The influence of social media on mental health has become a critical area of study, particularly concerning its impact on individuals with Body Dysmorphic Issues (BDI). This research explores the lived experiences of individuals with Body Dysmorphic Issues in the use of social media, aiming to understand how these platforms affect their self-perception, psychological well-being, and coping mechanisms. Through a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study focuses on individuals aged 19 to 65 from Cabuyao and Santa Rosa, Laguna, who self-identify as having BDI. In-depth interviews revealed key themes such as the pressure to conform to idealized beauty standards, heightened social comparison and self- objectification, psychological distress, and the search for positive online spaces. Participants reported significant emotional struggles, including anxiety, low self-esteem, and compulsive behaviors, exacerbated by constant exposure to curated images on social media. Despite these challenges, some individuals adopted coping mechanisms, such as limiting social media usage and following body-positive accounts. The study emphasizes the profound role of social media in shaping body image perceptions among individuals with BDI and highlights the need for targeted interventions, including media literacy programs and supportive online communities. This research contributes to the broader discourse on mental health and social media, offering insights for mental health professionals, educators, and policymakers.
