Being ostracized and beat up from an early age for looks and height, despite not coming to terms with my ugliness lead me to at first hyper fixate on the ability to fight as a male. Mainly to make up for my lack of height, not automatically being imposing. As we may know, being able to fight (especially as a man) is seen high socially (ESPECIALLY during school) and can easily make men think twice before messing with you.
Knowing this I focused on training Muay Thai/Wrestling and building muscle, I even wanted to get a career in MMA because of how admirable it is to the male mind. I hyper fixated on this, it was an obsession or a dream of mine to become an MMA fighter. And to be honest, this dream in the first place is the result of genetic determinism. There would be no desire to go fight people for money & status if I was given social value and height from birth.
That's when shit changed
Eventually I came to terms with my ugliness after this looksmaxing and the black pill became more mainstream a few years ago, I realized the importance of looks and genetics after being exposed to tons of empirical evidence/statistics, and anecdotes.
I'm obsessed with my looks now after reflecting on my life and interactions with women, and now I want to get a few surgeries done on my face when I turn 18. I don't even care that much about MMA anymore even though I thought I was a lot more stubborn, I've missed a few classes. Skipped a few workouts, I'm still decently fit, don't get me wrong.
But I don't have the same drive anymore for my hobbies anymore, I'm perfectly ok with giving up MMA if I have to unlike my past self. Now not looking good is something I'm not settling for, I'd rather perish by my own hands
--------
TLDR; I used to value physical dominance (fighting, height, "presence") this lead me to an obsession with becoming an MMA fighter. But the black pill shadowed this dream of mine, and I'm at a loss of ambition.
How can I get this drive back for my passion? The black pill is too real but it also focuses too much on the unfair parts of life, which are also the important important parts of life.
