Imagined ugliness or body Dysmorphic disorder(BDD) is a disorder that makes a person believes that he is ugly or unattractive.
The problem with this disorder is that the mental picture a person has for himself in his mind usually has nothing to do with his real looks and as a result his social life gets affected. (see Social isolation causes).
Some people who have BDD argue by saying that if they were really good looking then they won't have had doubts about their physical appearance but if those people knew that some famous celebrities have BDD then they would have not used that argument.
Plastic surgery is one of the methods that people who have imagined ugliness use to feel good about themselves but it rarely solves their problems.
Because the problem resides mainly in the way the person processes the image of his face (his perception of his physical looks) and not with his real looks plastic surgery usually doesn't solve the problem.
So how can imagined ugliness be treated?
While imagined ugliness is a persistent disorder you can still get rid of it if you persistently kept applying the following advice:
Getting over BDD is all about unlearning the bad habits that force you to collect negative data about your looks and learning new positive habits that enable you to collect positive data.
When the negative data you collect about your physical appearance exceeds the positive ones then you might suffer from imagined ugliness. If you managed to collect more positive data than negative data then your problem will be over.
