pig, thanks for the reply. The reason for the thread:
When I was a kid and didn't care, girls thought I was a dork, and they rarely spoke to me. But, as soon as I started to care about how I looked, girls liked me.
I'm concerned that if I accept myself however I am, I may revert back to that person who didn't care about clothes and hair and all that stuff. And then the girls will no longer like me. And I will not live up to the potential I could be because I was told I should accept myself whether my hair is part, left messy, or smells like shit.
Adding on to that - you could argue that if I think my hair smells, I should clean it. But, if I think it looks bad, shouldn't I change that too? Shouldn't I be unaccepting of what I deem bad? But here again, I'm relying on my feelings to make decisions. This after I was told my feelings are wrong.
If my hair looks bad, I'm supposed to accept that.
But if it smells bad, I'm supposed to change? Maybe I should force my smeller to like the smell, just as I'm forcing myself to like what what I don't.
