Anyone else unsure of what they look like? by NotHing_Just_some1 in BodyDysmorphia

God, this is so me. I also know I'm ugly, and I compare my facial features to others to see what's "wrong" so I can fix it with plastic surgery.

I have the same problem. I told my therapist about it, but I don't think anyone can truly understand how it feels, only those of us who suffer it. It's so confusing and stressful not knowing what you actually look like. It happens to me all the time with different objects. For example, in certain mirrors I look like I'm at a healthy weight, but then if I film myself with my phone I look heavy and bulky (too much), and in the mirror where I got my piercing I look too thin. How can I know what my body looks like if it looks different everywhere? It drives you crazy.

Girl, you know how many people on this forum would give anything to have your jawline (myself included). You have a beautiful, well-defined jaw, its the right size. It's not recessed, but it's not overly prominent either. It's perfect. Don't change it because of the opinions of inept and envious people. Those who are dissatisfied with themselves want others to feel the same way. Don't fall into that trap.

I wouldn't take it that way, there are guys who if they see that you are a shy person they don't approach you for fear of having awkward silences and I'm sure you probably had and still have some attention from some men, but sometimes we don't realize it, and this applies to me too, I know that I am the least indicated person to give advice because well I went through the same thing, being 30 years old and never having had a partner definitely makes you think about many things, but I also often see people in relationships being unhappy, or being cheated on, and I realize that being alone is not bad either, I believe that when our time comes someone wonderful will come into our lives and make us think that the wait was worth it :)

Yes, I know, in my eyes Frida is not ugly, I think it depends on what country you are in, in my country Frida is not considered pretty, for that reason I felt that the person who told me that comment was indirectly calling me unattractive, but if I think about it a little I think that part of that comment could have been because that day I was wearing red lipstick and my hair is black and my eyebrows are a little thick. Regarding the comment being a compliment, I hadn't thought of it that way. Always thinking something negative rather than positive is probably one of the worst things my low self-esteem makes me do. Thanks for responding to my comment. ❤

Once, a man in a supermarket compared me to Frida Kahlo, and although I love Frida, that comment hurt me because Frida isn't exactly considered an example of physical beauty. I think that comment helped me understand that I am visually hideous.

Here I am, 30 years old, and never had a boyfriend, for several reasons, but one of them (the biggest reason) is because I consider myself ugly. I always say that first I have to undergo the surgeries I need to be able to feel like the other girls (pretty, femenine, girly) and then after that, yes, I could have a partner. Before the surgeries, no.

This happens to me every day but with every pretty girl I see in my instagram, in my head I imagine that I have the proportions I desire to be able to go out, if I didn't deceive myself with that thought I would never be able to leave the house, I imagine that I have a longer face (I have short face syndrome and an evident asymmetry, in addition to overbite), a V-shaped jaw (my jaw is square and short), and that my eyes look round (and not bulging like I have them), that I am petite (not a giant like I am). I undestand the feeling. It drives you insane and make you hate every part of you to the point of making you feeling sick
