    That is interesting. I have a friend with body dismorphia. I think there are different kinds of body dismorphia, and in his case, I trully do not think it represents reality. He is muscular, gym kind of physique, but he hates a certain part of it. I love the part that he hates, and I express it often. I wonder if I am doing the wrong thing? Should I be doing something else?

        Oh, sure, I agree with that, 100%. But when he tells me “I hate my X, look at them, so bad”, it feels wrong to just say “Oh, you should love yourself, not your body”.
