is it normal that I'm extremely uncomfortable with my physical appearance? I do have a boyfriend, but my insecurities have been around since forever. I'm sometimes even scared to look in the mirror and try to avoid the mirror as much as possible. Whenever I'm undressing in the bathroom I have to turn around so I don't have to see my horrendous body along with my hideous face. My friends say I am pretty, but I have a very big feeling that they're just saying that because they feel bad. I self-harm because of my looks and I was wondering if this is normal? Does everyone go through this? Please help.

    You mentioned you have a boyfriend so you can't be THAT ugly. Who are you comparing yourself to? Hollywood goddesses? They are mostly fake but you are real. Stop being so hard on yourself.

    You probably have body dysmorphic disorder.

      Almost everyone suffers from this problem in their 20s but it doesn't mean that they have dysmorphic disorder.

        True, but OP sounds as if she's on the extreme end of the spectrum.

    Your story actually sounds just like my girlfriend, and she suffers from body dysmorphic disorder.

    On that note I know how difficult it is to truly hate every aspect about your own appearance. You just need to try and realise that you think of yourself that way but others disagree.

    It might also help to focus on the good things about your personality. Are you a good person? Are you smart? Stuff like that.
