I’m thinking I may have that. Because I am disgusted by the human body. It makes me not want to date. I have no sex drive. I don’t know whether this is because the people I dated always wanted to be really physical and they were emotionally abusive but that seems to be the reason. They never made me feel pretty or attractive or really anything positive about myself, just used. And at first I thought it was normal because I could see it in other people’s relationships. But now I realize if that’s what a male/ female relationship is then I don’t want one. I don’t want to be with someone that doesn’t respect me. In my own family I have watched my father and uncles be condescending to my mom and my aunts. And you know it seems like women just put up with it. I don’t get it. I don’t want to be with someone that treats me like I’m stupid just because I’m a woman and then expects me to give them a pass everytime they say and do disrespectful crap.

That isn’t body dysmorphia.
Body dysmorphia is when you look in the mirror and see a warped version of yourself; you don’t see what others see. As somebody with body dysmorphia, I often have the impression that my face is bloated or my eyes have changed in appearance even if they haven’t.
I hope that you work through your issues and feel better soon but they have nothing to do with body dysmorphia.
Thank you for explaining. I do have some of the same symptoms though.
Body dysmorphia doesn’t have anything to do with attraction to others or sexuality.
I understand that it doesn’t have to do with attraction to others or sex drive. I didn’t explain myself well.
