perceptions can be incredibly deceiving, even when they're directed at the self. for example, i took a picture of myself over the past weekend and when i see what i look like, it's so far from how i perceive myself to look. i think i have a slight neuroticism about this. i wouldn't call it bdd, i'm not that bad - but it bothers me. i don't feel slender. i feel average to pudgy in places. i don't strive to be perfect but i do strive to be comfortable with myself, and being that is more difficult than i thought.
Quite healthy, strapping even.
