Kinda weird realization lately — the better I look, the worse my self-image gets.

Before maxxing I didn’t even think about my face that much. Now every mirror, photo, lighting angle feels like a test. I notice every flaw, asymmetry, bad hair day, etc.

Like yeah, I get more attention and feel more confident in social stuff… but mentally it’s almost worse. It’s like you become hyperaware of your looks once you start caring.

Anyone else feel like the more you “improve,” the less satisfied you actually get?

Feels like there’s no endgame — just a new level of insecurity each time.

Same here

Honestly it's not that I'm insecure, it's more so that I don't know how I will feel about myself in the future


Like I went through so many stages in one year, every time I looked at a picture of me from a month ago I felt like throwing up, cause how tf was I even capable of leaving the house looking like that

And it happened so many times, I feel like I'll look at my current self similarly
