I'm not sure what's wrong with me but I don't really have body dysmorphia, I see myself as it is almost all the time and it makes me feel really invalid. If anything I just see other people as slightly thinner than they are in person instead of seeing myself as bigger. It really bothers me because I know I still think I'm fat but I don't actually see it, I just never think I'm skinny enough even when I think I'm skinny. And it sucks when I'm told it's all just body dysmorphia because I don't have it that much I literally just never feel satisfied or like my body proportions don't go well together instead of seeing myself fat. I don't know how to explain this tho..

body dysmorphia (and mh conditions in general) are more of a spectrum and you shouldn’t feel invalid because your “symptoms” are not the same as most people! i know plenty of ED’d people who do not experience “classic” body dysmorphia (i.e. seeing yourself as obese when you are very thin) and i myself am kind of a weird case. i don’t think i am fat necessarily, i can guesstimate my bmi pretty accurately most of the time, it’s just that i have a specific idea of what “thin” looks like on me, and unless i’m at my lw or under i can’t fathom the idea of being perceived as thin. i’ve never been overweight, i was barely at a healthy weight after forced recovery, it’s just that unless i look stereotypically anorexic i don’t feel thin. don’t worry, it’s pretty common <3
are you around a lot of other disordered folk? I spent almost an entire year in clinics and after that my perception of normal has just been very skewed.
I have body dysmorphoa but never had it with anyone else other than myself. Now I just think most people around me look overweight- including myself. I think it's because I got used to seeing people at a lower weight that that's become the new normal
