How To Encourage Your Friend With Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) To Go Out

How can I encourage my friend with BDD to go out?

Encouraging somebody with BDD to go out with them is very important because it's important for them not to avoid so much and it's important for them to maintain relationships. And again, I think, being able to empathize with how it may be difficult is a first step, and then maybe starting with something that is easy for the person to do, and then working your way up, like "Why don't you just come over to my house - We'll hang out for a little bit," and then maybe next time say "Well, step outside for a little bit and we'll take a little walk" and it will gradually help them get better.
