i have a deep bite which obviously isn’t ideal but i don’t see much of the effect of it actually in my face, sure it brings my mandible back like 1mm but my chin projected enough for it not to be noticeable and when i jut my lower jaw to “fix” it and have a normal bite it makes me look weird what do i do
 
See an Orthodontist.
Really hard to tell you whether it's okay or not without photos.

Looks fine.
Again, if you're concerned, see an Ortho.
right, the only thing the dentist has told me is i need braces because when im older the teeth will grind on my gums causing damage which is kinda retarted because i don’t walk around with my jaw biting down

See an Orthodontist, not a Dentist.
 
If it doesn't cause any pain or problems in chewing then it should be fine. Unless of course it impacts your looks in a way you don't like it.
