Quick rundown: I'm 26, ugly, and deformed. Virgin and almost friendless. I feel anxiety when I move around a university campus out of fear someone may make fun of my deformities. I have largely enough money to pay for surgery.
Surgery sounds like an obvious choice, but I feel very lukewarm about it. Here are the arguments against surgery:
- Risk of failure (ending up worse than before, or not better enough to justify spending half a hundred thousand)
- Risk of dying during surgery (due to hemorrhage or general anesthesia)
- Reaction of family (they'll think I'm vain)
- Risk of feeling even worse afterwards (now I feel serene about my inceldom because I know I have 0 chance... But if I start to believe I have some chances, I may end up a mentalcel, which is far worse because you feel responsible for it)
- Risk of guilt: if I get surgery and my life vastly improves, I would feel guilty about all my incel friends who can't afford surgery and are thus condemned to miserable lives until the grave while I experience great happiness
