I guess it's pretty sad and pathetic for a 22 year old to be talking about looksmaxxing. Realistically, I understand that it's probably over for me, but I feel compelled to at least try to become attractive before I CTB. Being ugly is the root cause of quite literally all of my problems (I understand that I'm in the minority here and that most people have problems regardless of how attractive they are), so I figure if I weren't ugly I would at least have a fighting chance in this world.
I'm giving myself until the end of this summer to be at least a 6/10 (preferably higher though); I'm maybe a 3.5/10 rn and I started as a 2/10. That way I'll be attractive enough to enjoy studying abroad next fall semester. If that doesn't work out, CTB it is.
The prospect of CTB if all of this fails somehow makes me more motivated to put in the work to better myself.
Is anyone else in a similar position? What are you doing/what have you done?
Below, I outline my own personal efforts to become attractive in more detail. It's not super relevant to this discussion but I wanted to include it in case anyone was curious.
I've already made decent progress, I think - finally understand how to dress in a way that won't get me made fun of and grew my hair down to my shoulders without bleaching or dyeing it for the first time since I was maybe 14. I went on Accutane a year or so ago, and now my skin is mostly clear, with the added bonus of my hair texture changing from pin straight to wavy, which makes it look fuller. I recently got on tretinoin and minoxidil to enhance these effects.
I got into pilates about a year ago as well and managed to transform my body pretty significantly, but I fell off the wagon during finals and lost basically all my gains, but I'm trying to get back on track. I improved by diet by cutting out gluten, and I'm trying to cut out added sugars next.
I'm still quite ugly because I have terrible bone structure (skeletal underbite, long face, low/flat cheekbones, sunken chest, and scoliosis giving me crazy asymmetry throughout my whole face and body). I can't afford braces or surgery or anything like that, so I've been doing the Mewing World course and Starecta, which I think is helping, but not as much as I would like it to. I've been meaning to teach myself some of the Schroth methods to improve my symmetry. I also finally managed to build a makeshift headgear, which I use for 30 minutes or more every day. The jury is still out on whether it will help me at all, but it does seem to give me an instant temporary facelift by relaxing the soft tissue around my mouth, so that's promising.
