I have mixed feelings about my appearance. On one hand, a lot of days I'll look in the mirror and feel like I look good. I'm not anywhere near perfect or handsome, but I kind of like the way my eyes sparkle sometimes. On the other hand, I know I'm objectively not good looking, since I've never got attention from girls, at least in a romantic way. There's some innate desire in me to be physically attractive to girls, and since I am not and will never be that, it makes me perpetually sad.
I probably come off as pathetic. I'm not just somebody who likes to whine. I've been working out almost every day for the past few months and I've been practicing my speech and behaviors since I'm a little awkward and have a lisp. I'm a driven person and I'm ready to put the work in to make myself better.
My question is though, how do I stop caring what other people think about me? Since I don't have great genetics, I know I'm always not going to be perceived as cool or attractive, and thus I'll always be a little sad about that. I want to be happy with the way I am and improve for myself.
