Message to Jack (Face IQ vid)

Jack, no generation of any species ever has undertaken the societal scrutiny that humans today do. Even though humans are one of the hardiest and adaptive species, of course this toxic and unbearable environment in Western society is gonna mess with any teenagers brain. I'm 15 myself, and have been in the LM/bp space for about 2 1/2 years, and its led me to some extremely dark places similar to you, but I think what Frost said held a lot of truth. The only meaningful measure of success is happiness, not man-made basketball, not how attractive you are(although admittedly, these are cheap ways to find joy). Although this is a classic "cope", trying really hard to ignore other peoples judgement can bring sanctuary. Finding something you love, and couple of good friends truly is lifesaving. Just a year ago I attempted, and now since them I have found my passion of connecting to nature, and a couple of great friends to share it with. Am i still ugly and talentless? Yes. Will I ever find a partner without serious hardmaxxing? Unlikely. But I've gotten so enraptured by my hobbies that I don't really care and am quite happy now, probably just as much as the popular kids whom I once envied desperately. You should focus on something that brings you meaning and happiness, and go all in. Its incredibly hard to do a complete 180 on your mindset, but I promise its worth it. Maybe you are hopeless, but you're playing a game that was literally designed to randomly choose losers and discard them. Play a different game. Sometimes following our biology is needless. Don't drown in your own misery - otherwise your grave is inescapable.
