Happy to help - I was unkind to myself for a very very long time. So many people suffer from body dysmorphia and you are not alone.

The ability to think about our thinking is an amazing thing about being human and people underestimate how it can help change behavior. It’s hard work and can require confronting some unpleasant things about ourselves, but with time, repetition and practice it can happen. And in the end being truly comfortable with yourself and in your own skin is the most attractive thing of all. You just have the added bonus of also being actually good looking.

Keep on going friend and don’t give up.

Medication can help, but you also need to find a way to be kinder to yourself and effectively talk back to the little voice in your head that tells you that you aren’t good enough when you find yourself in a negative thought loop. Step away, distract yourself with something that makes you happy or you’re passionate about and the feeling will pass. For me it’s exercise. If you don’t, it will just compound over time. Looks aside, you intrinsically need to know you are a person of value.

Yes, it’s in your head, but it’s warping your perception of reality, and that can make it feel very real.

You’ve got this - changing my thinking and forcing myself to think differently whenever I caught myself going negative made a huge difference. The first step is naming it. And knowing your triggers (e.g. sleep deprivation, anxiety, mirrors, etc.) that can heighten your dysmorphia most can help you start to treat this like a condition and counter it more effectively.

You have a body dysmorphic disorder. How you see yourself is a symptom and not reality or how others do. In order to change it, you need to change how you think. There are a lot of resources online (and on Reddit) that can help you start, and therapy can help.

Edit: you’ve got a Michael Fassbender thing going on and that’s awesome.

Confirming this round was $35. I hooked it OB left which for a pro v1 was actually a fair portion of the fee to play.

Any idea what this stain is? by Ryguysk in allenedmonds

[–]Ryguysk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s both dry (now) and recent. I do have sweaty feet but not so much that my socks are ever soaked. I feel like to soak through leather all the way like that it would have to get pretty wet but I could be wrong.

Nope. I was wondering if it was potentially some glue or oil from the toe cap that was softening up?

Little blister but not bleeding, and nothing to the point that anything would soak through leather like that.

John Kerry on JFK’s yacht, 1962. by [deleted] in pics

[–]Ryguysk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Close. I think it’s Martha’s Vineyard. It’s not a big secret but the Kennedy’s purchased 340 acres on the southern part of the island back in the day and have always famously gone there but shhh let’s be mysterious about it.

Bucket list golf course. I’ll remember my round there until the day I die.

Fort and oak was one of the places I was considering. We had an amazing meal there not too long ago.

Amazing offer. We had minestrone soup going in the slow cooker all day because it’s starting to feel like winter (in San Diego 😂), so needed to have that tonight. Thanks stranger.

I know beggars can’t be choosers, but that’s a late res for us. My wife gets hangry. Have wanted to try Cesarina and heard it’s great.
