    This is exactly what they do to social movements that threaten their bottom line.

    Social media has put a new spin on keeping up with the Joneses.

    Exposure to glorified lifestyles online has left many people, especially young adults, feeling financially inadequate, even if they’re doing relatively well, reports show.

    This is a complete mockery of what dysphoria means to people . They know exactly what they’re doing by watering down and purposefully misusing “dysphoria” to mean “oh you’re actually doing great why are you so sad?” It’s sadistic.

            I’m hard pressed to find any definition or use of the word “dysmorphia” that isn’t directly related to perception of one’s body. The word “dysmorphic” could be used to describe a malformed body part regardless of how the person feels about it, but malformed is a much more common way to describe that. “Dysmorphia” though seems to only describe an internal experience related to the perception of one’s body
