Medical - Psychology / BDD Body dysmorphic disor

English term or phrase: being focused externally

This is the most common compulsion in BDD. It is not just the process of checking that is a problem — it is the way in which one does it. For example, being self-focused on how one feels in front a mirror leads to a different conclusion than being focused externally on what one sees in a mirror and being nonjudgmental.
