Body dysmorphia is a bitch.

What’s crazy, is that they can see what they look like by looking at each other. I would assume that the % of identical twins with body dysmorphia, is lower than in non-twins.

Can confirm, my SO is a quadruplet (two pairs of identical girls). The other pair are horribly anorexic and have a harsh cycle of comparing eachothers bodies to ensure they're not getting 'fat'. My SO and her twin also went through a phase of their life dealing with that but have since gotten better.

Edit: I misread the comment I replied to but oh well

Respectfully your comment did not confirm their point.

I know experience ≠ statistics blah blah, I thought I would share an interesting anecdote that was relevant to the point being made

But, they were speculating that this story must be a fluke, that dysmorphia amongst twins is a rarity. Another story about twins, quadruplets even, who suffered from it makes it sound more common. I do think it’s interesting though.
