In my opinion, the worst part of being in the process of looksmaxxing after embracing the blackpill is not the efforts you go through, the risks you take, the hatred and pain at looking at your face in the mirror, the struggles of not eating, or even the depressing realization that people (girls mostly) do not care about you or your personality, but rather your appearance, or seeing couples around while you remain alone (this one comes close though).
It's the fear of whether you will actually ascend or not, whether you will actually become an HTN or stay capped at L-MTN.
For example, I have been seriously looksmaxxing since last year, leanmaxxing, hitting the gym and lifting, tretinoin for skin, finasteride for hair, ordering peptides, the whole package. I know my face has visually improved, I can see it, others can see it, I can somewhat see girls glance at me more often. I'd say I've gone from a genuine subhuman (or LTN) to at least LMTN or MMTN (depends kind of on my location too kinda, I got lucky since in my state I'm average height/tallish, but in Western Europe I would've likely had to rope), and I can't say I'm not grateful for that "ascension", I can literally see my bones slightly sharper and more visible, I have rid myself of my former skinny-fat physique and it feels nice knowing I'm not completely repulsive anymore.
But the fact remains that one of my deepest fears is that someday I will reach my body fat % goal (~12%), but I'll discover that I am basically hardcapped at MTN by my bone structure (hardmaxxing is hardly a financially feasible option as a teen). Or an identical fear, that I simply will never reach that body fat level (my progress has been stagnating recently and it's pretty demotivating). I'd like to at least reach H-MTN or L-HTN, that would be something I could be satisfied with, at heart and the whole core of why I started all this is just to feel a foids warmth and love, and to escape being an incel. I feel a slightly increase sense of urgency now because I turn 20 next year as well. What do you guys think? Anything you guys think about to assuage these fears or re-motivate yourselves?
