Would it be acceptable to work hard & refrain from socialising until I look the way I want to look?

I would like you to read and then share your thoughts..

Any explaining on my question is, facially, i've been recessed due to environmental and unfortunate circumstances I was unaware of. And also I believe my orthodontist was unaware of when I was 16. I am now 20. I had known about facial development in a puberty sense before coming to this site, but it has made me very aware of my case. Quite frankly, I do need surgery if I want to realise my dreams.

Like I said I am recessed, my maxilla is recessed and my mandible is only slightly recessed. I have a higher than average gonial angle, and slight downward growth. It is more than likely due to improper breathing and tounge posture, but that is only minimal because I don't really carry any of the "mouth breather" traits. I've had TMJ since a kid, and my orthodontist (in my opinion) restricted further facial growth by not widening my palate. But, it isn't "over". I would say I am still an attractive guy, I have a handful of good physical traits that recieves compliments and I know what I am but I know what I'm not. I know what I could have been, if my face developed "normally" I am a reasonable man and understand how much your appearance has on your interactions with life. That is what strips me of my confience, self esteem, and sometimes perception. Recently I have been dealing with facial body dismorphia. The quote from Ultron in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" can often send me into a depressed mood, "I was meant to be new, I was meant to be beautiful" because I know my ideas aren't being listened to the best they could because of the way I look, I have the product but I can't communicate the product. I want to help the world and change it for the better.

My question being would it be acceptable to work hard, save money on the side for surgeries aswell as for important things and just completely not "go out" or partake in any socialising. I still play sports (basketball, football, touch rugby) but am considering this lifestyle.

This is my first original thread, I've lurked really on this site for sometime before recently making an account. I can share a laugh and take a joke on here but I would like someone else's thoughts. Any thoughts please!

No, by the time you're done with the looksmaxxing, you might find that your social skills have atrophied, you need to keep them intact, so go out there, talk to people, hang out with them, jestermaxx if you have to, etc...

You do not have to disconnect yourself from society to save up for surgery or to looksmax in any way

Live life man while you still can

I know, I exaggerated a small deal in the post of not socialising. Close friends and new friends i'll still be with, and i'll still be doing the activities I love doing. Just not the ones where first impressions on my appearance will be the most crucial. Thanks for your comment

That's what I used to think :LOL: but as long as I am reasonable and control my feelings then I'm unlikely to make any hasty decisions
 
Keep the activities u love doing

This is literally just bdd or depression imo, or ur being too high inhib

Yes, absolutely. Think about how you look now, and compare it with how you know you can look. Would you want to demean yourself with the former, or outdo yourself with the latter?

Yes, but maintain social interaction. I’ve tried just shutting everyone out but you lose social skills (atleast I did) and u gotta work to get those back n it sucks. I would still go play sports n shit cause it’s good cardio and what not. But going out to party is a waste of time if you say your really going to try and save money for surgeries ect

This seems to be the main theme, losing social skills. What did it feel like losing them or trying to regain them? Thanks for your comment.

U don’t really notice losing them until you try to socialize. It’s like a skill, the less you do it the more you lose it. Regaining them took time and it was frustrating but you’ll always get the ability back if you try hard enough. We’re social animals yk

I agree entirely. If it was ever so to happen, i'll try my hardest to regain it. Thanks
 
Depends on your start point.
Back when I had stained teeth I skipped going out with female friends and their social circle.
If you look okay then you're missing out on interactions that might get you laid.

Was in the same boat as you 1yr ago. Altho the concepts you've listed may sound logical on paper, but really it's a long span of time you're gonna be sacrificing. Took about a whole year for me to looksmaxx(gym/skin/fashion). I'd say stick with what youre doing currently and give some time to the other things around you. Also by the time you ascend, you can atleast appreciate who has stuck by your side and who are snakes
 
Acceptable to who? In what way?
