Dear Felix,

Right now i’m trying to improve my facial looks… may i share about it?

As i feel i have several facial features due to genetics that makes me unattractive.

You’ve already shared about one of your front teeth, which is bent backwards, which makes you feel unattractive:

One of my front teeth’s position is in backwards… so everytime i smile… in the picture it’ll look like i have a missing tooth. I’m a person who tends to complain.. i’m worried that if i get braces later on i’ll complain… because if i really use braces i think the dentist will sacrifice that one tooth (backwards position) to be able to place the braces…. So if i stop before finishing my braces completely… i’ll have a missing front tooth…. And i believe if i stop midway like that.. and i have a missing tooth.. it’ll cause myself a lot of anxiety later on…

Right there you’ve described your problem very well: you are a person who tends to complain and worry about things. You are unhappy with your tooth being bent backward, but you also worry that if you decide to wear braces, you’d be unhappy too. So you are “damned if you do and damned if you don’t”, as the saying goes. With your current mindset, there is unfortunately nothing I can tell you that can help you become more satisfied with your looks. You’ll worry about something regardless.

That’s why, Felix, I can’t help you while you are in your current mindset. You’d need to change the mindset, i.e. work on your low self-esteem, because that’s the only way to stop obsessing about your perceived “inadequacies”.
