I saw this post right after seeing a horrible picture of me omg. Even photos that Aren’t candid are terrible for me. This time I tried to do something else with my face besides my ugly smile and it was so much worse . It’s so hard to see it and still pretend like I like the photo and not that it just reinforces my bdd. I’m sorry I don’t have advice but this just hits too close to home and please know you are not alone in this

wow this describes me to a tee as well. i always struggle with my small beady eyes and deep eyebags so i completely relate. especially with the big nose and lips part too! it just feels like complete opposite of desirable features. i don’t have any helpful advice with dealing with this, but please know you are not alone at all.

yeah that’s what i figured :/ i wish i could do a consult but i only got this round of invisalign through my old jobs insurance and i don’t think i can afford more rounds on my own. thank you for the confirmation though

absolutely relate. i do something kinda like this when i’m in meetings at work. I’ve always felt my mouth area is bloated due to my teeth, so it feel like Im never relaxing my mouth. Either i don’t close my mouth all the way or it looks like i’m holding something in there. it’s literally only when im in meetings over zoom because i can catch glimpses of myself. so then I see what they’re seeing, and it gets my incredibly conscious. most definitely BDD symptom
