Happy Sunday, fellas! I hope you are all having a joyful weekend of going your own way. It's almost 100 degrees here in Chicago, but still, not letting it get in my way. I thought I would ask you guys for advice since I have come to enjoy the advice and posts you guys make on here.

Throughout my youth, I was berated for my appearance. Good ol' K-12 shit. Now, I am 24, almost 25, and trying to get through each day. I have struggled always with my appearance. After going through cancer treatment at a young age, I, of course, became for self-conscious, especially due to having head tics (little head spams.) These were a side-effect of cancer treatment, and they were more seen when I got stressed out. I still have them today. Now, I just make fun of them. Whenever I have one and somebody asks me a "Yes or no" question, I have to save myself quickly. Then, I went to college, hoping to forget about the bullying. Instead, my struggle with my appearance continued.

In college, I socialized with almost anyone. Had a great group of guy friends, who I still visit, often. I wasn't going to let my college years be shit. Of course, I did the whole college hookup thing. I had never had a relationship (and to this date never have,) so I just saw the hookup thing as a good ol' fun college stereotype. A lot of us have been there. However, as time passed, my fight with my insecurity of my appearance intensified. I began to think any girl I found physically attractive was a shallow, condescending bitch. I didn't want to think this, and do not know how it intensified. I am now at a point where due to me thinking this, I do not know how to find myself physically attractive, have a clear mind daily, etc.

It's tedious awaking everyday with a full head of stress due to a fight with me being insecure with my appearance, not feeling good enough for the world, etc. I do things I enjoy, and try to avoid conversation with women as much as possible, but it simply keeps consuming me.

I do my best to take care of myself. I am about to get into the workout habit, more often. I also eat healthy and do things I enjoy so that I may be the happiest as possible.

Anybody else here ever struggle with their appearance and overcome it? I really like the advice you all give each other, and being that now I am going my own way, I want to get my mind clear of this insecurity just because I tried to go after the dating scene. I just want to finally function normally again and promote the attractiveness of the MGTOW to fullest extent.
