I wanted to get on here and be real for a minute. Ascending after being genuinely chopped has been mentally and socially… interesting.
When I was younger, I remember asking girls for their snap just to be friends, and they’d instantly reject me, even though I wasn’t trying anything romantic. I was always a bit neurodivergent and got bullied for it. My only coping mechanism was jestermaxxing, which had its limitations.
Over the past couple of years, I stopped being a gymcell and put real effort into fixing myself facially. I didn’t even realize I had “ascended” until other people started pointing it out. Now I get complimented constantly, sometimes get free food at restaurants, and networking for business has become way easier. Socially, everything flipped.
I don’t have to jestermax as much anymore, and I can be autistic without it tanking my social value, people still respond well. But honestly, the attention feels weird. I’m not used to it, and I don’t feel great about seeing others get treated the same way I used to. It makes the contrast really obvious.
I’m grateful, for sure, but also humbled by where I came from. Curious if anyone else went through something similar, how did it affect you mentally and socially after ascending?
