Possibly: This depends on whether your friends are truly friendly, as i hope yours are. Such friends can be a great support (more than strangers) because they love you for yourself, and not your physical appearance. If they listen and care about you, they'll gently let you know when you're over-emphasizing a perceived bodily imperfection & need to be more accepting of yourself -- & need to get help too.
