    Self-image is a delicate subject, it’s easy to fall into negative loops. So the folks telling you, you look fine as it is…are truthful. You do look fine. You look like a normal-ass human being.

    That said, if you’re looking for small details that can improve your overall composure…a few suggestions:

    • Update the hairstyle to one that requires a bit of effort. Unkept simply looks unkept. A Hairstyle that requires effort will reflect that you are a person that invest effort.

    • Your smile doesn’t reach your eyes. There are a lot of tutorials out there for practicing how to smile in a way that radiates warmth. It has a lot to do with flexing the muscles around your eyes.

    • Selfies are worth practicing. Taking photos of ourselves requires a bit of effort. But it will help inform you to how different angles, and different lighting situations will affect your look.

    You can go a lot deeper in examination of appearance on your own, anything from wardrobe and jewelry choices, to how you posture on, and off-camera.

    But are you ugly? No. You’re just a dude. A normal regular dude.

    Are there things you can do to bring out your best self? Sure. See above…but that doesn’t make you ugly. Bringing out your best self is more like decluttering a room or washing a window. You’re just bringing out and enhancing what you already have.
