Well, firstly I would like to say that I am quite insecure about how I look, which is reflected in a couple of old threads I have made, and is prevalent in this thread too. Basically every morning I have to wash my eyes for a few minutes with a flannel in order to look a lot better throughout the day. If I don't do this, I look really rough and terrible throughout the whole day; I don't seem to start looking better as the day goes on naturaly like most people do after they wake up. Is it that unusual that I have to go through this ritual to look half decent for the day? Note that it only works if done around an hour after waking up, it is useless if done immediately after waking. What concerns me is that I won't always be able to do this. I'm off to Uni in October and if I have early lecture starts I won't be able to go through this routine, and will worry that people are staring at me because of how bad I look, and worse this will badly affect my chances with women, which is already bad enough as it is. I know I should be more secure in how I look, and just not go through this charade every morning in order to improve my self-esteem. What do you guys think? Thanks for any help.
