If I’m not groomed well, cleaned up, wearing proper fitting clothing. Etc. I’ve noticed that it affects my mood tremendously. I have a hard time looking people in the eye, having a conversation, and just have the lowest confidence imaginable. It actually makes me feel really depressed about myself.
This seems to go beyond basic, personal daily care. Like I have to look(or feel) near perfection, in order for me to feel comfortable around people. It leads me to take my personal hygiene, personal care to extreme levels I feel like. Not like insanely obsessive, but something I definitely prioritize maybe too much.
This is a bit much, yes? Or is anyone else like this?
