There are lucky women who are confident in themselves in spite of everything, who do not notice their own shortcomings at close range and who know how to turn any of their sides into dignity. But most women tend to just the opposite: we stare at ourselves in the mirror, sigh sadly, frantically pull out the first gray hairs and are terrified of getting fat.
In the extreme expression, such concern about one's own appearance and inadequate perception of it acquires pathological features and is called dysmorphophobia, in which preoccupation with imaginary external defects begins to interfere with real life.
Dysmorphophobia has many manifestations: girls constantly look in the mirror and look for an advantageous angle in which the alleged defect is not visible; categorically refuse to be photographed under various pretexts; overuse cosmetics and so on.
In severe cases, dysmorphophobia requires treatment by a specialist.
We offer you to take our test and find out whether you adequately assess your body, whether you tend to exaggerate shortcomings or emphasize advantages.
