I know BDD is pretty bad. I know that, but still. People have killed themselves because they’re not like you. Because you WILL pass and they may not. It isn’t fair. It just causes people harm when you’re immensely lucky and say someone with your measurements is doomed. 5’4 or loving parents or good genetics or whatever. It’s potent ropefuel. Then again, I also know what it’s like to have your personal lens distorted. Especially when you’re venting your own frustrations. Sometimes, even repeated confrontation with reality isn’t enough. The beast in our hearts always wants more. It’s a dilemma, but man it sucks.
no but i do think that bdd posters like know in some part of their mind that its not true like i bdd posted and i know in a part of my mind that i pass even if i dont pass well enough for my standards but i avoid saying anything about what i actually look like. the thoughts are their true thoughts but at the same time they know that its not as bad as they say
yeah, that’s how it be. You know it’s true, you know you’re better off than most and still you suffer. the beast is still hungry. it makes me sad.
yeah you have to be considerate of people on here because someone killing themselves is a real possibility unfortch
I also feel bad for the BDD poster. Nobody asked for this existence, even people who pass.

Everyone here deserves kindness. I wish you the best, Sophia. You’re brilliant.
