dysmorphia -- Isabella, Jack, Sam, Willie, Hayden, Lucie, Gretchen

Body dysmorphic disorder is a type of chronic mental illness in which you can't stop thinking about a flaw in your appearance — a flaw that is either minor or imagined. But to you, your appearance seems so shameful that you don't want to be seen by anyone.

Thanks for the definition to http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/body-dysmorphic-disorder/DS00559

Thank heavens my nieces and nephews seem to have healthy perceptions of their bodies and, so far as I can tell, do not suffer from body dysmorphic disorder.
