I have this feeling with photos of myself if I don’t feel they’re 100% accurate, and the best way I can describe the feeling is like if you imagine you’re sending a message to someone and they only get half of it, and the whole message is important. And it’s like it might not matter to them but it matters to you that they get exactly what you meant to send them. Does that make sense to anyone?

Perfectionism OCD

The message thing makes sense to me for sure, I’ve had feelings where I need to make sure I say everything perfectly so people understand me perfectly. I think the photo thing makes sense too, for me it was usually that I would look at every tiny detail to make sure I like it.
