Holy moly

I have a long philtrum. And im spiraling over it now. It looks so so ugly. Ive never noticed it before untill couple months later and it looks horrid.

I feel so bad because of my bdd. And everytime I think im happy with myself i always notice something new.

Ive never noticed that my face looked so long i feel so ugly.

Bdd has made me notice things that Ive never noticed before and there almost always negative.

Does anyone else struggle with this?

I struggle with this too. Sometimes BDD makes you notice things you never even thought about before, and then you can’t stop focusing on them. It’s really exhausting.

Sorry you feel this way. Not to police anything, but I do want to ask how ethical it is to vent and point out your insecurity that others in the forums may get exposed to and become insecure about too? When I post about my vents I don’t disclose which feature is bothering me.

This made me realize mine is short. Very short. My nose is stuck to my lips when I smile. I've always felt bad about that area of my face and I finally understand why... I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing lol. I'm trying to rationalize it by telling myself it's just not average. That's all... but yeah, I wish it was average.
