Have you ever coped your way into thinking your good looking?

No but I some how convinced myself I was 5'11,
went to my physical thinking I was 5'11, learned I was only 5'6,
I was shocked.

There are some things that cripple my ability to do that. First and foremost my bald head. Next it's my teeth. My teeth are the first and foremost when my fillings fall (they front teeth one fall if I ever bite with them or sometimes not even that) and I can't go to the dentist to fix them, but once the fillings are replaced then they go back to being my second biggest concern. My acne is mostly gone from my face but there are many pimples on my head that I can't get rid of even after going to the doctor, and with my so thin, so so thin hair and bald spots they're a big concern. My glasses are also a big downside, and my whole eye area is pretty weak but if not for the glasses it would be average somewhat. I'm also physically the worst, I've always been a weak and unathletic kid, it just got worse over the years. Tried going to the gym for 4 months but my frame was shit and I wasn't putting on any muscle so I gave up.

Other than a few other issues I do cope myself into thinking I'm handsome every now and then, especially when the mirror is foggy and/or my glasses are off, but I still have to ignore several glaring issues to think that.

Yeah I kinda thought for a long time I'm 5'11 or 5'10 at the very least. Tbh I kinda avoided taking my measurements for years, and my mom always exaggerated when I did measure once in a blue moon. Turns out I'm 5'9 or so.

It's just Delusion, a protection mechanism of the Ego.

Hard to do that when everyone around you constantly makes fun of your appearance

i still think my face is above average when i look into a mirror but everything else in my life does'nt show that so i know i'm ugly as fuck.
it's just my brain coping, trying not to make me kill myself

how tall are you?

 

[Osentaku Otje]

how tall are you?

172cm, average is a little above 180 here

 

[turbocuckcel_7000]

almost everyone thinks that when they just look into a mirror or something, it's not a fakecel trait to think you're "not so bad", the reality strikes when out in society, people disrespect you and talk over you, including women, and you're not getting anywhere even if you're out of the house 24/7, that's when you start figuring things out

 

[Deleted member 28148]

still trying to call myself 6'0 for the ladies but it doesn't seem to be working even though i take 17 showers a day...

 

[gigacel123]

Not really. Maybe briefly in my 1st year of college I tried to delude myself into thinking I was decent looking and women were just shy or busy. I followed meme advice like dressing good and combing my hair and trying to be funny (I had a lot of soy reddit humor in me back then). But then I quickly realized the true reason why I was alone in college.

Even my bluepilled high school self knew I was ugly. Dont know why I deluded myself for a bit in college.

 

[VindalooCell]

I have tbh, I have not interacted with people outside my family for months now and in isolation I am the master of my own image. Feels good.

It's only natural to cope about your looks. Maybe it is for me because I was raised to see ugly people as lesser.
I would and still do cope that I am good looking, despite everything going against it. Though I am being more and more logical about it the more whitepilled I get.

 

[Loner94]

Lol no never hard to do when your constantly remind your a piece of shit for many years. With lookism constantly hitting you like a frieght train.

-my experience isn't going to make sense to you unless you are a peniscel like me (Because if a girl ever saw my penis she would definitely NOT call it a dick or cock)

I coped so hard when I was a young teenager that I absolutely thought I had a gigantic dick. I honestly thought I was probably more on the larger side. I mean after all, my penis would almost fill up my whole hand. MY WHOLE HAND GUYS! I used to masturbate to 90s porn all the time with big tall blonde studs that are all 11 inches. I guess I watched so much porn that I thought I was one of those guys. One day a kid at school was caught measuring his penis by the teacher. She told him to go throw the ruler away and sent him to the principal. Everyone made fun of him but it got me curious. "Maybe I should measure my dick? I mean the ruler is probably going to look small by comparison LOL" I thought. So I ran home and got out my math ruler before my parents got home. Measured my penis. Or should I say I brought it vaguely up to my penis and automatically knew it wouldn't even go halfway. And I was MAXIMUM hard to boot. I literally didn't masturbate for a few days so I could raise a magnificent bastard. As soon as I vaguely knew it wouldn't go halfway I instantly snapped the ruler and punched the wall and fell on the floor and broke down in tears. My whole dreams shattered. I could never look at porn the same again. Guys literally need 2 or sometimes even 3 hands just to reach around the massive cocks that Chads have.
(And this painful hurt was compounded when I did a measuring contest with a girl in class and realized that my hands are abnormally small to boot. Majority of girls had bigger hands than me fml)

-Then there is the time I thought I had a "Chad" haircut. I went to a Salon that my mom went to. Cute girl hairdresser styled my hair. Clippers. Scissors. Gel. Wax. Hairspray. All that unncecessary shit. She then told me I looked cute and touched my jawline. What I didn't realize is I gave her about $80 for the dam haircut! Of course she was going to say I looked handsome!! But I was coping. I remember styling my hair for about 3-4 months in the same way she did. Eventually I found out the truth. Overheard two female coworkers laugh at me and said how weird I looked with my new haircut.

-Then there was a few weeks right before I started online dating in my 20s. I used to be /fit/ but kinda-sorta knew I wanted to try online dating so I had been doing a lot of extra cardio to look good in my photos. I vividly remember one night taking pictures without a shirt and posing in the mirror. Thinking I was hot shit. No clue why I thought anybody would care since I was a bald manlet regardless of how much I exercised. I had multiple profiles on multiple dating sites for 8 years. No girls ever acknowledged me.

Yeah I do it all the time. One look in the mirror completely demolishes me though so it's a weak cope.

 

[Unsaveable]

Honestly not really.
