Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is defined as an obsessive-compulsive disorder characterized by an overwhelming preoccupation with perceived flaws in appearance that others often don’t notice or deem slight.
Though my obsession with my facial defects never ceases to exist completely, it had been minimal leading up to my date. I felt confident enough to say yes to Jordan.
As I prepared for the date, I felt unexpectedly excited, choosing my outfit carefully and putting on makeup to draw attention away from areas I was insecure about.
Despite my anxiety surrounding my appearance, the experience of meeting Jordan in person, his calming presence, and our conversation brought warmth and ease to my initial nerves.
