I'm struggling with body dysmorphia and impostor syndrome.
- People often compliment my appearance, but I never know if they're being genuine or just making fun of me. I have no objective view of how I actually look.
- Friends tell me I'm a good-looking guy, but no matter what they say, I'm extremely insecure and I don't believe them.
- I like girls, and my friends say they notice girls checking me out and showing interest, but I always feel like they’re disgusted by me or hate me.
- I had no problem with girls in high school, but when COVID hit, something switched inside me and I haven’t been the same since.
- Now I’m injecting androgens daily just to shut my brain up and act on instinct. I’m terrified of getting erectile dysfunction again because of my insecurity.
I’m genuinely scared of approaching girls because I’m convinced they’re repulsed by me. My friends say I’m being delusional and that people are going to start thinking I’m gay, which I’m not. I really need help.
