my brother was in a psych ward with a guy who had no hands or face. i can't remember if they couldn't fix his face or if he just didn't have the money.

I never said it was the most prevalent  :hmm:

Though it is a common mental illness or disorder BDD does affect a lot of people and often does stem from Depression, or vice versa depression can stem from the disorder. Like many illnesses a base can be depression itself. Many people have to seek therapy in order to correctly diagnose the reasons for having the disorder.

And yes like above you can also have OCD which causes you to inadvertanly choose to do things or feel certain ways about things without wanting to... I have heard of that. Seen a special about it on Discovery actually last month.

how about BDD is bullshit and people have an inherent desire to look and feel perfect, of course to what degree is the variant. but I can assure you that every single person on the face of the earth has their own personal imperfections which they wish they could change in some way or another. Some people just actually go through with it. And others learn to live with it, yet still there are those that choose to accept it, but they still don't like that about themselves no matter how much they shit you.

I have an large build and broad shoulders, but I have no muscle mass due to my personal disposition (nerd) and resulting lifestyle.

I've thought about working out since I have a good body for that sort of thing, but I'm afraid it might result in people seeing me work out and assume it's because I am homophobic.
