No, dyel

whenever I see someone else I instantly judge all their insertions, proportions etc

What the fuck is wrong with me.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be better.

>>38943581
I think about height 24/7, and I am not really that short.

A lot of us also fell into the opposite end of the spectrum and took up strongman/WL/PL and etc.

I wouldnt be weightlifting if it wasnt for fit. I can care less how i look as long as that snatch is going up.

>>38943581
I gave myself body image issues by being fat. Turning it around is what counts.

Yeah this is where I'm at now. I had originally gotten into this to get bigger, and holy fuck did I, but now instead of gunning for "aesthetics" I care much more about whether or not I'm going to hit 1/2/3/4 by the end of the year. Also just learned that those are maxes lmao, thought they were for 5 reps.

Once I've done those, I'll swap my routine (compounds at least) into an 8-12 rep scheme instead of the 5 reps. Just don't want new years to roll around and I can't even bench lmao2pl8 hahaha.

yes because my body image is hot now that it's seriously becoming an issue.

can't help myself from flexing whenever I see a mirror.

All my friends ask if I'm roids, I think I look small.

Can see abs, think i'm fat

Never in my life have I considered my height an issue 5'9 until I came on here to realize i'm one of the chosen kings of manlets.

I legitimately have body dysmorphoc disorder and its fucking terrible. Have had it since I was a little kid and still have it now at 21. I was always the kid swimming with a shirt on. For my senior trip in high school we went to a lake and I was the only one who didn't go swimming because I was ashamed of my body. The fun house mirror comparison is a very real thing. I take medicine and see a psychiatrist for it. I've seen my teflection in public thinking it was another person and thought it was a skinny rail and then realized it was me and the image basically changed inbetween my double take from a lanklet to an obese loser. I have a bmi of 22. I'm 6' and 160 lbs. It makes me struggle a lot with diet and exercise because I always want to change what I'm doing based on perceptions and reality and because I always see that same overweight sick person it makes it difficult to see progress I do make so I always end up dropping my routine as far as diet and exercise go. I dropped from 186 to 155 in less than 3 months and never saw the difference and it made me hate myself. I've struggled with depression for a long time and this is only one of the reasons for it but it is a real bitch to deal with.

Point being, BDD is a real bitch, and if coming to fitness forums and image boards makes you feel body image issues its probably not that and its ok to feel like you aren't there yet. You are working hard for a reason. But notice the progress you have made and understand your goals. Don't let your goals become unattainable. Know what you want and make sure its measurable and realistic. If you want to look better in the mirror and thats your only goal in fitness, you'll never get there. All the progress you make will only make you want to go farther and that will push your goal farther away and you'll always have those issues like I do. Understand what you want and how to achieve and how to know when you are getting close. Let your progress show itself and feel good for it

>>38943581
For sure. I saw this guy in my high school who was build like a wall yet his girlfriend told another class I was in (psychology) that he sometimes felt so little and they would spoon and console each other because she felt huge on the other hand (she was tiny). He would say "baby do you think I'm small" once in awhile while having a hard time going through a doorway.
This is also the guy I saw at the gym once who stood at the entrance to the guys locker room for 10 minutes and tried to get in but kept letting others pass while getting agitated. He would just step back and look pissed and then try again and then let another guy pass. Another time he missed his bus stop because he kept letting others get out and then IN while step dancing around with a frown.

It's true. If I didn't feel disgusted I would laugh.

>>38943581

Yes, I'm easily a 7/10 for my area and fit would have me believe that I'm a 4/10 on my best days.

But thinking I am a 4/10 is what will make me a 10/10, so I wouldn't want to have it any other way.

>>38943779

Yes and no.

I look at the fucking mirror all the time even tough I'm DYEL with a pretty good body by mass standards, but I strive for a lot more and I think a REAL MAN should look like a greek god.

I think it's the whole "Emotion clouds judgement" thing.
When you're working hard to change your body you REALLY REALLY want to see the changes, so much so that it becomes confusing. "Am I seeing what's there, or just what I want to see?"

You can tell i lift in clothes, but i go to the gym for fun and to get stronger. The numbers and reflection in the mirror are just spooks.

I know all the insecure closet homos will make fun of me, but i encourage everyone to do it for a month, won't harm anything. Then go back to weighing yourself and flexing in the mirror like a gay porno if you want

>>38943581

I know it can end up unhealthy for some, but for most the amount of 'body issues' we get is the same as 'music issues' or 'art issues' for musicians trying to improve and artists trying to improve. No one gives musicians shit for thinking they aren't as good as the could be at their instrument and always striving to improve.

>>38948984
Agreed. Most people with issues of this nature (see also: addictions) are aware of it sometimes, and at some abstract level are usually aware of it.

>>38946007
I pretty much agree. I find that the "pinup girls", particularly in /fit/, too often lead to excessive jerking. While I'm secure in many of my far right beliefs, 4chan seems to exacerbate hatefulness and prejudice in a way that I find unhealthy when I step away for a little while.

Also, as someone else mentioned, I've rarely been despondent about my height since high school, but this place brought it back.

That said, the people who are depressed and lonely in /fit/ and /k/ are far more like me than anyone I've met in person.

now this is debilitating. at least you can change your body to closer fit your ideal, its much harder to change your height. especially if you aren't even that short, like why waste the anxiety and stress over something that doesnt matter?

Yup, going to the army made me realise how ridiculous /fit/s standards are.
Just being ottermode makes you look better than 90℅ of people

This. 5'9" Manlet here. Before fit it was something I never paid mind to. People were just different heights and that was that.
Now I'm always aware of height of those around me. At least I can still remember what it was like before. It reminds me that normies are paying literally no mind to height unless you're especially short or tall for your gender.
