Yep, that sounds exactly what @rosie26 described. I have mild dysmorphia. It's become plain to me over the years that what I see is not what others see, that's for sure. This was meMight have been body dysmorphia.
Although I usually kept all the criticism in my head because of the reaction I would get from others when I voiced it.never satisfied with how she looks, and is always criticizing her features instead of blaming the dress for a perceived negative effect.
Mom's got it mildly, too, she was a real fat phobe for a while, so it's probably hereditary to some extent, maybe due to some snps. It never drove me to anorexia (I have the opposite problem, in fact), but when I was thin I was never thin enough. I thought I was a cow. I look at old pictures now and think "Holy crap, I totally *wasted* that!" but c'est la vie, I guess.
