Sometimes I have this urge to actually learn something and to pick up some skill but then this thought immediately ends with "...honestly, to somebody as ugly as me this has little to no utility".
Even if you force yourself to do something, this little bit of conjured faux motivation (e.g. "you can't just do nothing!") deflates as soon as you reach any kind of a real hurdle--this is very apparent with languages: you can learn kid material with ease ("Spanish for apple is manzana"), it can actually be fun, but once you start introducing complexity like verb tenses, you just nope the fuck out.
I also hate this normie platitude of the importance of hard work when it's easy to see that true innate talent exists in everything. Sure, many people can work up from the gutter to utter mediocrity, but to me both are ugly, just in different ways.
This striver character is a dishonest, sniveling creature who exists only to take up air and space from the people who actually matter.
