i just got into looksmaxxing probably in december of 2025 and it’s really taken a toll on me, i’ve lost all skill to socialize with other people outside of the internet fearing the judgement from someone because i believe i’m too ugly to be seen by anyone i'm not immediate with (like family.) i even dread going outside or taking the trash out fearing someone will see me and and judge me for how i look. the worst part is going to school, i have only 2 friends who don’t even speak to and i don’t really like because they are npc’s and don’t know how to make real conversation. i contemplate going online school or just not going to school anymore.. how do i deal with the social anxiety i feel like this looksmaxxing stuff has really gotten to my head and made me more self conscious than ever.
