I'm not sure if anybody relates, but I wanted to make this post since I have nothing else to do.
I hate having to be fixated on only one superficial thing, which is my appearance. This is the longest fixation I've had since I was late 14, I think it's contributed to my ASD, and the neglect I've faced in my adolescence (Not asking for pity). It's my daily coping mechanism to believe that once I reach the specific status I want, I'll finally be able to gain that attention, care and peace I've always been searching for.
But at the back of my mind, I know this isn't true, and even if I do, I will eventually encounter other insecurities which I will fixate on; I constantly live in a hypothetical future, not the present.
I know that I am fully dedicated to improving my appearance: planning, researching, and strategising what would benefit me. Any time I receive a sum of money, it's always put towards my looks. When it comes to anything else, I'm not motivated whatsoever; I don't care, whilst at the same time I do. I just wish this fixation would be applied to other things.
I have an upcoming Engineering exam. I had two weeks to revise everything I've covered, but I decided to blame it on lame excuses: "Oh, it isn't the right time because I need to fix my sleeping schedule!" It's just that I am so distracted by one singular thing that I can't control.
Worst of all is that I'm hyper aware of everything I'm doing, but I choose not to do anything or change. I often wonder if I'm going to always stay like this.
