Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BBD) is a body-image disorder where you obsess over imperfections with your appearance, whether real or perceived. This can also be associated with anxiety, OCD, depression and eating-disorders. Some signs could include: camouflaging (see this with many social media pics where use of angles, makeup, filters etc are used), comparing to others, cosmetic surgery, obsession or avoidance of mirrors and/or public, and extreme amounts of exercise. If you suspect you might struggle with BBD or know someone who might (trainers/coaches take note!) please seek help and support. Counselling, especially Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), can help as well as other professionals.
