Bodybuilding TEDTalk

Body dysmorphia is the reason why i can‘t take videos of myself or even hear recordings of my voice, my body has a panic response. Can‘t see myself in mirrors without feeling a little bit of anxious. It sucks. But i accepted it, not gonna waste energy fighting it

Edgar I spent 15+ years in the gym working out with great dedication and saw NO results at all. I can assure you that YOU are not skinny or ugly- but I suppose it's your self-perception that counts.

Thank you for talking about this, you really are a legend man! So important to realise that dysmorphia is a definite ‘thing’ and it just creeps up out of nowhere when you’re enjoying training in the gym… Take care and keep smashing it 💪🏼

If someone as beautiful as you can have these kinds of thoughts, then the rest of us are fucked lmao. But in all seriousness, I’ve been fighting body dysmorphia too for many years and relate to what you’re saying here so much.

And people commenting the opposite to the dysmorphia does zero to help
