- I guess that having somebody close to you with BDD would impact your own self image, right? :think:
I actually don't think it would, especially if you have 'normal' self esteem.
I think a lot of people realise that BDD is an irrational mental disorder that can take over people's lives. Personally, I don't think I'd be influenced that much by a friend if they had it, mainly because I know what it's about. It's irrational and abnormal for people with BDD to think the way they do. At least I think so anyway.
