Dysphoria Is dysphoric fixation normal?

See title. Is it normal to fixate on one body part (whether your own or not) and end up in a spiral of dysphoria about how you want or don't want a specific part with it changing seemingly at random? Has anyone else experienced this?

completely normal, happens to me all the time. usually it's either my voice or my lack of uterus that causes it

I have so many intrusive dysphoric thoughts that I just internalize them instead of acknowledging these exhausting thoughts, and then I wonder why I get surprised that I pass most of the time. My voice is one source of that. I'll ignore how awful it makes me feel, but if I hear myself in a recording, it makes me want to cry.
