How can I feel fulfilled?

[Yaenex]

To be honest, I don't even really now what I want to achieve with this thread. I just feel like I need some advice from people that perhaps have gone through the same experience as me...

This is what I looked like exactly 2 years ago:

compared to today:

And now honestly, I am able to acknowledge the fact that I do look much better now but theres just some kind of mental blockage preventing me to find peace. I've been thinking for a while and I just feel like theres no way for me to truly achieve this "goal" I think exists. I just want to fill this empty space inside of me but I cant seem to figure out what could. Whenever I achieve the things I want to, im never truly satisfied. Is there anyone who shares a similar experience? I just feel so helpless jfl

I feel the exact same way or at least i used to,

I find that life is long, you go through many stages, part of the reason ur still miserable is because the world is getting worse, economy, politics etc. So everyone around you is getting more upset and stressed, its not ur fault really.

You need to find inner peace, i find that just trying to enjoy the simple things in life, like my monring coffee, a movie or a cool video game, really relax me and bring me back to reality (away from all the looks)

Once you also realize u can still looksmax while doing other stuff, then youll feel better (realizing u dont need to focus on that 24/7 to improve)

You’re the one deciding to base your fulfillment on how you look. If you can’t get there just give up and do something else with your life.

I'm not actively deciding to base anything on my looks. I wish I could stop caring about my appearance and what other people think about it. Wouldn't anyone want that?
It's like my brain has permanently attached my self-esteem with looks.
It's not something I've chosen, at least not consciously.

Ofc you’re always going to care about the way you look but that doesn’t mean you have to not feel “fulfilled” because of it.
