Sup /fit/.
Been a few tough months for me lately where I get disappointed in myself regarding my body.
Even though I am bigger than any of my friends and most people at the gym, I still see myself as small and ugly.
I went from borderline fat to fit and with a sixpack that I always wanted, I really felt good with my body until a few months ago.
Does anyone else have this problem? I feel like BDD is only talked about in the women industry and I have never heard anything about men dealing with the same stuff.
How can I get rid of these images of myself?
Mind you, I like my body most of the time but lately I've been feeling bad about it even though I still progress in strength and looks.
I get comments from my friends/family/gym-bros that I look good and all that but when I get home and look myself in the mirror or when trying to take pictures, I see nothing but a DYEL.
BDD = Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Post your body so we can reassure you you're not DYEL

I never said I was.
My point of this thread was to discuss BDD.

Bdd isn't real, just gotta learn to be happy with what you have. Shutup and keep lifting . Whining isn't gonna change anything. It's not like it's life threatening like you're going to be malnurished. Only idiot girls do that, which I hope you're not. No health risks with getting big unless you start roiding

I know 100% for a fact your not fit or jacked. If you were fit/jacked you would know that everyone who has been lifting for a considerable amount of time has body dismorphia. You big gay baby

You prob look like shit. Irrational fears are usually still somewhat grounded in reality
>>42070834
You literally said you were bigger than your friends and everyone at the gym

I'm bigger than everyone in my gym, doesn't mean I'm big just that everyone in my gym is small.

can't decide if you're fishing for compliments or you're actually worried... look man I'm not happy with my body 100% of the time either but that doesn't mean I can't objectively (or almost objectively) see how good I look, are you sure you're not just having a phase? just compare fucking pictures (yourself to others - not fitness models tho, lighting is a bitch - or your current body to previous pictures of you), pretend it's not you if it helps...
I honestly think BDD is not that big of a deal, bodybuilders and roidmonkeys blame BDD sometimes but you know what? They just took it too far and got way too addicted to gains, that's not an actual mental problem, is it now?
