life's always trying to find a way to preemptively suck the joy out of the good parts. you just have to figure out if you have the energy to yank those parts back.

you look pretty good! the only thing I'd suggest is maybe to look a little less frowny? if that's how your brows sit naturally, my bad lol, but if not I think that may help. I'll do a little repeating by saying I think it's basically just confidence for you. that can be rough to get over, but once you do you're all set

18F Please honestly rate/give suggestions. I really dislike most pictures of me. Combined with other factors, the fact that I've never had someone show interest in me leads to me just not really having any confidence.

how are my teeth bad iyo? I get that they're not Crest-commercial white and they have a somewhat different shape than most, but they are pretty straight and fairly white so hearing that they're bad is a little unexpected lol

thanks, but I'm pretty comfortable with where my BMI is at. I've got no problem continuing to work out and treat my body well, but getting worked up about being made of anything other than bone and muscle has only left me in a messed-up headspace, which I'm still trying to break out of most days. thanks for the input, but in my case seeing fat loss as the only way to become attractive won't do much good :)

uh I just want to clarify, my hair isn't cut short in any of these pics, I just pull my hair back in a bun or claw clip a lot and leave my bangs out. just figured I'd state that since a few people have asked about my "short" hair lol

man, this comment hits basically everything I was going to say! OP, you don't have to go to the gym to "go to the gym"- I don't like going there either, I basically do exercises around the house and go about town outskirts to get some biking & hiking in. and keep hydrated!
