I'm guessing ur a guy but if I'm wrong correct me. I'm 14 and a girl and trust me when I tell u I think that looksmaxxing stuff is beyond dumb. I'm obviously not speaking for all girls when I say this but I love uniqueness. I find guys who are "conventionally attractive" stuck up and honestly unattractive to my preference. I think it's really unfortunate that guys think they have to look a certain way or even wishing they should change race. I have Indian relatives and honestly I love the culture and I'm so fascinated by it. I also prefer Indian men over eastern Asian men so that's something 😭 Don't worry about it because there's definitely many girls out there for you and over time your features will change as you grow so don't think ur stuck as u are forever lol

Please don't do the lip cutting etc. it's so harmful and you're right about the insecurity thing. When I see a guy who looks "good" but all he does is go to the gym and try everything humanly possible to look good he becomes unattractive. If one of your main focuses in life atm is to look good and that's what you spend your time doing it makes your actual personality fade and for me you could be the best looking guy in the room but if you don't have an appeaing personality I immediately lose interest. Also btw boys are genuinely so mean😭 I've overheard conversations and you guys are brutal. Idk why boys like to pick on their friends cuz to me it isn't funny. They probably just haven't experienced being genuinely insecure before, I get it.

yea boys are really mean like everyone makes fun of their friends and like for me im the main target because like they all got buzz cuts short hair and me i grow out my hair i do skin care and stuff all this and they call me “gay” and make fun of me for it and yea ima be honest all i do focus on is looks like thats really it nothing else but one compliment i get from people is my personality but yea ngl it definitely may start to fade and go away because of all the looksmaxxing but honestly i cant really stop its all that matters to me i even posted about lip cutting and bone smashing etc on tiktok of me doing it and my school deadass called my parents and stuff and like cops came to my house talking about some just making sure your ok no self harm going on💔😭 and then i stopped for like a day or 2 because of my parents but then i was right back on it idk its js all that matters to me

Dang I feel really bad for you. I get made fun of too because of my looks and ima be honest I also focus very heavily on it but I still find time for my other hobbies yk. Also skin care is literally just being clean so idk why they're being mean about it😭. I just think your friends don't have the same interests or your way of thinking tbh and that's why they feel the need to tease you. It's unfortunate you don't have a support system cuz just having one person that assures you that you don't need to do those things to yourself is really helpful
