Imagining a situation never occurred. Accepting your looks?
How you stop these thoughts?
'If that hadn't happened, this situation wouldn't have occurred. So instead I'll imagine an alternative reality where that problem didn't happen'
Thats general question. But more specifically, I'm often thinking it's possible that my appearance was affected by something when I was younger.
say for example you had an accident or you got braces too young and your face didn't develop like you'd expect. This maybe the case. I imagine what life would be like if it developed 'normally'. I feel like you get more respect everywhere. I think peopl laugh at me as I have larger body neck, and good looking top half of face, but comparatively small recessed jaw or 'turkey neck', so ppl may laugh. I may have been good looking if dentist didn't affect forwardgrowth
don't know for suremy face now is naturally how I would have looked, but let's just assume it isn't as I'm convinced when I see myself
looking at old photos is really hard. Thinking what the dentist did frustrates me. And I know this is material and vain. It's not important in life and I don't want ppl to judge looks either, but it comes into head a lot. Maybe I'll just catch a glimpse in mirror and think if only.
Assuming myface has changed
how do I accept tis may be what I look like for rest of life?
(If I was naturally ugly I'd accept. If naturally good looking I'd accept but I don't know if this my genes or external, but I'm grateful anyway)
