Yes, that's me

It does matter to me.

I swim 4.5km most days so it helps a lot to look good.
Cannot maintain a relationship I think so for one night stands I am hoping it will help me along if I can just have the guts to pickup better.

So I as wondering, as the title suggests, how much do you care about your physical appearance? Do you care if you're home alone as well as when in public, or only in public? Do you try to stay healthy and fit?

i think i do care about my health though i don't make an effort to stay healthy and fit. the same goes for physical appearance. i care about my physical appearance yet soo lazy, and little motivation to improve my physical appearance. in fact, my mom is the one who's really busy taking care of my appearance. i used to feel that as a real burden (even until now, to some extent), but i've come to realization that it was actually good for me

My apathy doesn't merely reflect my attitudes (or lack thereof) towards a willingness to socialize. While I wouldn't say I've 'let myself go' or anything, I definitely don't place a strict sense of importance on appearing with any means of appeal, if that makes sense. Exercising and eating healthy lasts but only a couple weeks or so until something happens to make me lose complete interest or dedication, yet again. I'm within a the normal weight range in relation to my height, but I wouldn't say I'm healthy by any means. And whether or not I try to look "good", I'm already at a disadvantage for having what's called Klinefelter's Syndrome, which sort of but not really makes me intersex.

It wouldn't be true if I said I haven't adopted my own style or preference in clothing, however, which I most definitely have, but in terms of a strict adherence to being perceived in any esteem, either by myself or by others, I can't say I give much of a damn. I'm gaunt and peculiar, by default, always.

I try to keep myself up. I've had mild body dysmorphic disorder my entire life. I remember being very self-conscious of my looks even as a young child. Not sure this means I'm vain or if its more a neurotic self-consciousness. I think the latter.
