There's a point where you go deep enough into lookism and you genuinely understand how much looks dictate everything in your life. How people treat you, what opportunities you get, how women respond to you, how much respect you get from other men. Once you cross that line there's NO going back. You can't just pretend you don't know anymore.
And you didn't even choose to wake up. It just happened, and now you're stuck with it. So now what. You either ascend and actually change your situation, or you sit there with full awareness of the game knowing you lost. Thats it. Those are your options.
Thats cope. You can't have real deep knowledge of how this works and then just be happy with a bad hand. Those two things don't coexist. The guys who say they accepted it and they're fine now either didn't go deep enough to really get it, or they're lying to themselves. True understanding of lookism without ascension is just permanent dissatisfaction with a mask on it. You know too much to ever be comfortable again.
Ngl this is probably the worst part. Ignorance was literally bliss and we all voluntarily gave that up. You're not depressed because you're ugly. You're depressed because you KNOW, and knowing without ascending is just a slow bleed with no exit.
Anyone else feel like this or am I cooked lmk
It's like waking up from a dream, except the dream was way more comfortable.

There's no third option where you just "accept yourself" and feel genuinely at peace with it.

The knowledge itself is the burden.
