Do people really not find themselves attractive? I like how I look quite a bit. Like I'm not going to wank off to my reflection or anything but I like my natural shape and I like that I generally stay fit enough to look relatively close to my best potential version of myself. I have lots of physical faults and I am well aware that not everyone, or even most people will be attracted to me but overall I genuinely like how I look.

Think it's just the subtle difference between having self esteem and narcissism. I have the opposite problem where I don't care enough about my appearance to bother with much. Would be easier to stay in shape if I was disgusted by what I saw so I could use that as motivation to eat better and exercise more. Same reason why casinos don't have mirrors.

I used to be like that. I got quite overweight but was still fine with what I looked like so didn't really care. I tend to put fat on very evenly, so I was fat but with a nice enough shape, so not too bothered. I was pretty lucky to fall into a sport that I absolutely love right before middle age. So I started taking care of my body to be the best I can be at that. How I look is secondary to how I perform but I'd be a liar if I said that how I look now doesn't make me happy. And that I don't have a massive sense of relief that I pulled out of my unhealthy habits before menopause fucked up my chances to get myself on track.
