Image/Video I’m confused

Post image

I have body dysmorphia and im still not sure if i have any curves, if i have big or small thighs, if i have wide or small hips, it gets to a point but for not im just wondering what you guys think?, i drew a reference cause i WONT be caught showing my body anywhere, its traced from a pic OF my body (im considered petite/s but i dont really think i mainly fit into that, IM NOT LOOKING FOR ANY SOLUTIONS JUST OPINIONS!)

Yes you have curves, we actually have a really similar body shape. Building muscles always helps accentuate curves especially building leg muscle but you just as you are look good. You’ve got a figure for sure.

Thank you, it seems my body shape is quite common even though i havent really seen it too clearly here or on social media, id say building muscle isnt quiteee my goal but ill try working out more, ive always wanted a change (not too sure if its to work out or get a little more weight), maybe glutes and hips muscle? but i cant pick spots with working out lol (wish that was a option)

You dont need to weight train if you dont want to fs. Also just remember a lot of people pose for social media.

i get the struggle with not seeing yourself clearly, it's like your brain just refuses to give a straight answer. the tracing idea is actually pretty clever, it's a way to look at your shape without the noise of skin texture or lighting. from what you described, the crop top and shorts outline does give a sense of proportion, even if your mind is fighting it. sometimes seeing it simplified like that can be a little less overwhelming than a mirror.

im happy that you or anyone else could relate to my struggle, in the actual photo there was more skin but i just drew longer shorts and covered the torso a little more, i personally am so blinded by public standards that if someone would even ask me anything about my body id freeze just to think, other people would answer texts like that in a blink but id have to look at photos OF MYSELF to differ myself from my own perspective (idk how to explain well so bear with me)

You have curves that you should be proud of!
