I've read Stoicism and I've gone through a ton of shit and still, nothing has changed. I make an effort every time for months to become comfortable with my looks, but my insecurity has gone fucking wild.

I hate looking at other good-looking people, I hate seeing myself in phone pictures, I hate seeing myself on social media, I hate seeing myself in the mirror, and I feel disgusting whenever I put on clothes.

I know how to be cocky, flirtatious, witty, and outwardly confident, but deep down that insecurity is annoying the fuck out of me.

I've been going to the gym but I wasn't born with great facial aesthetics. I know it's completely out my fucking control but that's what annoys me.

Any advice desperately needed. This is holding me back bigtime.
