Hi all,

I'm really not sure if this is the right community to be asking but I hope so.

I don't think I've ever known what I looked like, I can look in a mirror but even if I do I still couldn't tell you what I look like. Sometimes I like certain parts about myself while also thinking I'm built weirdly. I could probably explain to someone what parts of my body look like and why I find them weird/fine or whatever. But I just don't think I have a concept of what I look like and I find it really hard to put into words what I mean by that.

Maybe, for example, I see a stranger I could think to myself this person looks athletic, or this person is lanky, or this person is squat. For myself I don't think I could describe myself in any way.

Also I think this is related but I really don't think my physical body is 1:1 with what my brain thinks it is. For example earlier I thought my arms at 90 degrees to my torso but then I saw myself and it was more like 45 degrees.

Does anyone here experience anything similar? Is this dysmorphia of some description?
