How to handle with body dysmorphia and comparing yourself to others (reps)

So I’ve been making slow natural gains but because I’m like 35% body fat (mostly gut and love handles). I spend 2-3 hours at the gym for just a little pump (see avi).

But these skinny fit lanky types just come in do a few reps of mostly curls and look aesthetic af. Not much mass but cuts make people eyefuk them.

I know I’ve got ok arms and have noticed people look at me and my exercises but I just not happy. What do misc?

Do more cardio. Try investing 60-70% time on cardio and 30-40% time on lifting until you're lean enough to do 50:50 or whichever ratio works best for your body type (you'll have to experiment). Clean up your diet. Eat lean meat for high protein, and veggies for minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants. Do lots of cardio. Avoid carb-overloading, sugar, fat and too much salt.

PSMF or low carb with lots of leafy greens or you could also try carb cycling.

Basics of that are you switch back and forth between low carb high fat (healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil) then on your next meal you do high carb like brown rice and low fat. Also stick to low fat meats like boneless skinless chick breasts.

Good luck bro, we all gonna make it.

Also try HIIT cardio if you can handle it.

One other thing, if you haven't already cut out soda and alcohol.
I have sampled every language and French is my favorite to curse in.

That's not body dysmorphia. Body dysmorphia is having an unrealistic view of yourself and body image, i.e.-you're in great shape but still have unrealistically perfect demands on yourself. If you're 35% body fat, your perspective that you're a fatty is spot on and realistic.
