I’m not gonna sound like a pussy and trauma dump but I haven’t had the best childhood or current life, my dad was an abusive rapist not towards me but towards other people and my family, after that demon hellspawn got deported to the slums of Colombia, i had a calm 3 months before my money-greedy babysitters called the police and made a report that my mother wouldn’t feed us, not buy us new clothes, and over all not take care of us (completely false my mom worked 4-5 jobs to maintain us she isn’t a immigrant and is actually very very beautiful and I don’t just say it because she’s my mom she’s genuinely very pretty) I stood in foster for 4 years, was starved to near death while I had the flu (I was 4 at the time) and foster was overall a bad experience for me and my 2 brothers, but after a while my mom got us back. Something probably happened to her tho, because before quarantine hit, she started getting abusive psychology, and physically, she hasn’t tried to beat my ass in a couple of months but she was still mentally abusive and still is to the point where exactly 1 month ago from today I tried to kill myself. I got sent to a psyche ward it was only for 5 hours but still nonetheless terrible experience, enough trauma dumping but to the actual question, could this have affected how good I look, I’m not ugly by any means but I do know that stress and malnutrition can hurt your attractiveness especially during development

He wasn’t malnourished as a kid it started when he would take drugs
Malnutrition sure but trauma as in you were beat, exposed to violent crime/obscene material, etc isn't enough

maybe, but your body is pretty resilient so it doesnt make drastic changes unless it gets pushed to utter extremes

do you have ayone you could compare to ? for example if one of your brothers had it better see how you compare to him. or even uncles and shit
 
Childhood trauma can put your body in a state of stress, which causes your stress hormones to increase. Stress hormones suppress the testosterone you're supposed to get at puberty. It also negatively impacts bone growth.

Studies have shown that too much Childhood stress, particularly in the first 5 years of life can cause shorter adult height and more facial asymmetry.

Hmmm that’s weird, I must have good genes because I’m not short, and I’ve always been considered attractive

Yea my oldest brother has insane bone mass and imo his only failo is his eye area, think of him as a taller penn badgley with a better sub mental region, and higher set cheekbones he also has a wide jaw he’s high key low-mid chadlite. We have literally the same face shape but my zygos and cheekbones and eye area are better than his, but his jaw high key mogs me

Childhood trauma and abuse don’t just damage the mind — they physically change how the body and face develop. When a child grows up in constant stress, their body is flooded with cortisol, which blocks growth hormone and shifts the system into survival mode instead of healthy growth. This often leads to shorter height, weaker bone structure, and delayed physical development. In extreme cases, the body activates precocious puberty — maturing far too early as a defence mechanism, basically saying, “life is unsafe, grow fast so you can reproduce before it’s too late.” While this might protect survival, it comes at a cost: the growth plates fuse earlier, stunting height, and sex hormones hit too soon, giving the face a harsher, unbalanced look compared to someone who matures slowly. Trauma also affects facial development — stress and anxiety encourage mouth breathing and tension in facial muscles, which over time cause a recessed maxilla, weaker jawline, and permanent “stressed” expressions. Cortisol further damages the skin, leaving it dull and aged, while the body stores more belly fat and struggles to build muscle. Science calls this biological aging acceleration, where stress literally wears the body out faster.
 
Not really just look at Rira
Good genes will always thrive but trauma and abuse does effect looks, rira would have only looked better if he ate correctly and developed normally
