I'm leaving Looksmax.org due to concerns over my mental health.
I joined in early September, which feels like an eternity ago. When I first joined, I was confident in my appearance, I thought I was good looking aside from my ears, which ironically enough turned out to matter the least.
Over the course of just three weeks, I began to notice changes in myself and my outlook on life. I judged people by their looks, thinking I was smarter and more informed, so it would make sense to use this newfound power to get what I wanted. At least, that's what I thought.
I posted threads on this site and places like r/Truerateme with titles asking people to judge my flaws, looking for the "hit" that being told the truth would bring. It felt good at first, and I would tell myself I was doing it to stay motivated to keep Looksmaxing.
That was a lie.
Up until about 12 days ago, I was in this death spiral of getting comments about how ugly I was, how my nose was enormous and made me look like a kike, and treated ugly people worse because I thought I was better than them. I became a person who I really did not want to be, and it started to affect the few friends and family members I spoke with.
This all came to head when I happened up Jordan Peterson's videos on Nihilism. He talked about having a purposeful life, finding something worth living for, and taking care of yourself and others. Fuck, I don't think I slept much that night, thoughts racing around my head about what my life would be like in a year, two years, a decade if I continued to think and act this way.
I made a deal with myself that I would take some time off of my daily routines, and try some normie stuff.
I began slowly blocking/disabling the Incel sites I would visit. I listened to old school love songs from the 50's, and started drawing again. My relationships with women improved, and I made more friends and became more social than I have in my entire life.
So to summarize, this isn't about the Blue, Red, or Blackpill. It's about the type of Man I want to become, and the life I'd like to live. If you feel that the Pills or this site has helped you become a better, happier person, then by all means, keep using them. I just don't think the best version of myself is the person this site turned me into.
I'd like to thank the Moderating team, especially @11gaijin, for their hard work on keeping this site alive. I can't forget to thank the Slayer Squad, who've been supportive when I needed help the most, @Littleboy for reminding me that Incels are just as diverse in thought as normal people, and to all the others who I've spoken to along the way, thank you for everything. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you find happiness wherever it leads.
Best Regards, Tricky.
