I used to be ltb, while thinking I was a truecel. I would often cry about my looks. I always felt like a monster when walking outside. My face felt heavy and it felt like something foreign that was stuck to me and I couldnt rip it off, even though I wanted to.
People would always be quick to annoyance or anger with me. I was sometimes scared to breathe too loud because people would constantly give me dirty looks for the smallest things.
I remember making a list of life goals and including “be beautiful” thinking that even through plastic surgery, I would barely make human. I was never sad about not having a partner, because it seemed so far away and impossible that it didnt even cross my mind. Instead I was wishing for basic respect and friendship.
The reason I was ugly was not due to genetics, but to my extremely poor health. I didnt eat anything except candy and chips whilst starving myself for years. I only slept when my body completely shut off, and i went outside once a month. I was completely unaware that it was affecting my looks to that degree.
Even though now, I am only hmtb-lhtb, for me thats worth so much more, because I went from not being able to breathe freely, to being able to experience life like the average, and even better than the average. From my perspective, I went from truecel to htb in just a year, even if the truecel was just in my head. I have a partner, friends, and im moving out in a few months. I have an education and real goals. People treat me with more than respect, and are quick to forgive my mistakes.
Im so grateful to be average.
