Oh my, quite sad tbh D:

relatable tbh

SamCam photo bombing this article

He lost all that in one day? :suspect:

Mobiles aren't the problem, but the vain attitude.

he's cute. he looks a bit australian.

more selfies plzzz.

Can't believe he kept going for 200 photos, I'd have given up by about 5 :laugh:

perfectly understandable

He was on Daybreak ITV1HD

He had a mental problem
and is now better

He's gorgeous.

quite amazed how it's only been the last year selfies have been a big deal when they've been around for years and years and years

seriously, i was taking selfies with a polaroid in the 90's.

he reminds me of this guy from World's Strictest Parents (i used to love this show, they should bring it back)

I wonder what the diagnosis was?

Erm..will be honest and say when I heard about this my first thoughts were along the lines of what a vain ****ing attention seeking idiot

But I realise now he must have mental issues. Should be being treated, not spread all over the papers...

The first bit was my reaction too until I read your post and now I'm feeling second bit :laugh:. Hope he's okay.

wow, he's got me beat. is that the kind of camera where you had to hold perfectly still for 10 seconds? lol

..he's a really good looking young guy but that's obviously not what he sees with his disorder...very sad but commendable that he's helping others...

I hope he got it on camera.

He wants it in the Press

He was was on TV yesterday morning
and is better now
he is trying to help others that do the same kind of thing
it was a mental problem
now he is older and wiser.

That's the sort of behaviour a person with BDD might go through. Very few get help though because as evidenced on here, the immediate thought of people is 'oh that person is vain'.

..I read that's what he has and is talking about it all to help others with the same disorder...

Good on him. It affects up to 2% of the population and most suffer in silence for fear of being disregarded as vain and pathetic. I'm on one of the most incapacitated spectrums of this disorder, I sympathise with this lad greatly and I'm glad he's put his head above the parapet.

..I agree with you, it's commendable that he's trying to help others and in doing that, laying himself open to personal criticism and scrutiny which does happen..it's always sad to see people unable/incapable of seeing what others see when they look in the mirror and must be an awful disorder to function with...
