(Inb4 u can still b ugly and have bdd)
**The task:**
**Answer the following questions with either Never, Rarely, Often or Very often.**
- I feel very dissatisfied with one or more aspects of my appearance
- I have difficulty concentrating on things other than how I look
- I use words like ugly, defective, unattractive, or horrible to describe my appearance
- I check my appearance in the mirror or other reflective surfaces or I avoid mirrors or reflective surfaces because of the way I look
- I use cosmetics, clothing or other means to camouflage aspects of my appearance
- I hold my body in certain positions to hide aspects of my appearance
- I ask others whether I look okay or I try to convince them how bad I look
- I have trouble believing people when they say I look fine
- I compare myself to others and think that I look worse than them
- I spend time researching ways to fix my appearance
- I spend time trying to improve the look of the body part I dislike (e.g., by picking my skin, getting cosmetic treatments, grooming)
- I contemplate cosmetic surgery
- I avoid socialising because of how I look
- I avoid intimate relationships because of how I look
- The way I feel about my appearance prevents me from doing things I would like to do
If you have answered most of the above questions with Often or Very Often, then BDD might be something you suffer from. BDD can be experienced from mild to severe levels, so even if you have only answered Often or Very Often for a few of the above statements, it could still be beneficial to address these issues.
