is body dysmorphia real or is it cope?

[xdxdxnice1]

therapist said i have BDD but I’m not fully maxxed and i’m aware of my flaws which i’m going to fix. how is this a disorder? caring about your appearance and wanting to fix it?

It's a real thing but it's over diagnosed

 

[Deleted member 7240]

Probably real but retards like to self-diagnose themselves with to cope pretending that they’re not ugly

BDD = ugly people who are honest

actual gl people thinking theyre ugly is ridiculously rare

quite a lot of people have told me i look good irl and i’ve had sex with high tier girls but i don’t believe i am and on this forum i got rated decently but not really that high. i think i’m ugly though and i can detect all my flaws. i can’t tell if people irl tell me i’m good looking and it’s some blue pill bullshit and the girls slept with me for other reasons apart from how i look. my brain is completely fried

not chad = invisible to women

BDD is mostly cope for ugly people.

Recognising the features that make you subhuman is not the cause of BDD but the obsession with features is. Detach yourself (emotionally) from your looks, judge them objectively and try to find ways to fix them. If you can't, then cope with other distractions.

i am not invisible to women i have 200+ tinder matches . but i’m also philtrumcel, big nose, etc. doesn’t make sense.

 

[xdxdxnice1]

No, you’re right. You may well be good looking and I think that’s the case with me as well but we Wouldn’t be rated as chads. And no not being a chad does not mean it’s over. For example, if Cavill posted here, he’d get shit on for his eye area and that could legitimately make him overthink it. Just a hypothetical scenario.

this is what i think sometimes but not sure if it is just cope. this shit is too confusing

Unless you are starving yourself to turn into a stick or injecting/modifying yourself to look like a freak BDD is cope, being self aware about your flaws isn’t a disorder

Most of the time it's cope
