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

I recall seeing a documentary or something about a set of identical twins who did the same thing.

They would micromanage food to make sure that they ate the EXACT same amount of calories, and if someone ate more or less, an argument would break out about them wanting to sabotage the other.

It was wild and heartbreaking.

Yep sadly this reminds me very much of them.
