dude with body dys[m]orphia issues... (crosspost from r/amiugly

here we go. first post. people think i'm crazy. i've been to a psychiatrist since 2001. it's been a looooong road.

let me explain. due to unclear reasons, i am completely unable to look in the mirror. i have never met another guy with this problem, but have made many female friends who know exactly what i'm talking about...

if i catch even a slight reflection of myself, i'm wrecked for days. i see something monsterous. and feel like my skin is crawling and that i'm covered in shit. i change my clothes as soon as i can and donate the entire outfit to the poor.

you can imagine the problems this causes.

so i take photos when i feel "okay" and look at them to remind myself "this is what people see.

i'm not joking or trolling. this is as serious as days and days of depression

just hope no one in meatworld connects me to my reddit account...
