Confidence and OCD
Does anyone experience physical confidence issues that might be related to OCD?

I had an eating disorder growing up and very likely have body dysmorphic disorder related to OCD/perfectionism. So I would say yes. I realize eating disorders and BDD are not OCD but high risk of having both. Not sure if this is what you're getting at but yes, I see other women and I am like, how can I be that comfortable in my own skin?
Yes, for me a lot of social interaction are difficult because I have intrusive thought that tell me what I think this person is thinking about me, and that create a lot of distress because I have to prove to my self that it is no true (it is a compulsion so it dosent work because the thought will came again). Also I think that when you have a lot of repetitive intrusive thoughts specially about how you are perceived by other, it can alter the way you see yourself. (Or at least it feels like this in my case) I mean if I had someone telling me the things my mind is telling me every day, probably would be considered bullying or worst haha
