thanks for being there

These days are the lonelinest

f*** i lost my wallet and had a complete mental breakdown and f***ed my whole body up f

As a guy, my physically appearance shouldn't affect my self-esteem the way it does.

Some girls call me handsome and I occasionally receive compliments, but I always feel like they're saying it to be nice. I look at myself and think I'm far from conventionally attractive. I think I'm just average. Not necessarily ugly, but not necessarily handsome. Catch me at a bad angle and I'll look horrible easily. I wanted to look good no matter the angle or facial expression.

It's often said that the way you dress has a huge impact on how people perceive you. Dressing well should lead to better impressions of you. However, I wonder if it's even worth buying cool, hip clothes is even worth it. I like the clothes for what they are, but I don't know if it's worth having an extensive wardrobe as opposed to just one or two presentable, basic outfits if I look just "average."

It's a weird situation I'm in. I know I'm not ugly. I'm just disappointed I don't look as handsome as I desire.

I just want to be free

I can't give up on myself...hang in there

I think about if all this looking cool fashion s*** is worth it at all and if I should just dress basic

But I remind myself that (this bout to be cliche) should dress for myself and express myself as a person
instead of dressing basic or for people around you dress for you

And you won’t have that 2nd guessing on ur mind all the time

Edit: didn’t read ur post properly at first but this still stands since I already wrote it

I’m in a pocket in my life rn where I need to make a big change, or it will get drastically worse

Times ticking but I feel I can do it

Sending love to all itt 💜

you shouldnt give a s*** what others think of you.

Just make sure you're happy with yourself

I see a lot of people on this forum talking bout being ugly, insecure etc etc

but in reality, inner beauty reflects on the outside too. Even an ugly person can be a decent 7/10 just with proper hygiene and by taking care of themselves.

"I get weary and sick of trying, I'm tired of living but scared of dying"

It's a bit different for me. I take good care of myself and have excellent hygiene, but I still wish I looked better. I'm not ugly. I know that. I'm just disappointed I don't look good from all angles, at all times. It's kinda weird, I know, but it's something I've been dealing with on and off.

It's hard to really figure out how to go about this because it's not straight-up "I'm so ugly" insecurity, but I'm not coming to full acceptance of myself either.

and that's good for you, wanting to improve yourself is always a good thing. We all want to do better to be better, whether it's looks/work/school

just dont let it f*** with your perception of yourself.

I used to hate myself till I got a gf and realized I'm actually better than I thought I was.

Imo you just need a boost of confidence

Been some years now. Need a break.

had a dream about it

Wish I could go five years back and start again from that point

Not doing good tbh

I was suicidal all summer and wracked by anxiety that spiralled out of control.

I am happy to have made great strides and would love to have people talk to me for my 2 cents, i know it's easier for me to say and it's hard to believe, but may as well do my part

i havent been able to finish literally any food

im so anxious 24/7, stomach is burning as i type this

idk whats going on

i only find peace when i sleep

those vivid nightmares tho

have you ever tried seeing a doctor about it? I waited way too long to finally see someone

this is new so im just hoping it goes away, if it persists though im def gonna have to say something. is there a term for it? hows it treated?
