I think I might have Body dysmorphic disorder for a couple of years now I've been fixated on different parts of my body at first it was my ass I thought it was too big for a guy. I would avoid swimming at school or wearing tight clothing I would stand near the mirror side on when I had the chance. After that it was my hair colour (ginger/brown). I think the teasing didn't help much but I ended up dying my hair dark black and did that for a few months until I just completely shaved all my hair off... then after that I became obsessed with my recessed chin.. so much that I took plenty of photos/videos of my profile at this point in time I was wearing hoodies in the summer, comparing my profile with others, avoid socialising, never going into a shop etc... that all continued for a couple of years. I have just recently gotten plastic surgery to move the chin bone forward giving my chin more projection but hasn't make me feel much better at all. As I have finished high school I have absolutely no friends in my age group as I'm always avoiding socialising and have no motivation. I still hate my chin when my jaw is resting in the natural position so now I'm consciously moving my lower jaw forward to move the chin forward more.. I've also recently started squinting / frowning to camoflauge my "big" eyes. I'm now taking anywhere from 20-60 photos/videos a day of my face. I'm now fixated on my skull shape and the asymmetry of my face.
