Don't mean to sound shallow or anything but would feelings of being very unattractive (on your or partner's side) be a slight barrier?

A slightly more extreme case would be if one had BBD so an incredibly distorted view of how they look, so might especially feel they're not in the partner's league or something. Last edited by Redway; 26-12-2013 at 07:47 PM. |

...hmm, yeah, I think that could be a problem in that it would perhaps be very difficult to persuade them of the things that you liked about them/their good qualities or their physically attractive qualities..so that would maybe hinder the relationship from going forward because you would be stuck in that place of trying to persuade them of seeing in themselves what you see in them...I think for me, 'feeling lovely/beautiful' is knowing and believing that your partner believes you are, it's not so much that you are but that you see yourself through their eyes ...and it would be very frustrating to not be able to make someone feel that...lol, does that make any sense..?.. |

I am not really aware of BDD, what actually is it? You feel ugly and worthless or deeper than that? I hope I'm not being rude, I've just never really read much about it

I've seen many cases where the guy wasn't as attractive as the girl and he knew it and he felt very lucky to have her as girlfriend so he just got very possessive and wouldn't let her go out with her mates and wear short skirts etc. All these relationships ended because of it or also because of it.

Some people with BDD can see horrible images of themselves in the mirror that other people can't even see. It's like funhouse mirrors meets Groundhog Day meets the elephant man film. Last edited by Kyle; 26-12-2013 at 08:05 PM. |

Here's a quote from the NHS website:
'Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is an anxiety disorder that causes sufferers to spend a lot of time worrying about their appearance and to have a distorted view of how they look. For example, they may be convinced that a barely visible scar is a major flaw that everyone is staring at, or that their nose looks abnormal. Having BDD does not mean the person is vain or self-obsessed. When does low confidence turn into BDD? Almost everyone feels unhappy about the way they look at some point in their life, but these thoughts usually come and go and can be forgotten. However, for someone with BDD, the thought of a flaw is very distressing and does not go away. The person believes they are ugly or defective and that others perceive them in this way, despite reassurances from others about their appearance. BDD can lead to depression and even thoughts of suicide.'

Similar to anorexics who truly see themselves as fat when they look in the mirror. False and negative self image.

The treatment you're having for it now, will you be kinda cured of it by the end, or will it be something you'll always struggle with?

For anyone reading who thinks they have BDD (1-2% of the population according to some estimates) then it's definitely advisable to see your GP and get yourself in treatment cos it can get worse over time and it has one of the highest suicide rates going. |
