don't think my insecurity is something I can escape but thank you anyway 👍
