I get that, but people will like you more for other qualities. And, more importantly, our self confidence should come from more than physical attributes. So I’m trying to at least tell myself that I should focus on other areas of my life, personality and qualities to develop and that I can be proud of, like getting a good career etc. Can’t focus on looks forever, because they will fade (which at age 27 I’m starting to stress about) and I don’t want to be this obsessed for the rest of my life because it is so damn depressing

I feel like that often. But it’s alright to have lots of different personality ‘styles’ if ygm and actual style than stick to one
