Let that sting you, and then try to realize that there’s no point in caring about them. They could be living their best life or worst life in that body and it has no effect on you. They’re a made up thought in your head, or a random face in the crowd. You live every other moment of your life without their influence or the influence of that body. You don’t need that body to eat, you don’t need it to walk, you don’t need it to play games. It’s just there. A hopeful goal that everyone has, but not something you should actively hate yourself for not being.
What stings me even more than that is how people can get a job that I can’t just because they led a more lucky life than I have. It makes my blood boil to such a point that I literally feel insufferable physical pain whenever I see someone more successful than me, like what do you mean you get what I want when I don’t?
here’s the question: did i even get to spend all my stat points at all? (no = objectively inferior body, such as those with missing limbs or life threatening genetic diseases)
I like to consider myself pretty lucky in terms of given body and body potential, even though I’m ugly as heck. The reason for that is that the beauty standard for people of my caliber is so unrealistically high that no human ever achieves it, so ignoring it is the only way to be happy.
No, you didn’t. Life’s not fair, and some people will have it objectively better than you. That’s an objective, immutable truth of reality.
And some people will have it so much worse that you don’t even want to think about how you’d manage as them.
My advice? Stop thinking as to what you could do with your body and start thinking as to what you can do with your mind. Last I checked, there are no inherit advantages in being a 6’8" killing machine in writing Flesh Armored Vanguards. Who you are takes precedence over what you are in matters of making something, and obsessing over what you could’ve been detracts from who you’re trying to be.
Damn… wait, how do I or you for 100% certainty know if I spent them all? Or we don’t know for sure? Does this only count biological or also societal circumstance?
No one on this forum is affording cosmetic surgery let’s be real. And I think you’re making cosmetic surgeries seem like a one-sided fix here. I hate my own body but cosmetic surgery is so fake, artificial, expensive and personally I’d rather not be assorted into the category of people who get that type of surgery. Plus it can affect health and not in a “I’m 6,8 and I’m about to squeeze you to death between my fingers” type way
