It can be as small as not likeing a certain aspect of yourself or being critical of an action you take. (For example, a "oh, i should have gotten that question right, i knew that!") Other issues, like BDD (Body Dismorphic Disorder) are much more serious. BDD is where a person looks at themself and sees false realities. This can mena seeing yourself as fat, when you are really thin (as is what happens with eating disorders), or just not being tuned into reality.
