I dont think i have bdd but i do have a huge insecurity with my hair.......any mirror, reflective surface.....puddle lol will look and judge my hair, it never looks right, i guess i should just accept it. 20 mins of trying to get it to look right in the mirror and no joy, end up losing my temper! suprised i havent broken the mirror.....Ha. Its worst at work (have to wear a stupid hat, which messes up my hair even more) at lunch or end of the day i have to pretend to go to the toilet and check in the mirror to make sure it doesnt look extra retarded lol pretty funny really.
Anyways i think its just an insucurity of mine and is probably common, although i do hate it when people notice i stare in each mirror and think its due to vanity, i will promptly explain my hair looks shit lol. Being a red head probably doesnt help either.......but i see other red heads with decent looking hair so i dunno
I know of an active forum, but it's mostly for good looking girls that pretend to have BDD so people can tell them how pretty they are.
I also wanted to mention something about pictures. For some reason, when I take pictures up close, my face looks distorted and nothing like it looks in the mirror. I can't tell if my face is really that ugly or if it's just the camera cause I look normal from 4-5 feet or more.
My parents just tell me I'm crazy when I insist that I look different. Thanks mom and dad, that's a huge help.
I never look the same from day to day. I swear my face changes, but no one else sees it. It's horrible because I don't know what I truly look like.
It makes it worse when I see different reactions in people too, depending on how I think I look. One day I'll have a lot of people telling me how pretty I am, and then the next I feel invisible, and no one even looks at me.

I also have the same issue with pictures looking different from what I do see in the mirror.

Actually, it's been seen in studies that people with BDD are usually quite attractive.

I used to think that I had BDD. Then I realized was ugly and just using BDD as an excuse.
