To what extent is feeling ugly just body dysmporphia vs actual valid flaws?

[AGARTHANMOGGER]

Sometimes I can point out clear flaws in my face and other times it feels like I just hate my face regardless of weather or not I'm actually ugly.

So I'm curious when the line is drawn between valid self criticism and mental issue?

I know this may be a retarded question but I'm just curious what others may think on this.

When it becomes an obsession. When it's all you think about and dream about

Ask a few people about a feature you don't like. If they notice it it's probably valid, if not most likely you're probably just shitting on yourself too much.

I've been asked by numerous people across different age groups and places if I'm a model but I still find flaws to worry about. Is this just self hatred or mental issue atp?

did you ascend?

did you ascend?

I can fs say I have. I've had countless social confirmations in everyday life that I look better than when I used to be clueless on bp/face aesthetics.

Probably just post ascension inhib do you know if you nd

Ngl I think abt it time to time and I do think I'm somewhat ND at least just in my thought patterns/process but anywhere else/socially I'm pretty NT

yeah prob just inhib from ascending. I found that being less judgmental to others (joking abt appearance, analyzing their face, etc) reduced my inhib a lot. I don't think you have anything mentally wrong other than some social anxiety from being in the comm.
