<p>Magic dust was a good way to describe it, in my daydreams i am the most beautiful girl in the world and of course in reality of course i am not. When people tell me i am beautiful it's like it's not enough, I feel like i need to be the person I am in my daydreams. I wish I could stop daydreaming about myself as being perfect and accept myself for who I am<br></br> <br></br> <cite>taffle said:…</cite></p>

<p>I don't obsess about it and hate seeing myself in photos. I guess because in my DD I look better then in real life, and I don't like the reality of the photo. But I do share the disconnect with my reflection Like sometimes you are looking at a stranger. Like that is not who I am. Maybe it's all part of the disconnect to reality I feel due to MD.</p>

<p>Whoa I totally do this too.... like writing something and imagining my crush and others reading it and thinking I'm super smart and cool xD. And imagine them noticing the way I dress and thinking I'm such a cool and unique individual, and thinking of funny jokes that I would theoretically say in front of them in a super cool scenario (like at a party xD) and they think I'm soo cool. So no yo're not alone I think a lot of people DD about themselves idealized.</p>

<p>I do that all the time! I look in the mirror, not to gussy up, but to imagine how I look to other people. I move my face around, pinch my nose, push my nose, mess around with my eyes, my hair. I "cheese" like 5 different ways...just to see if my teeth always look straight. I remember "the face" to use when someone wants to take my picture. I always want to see the picture after it's taken so that I can stare at it.</p>
