Are we actually improving or just coping?

[vazOkay]

How many people here are actually improving vs just finding new ways to cope? You can fix your skin, get a better haircut, go gym but at what point does it stop being “self-improvement” and start being obsession?

Not saying looks don’t matter, they obviously do. But I’m starting to think there’s a point where overanalysis just messes with your head more than it helps.
Is the goal to become objectively better, or just less insecure?

Curious what you guys think

It's obsession from the start. No comfort-seeking human being wakes up and wants to improve for no reason
