This project is deeply personal. It is a magazine about exploration of self-perception, distortion, and the way we experience our own reflections. It’s about the thoughts that spiral when no one is looking, the way a mirror can feel like both a tool and a weapon, and how reality can shift depending on the mind that sees it.
I know this experience firsthand. I have body dysmorphia, too. I understand what it means to feel disconnected from your own reflection, to obsess over details no one else notices, to feel trapped in a body that never looks right. This project isn’t just about research, it’s about capturing something real, something that so many of us live with but struggle to put into words.
Through this survey, I want to listen. To understand the emotions, the patterns, the quiet moments of frustration or exhaustion that often go unnoticed. Every answer helps shape a deeper, more truthful narrative;
one that goes beyond the surface and into the way body image truly feels.
Your responses will remain anonymous unless you choose otherwise. This is a space for honesty, reflection, and, above all, understanding.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
