Is there such a thing as “reverse BDD”?

[tandycrutchfieParticipant]

From what I understand, people with BDD often think they’re unattractive, like something is wrong with their body. For example, my friend with BDD constantly obssesses over her height, even thought she’s only a little taller than usual. But what I have is I think rare and odd – I obsess that I’m strinkgly attractive and think everyone is staring at me all the time and only want to be my friend because of my phyical beauty. No one else in my support group has this. Am I really unique in this/
