    Terminal encounter has put it really well, but for me in my personal life i tend to think of it as: dysmorphia is when I cant see my body for what it is, dysphoria is when I can.

    Like i get obsessive about my shoulders and ribcage. Yeah theyre on the larger side, but not abnormal for women. I often cant see this, and think my shoulders are massive, so i categorize it as dysmorphia.

    I also get obsessive about my leg hair, but i dont see my legs as more hairy than they are. The issue there is that I see them for what they are and I dont like it, whereas my shoulders i see as larger than they are and dont like that.

    Idk if thats helpful, its not a medical way to think about it, but its how i think about it in my life vivian-shrug
