No worries. I've got a sort of bad COVID these days, with severe pain symptoms. My brain is hardly working. so at this moment I also don't know what to say.

Thank you for reading my PM anyway.

How are you? Some COVID issues with you and the people around?

Yeah the covid is breaking out now and a lot of people are suffering from covid.
Even myself can't exempt from this.
I was suffering from some symptoms of covid indeed days ago.

Wish you a fast recovery! Stay strong!

I think it's not a big deal but for some people it may be troublesome.

Ontopic: if this is your ugliest photo than you're one of the handsome boys in China. If you're not very short you don't have a big looks issue (like me, for example. I am almost 50% bald, I got some little wrinkles and I have some white beard. Almost nobody is going to like me compared to you but I do gymmaxx and healthmaxx (edumaxx as usual) so I hope there will be more luck for me later.)

It is really ugliest photo so that it is bugging me per sec

[Zhang Jie]

I think Zhang Jie is too strict to himself. When now I can see clearly the photo: on this one he looks even better than the first one. Can't think of a problem (except, really if he's a midget (aka gigashortcel) or disabledcel, or poorcel).

I don't think it is better than that ID photo for the forementioned reasons.
I feel inferior everytime I see this photo

You know, everyone has own taste. For example, the skinhead style: some people don't like themselves shaved but others may think they look better when they're shaved.

I hope you're not going to waste your life over a photo (that some people like but you dislike). Don't you think that even a minute spend for something else (as to learn new English word or to earn some mao online) worth more than self-pity over a photo?

Jack Ma (Ma Yun) isn't handsome. Can you imagine what he will be today if he spent his youth thinking about his ugliest photo?

By the way, I remember that you're one of those people who're smart enough and aware of (have knowledge about) that there are also many normies who have girlfriends and you're not going to be single forever (because you're about the normie level in many sides), so then what's the problem if you don't like yourself enough? if you can achieve the goal to be a noncel (to escape the inceldom at some point in the future) than everything should be okay, isn't it?

 I got some idea -- maybe this endless "I am not handsome enough! My photo is ugly." is a similar mechanism to the never satisfied and greedy for results tiger mom: "More! Do it better! Not enough! Continue! Next time you should make it double! Push! Go on!"
 All this pressure is causing stress and not always leading to results you want because maybe counter-productive.

No. Just feel sad because it became my student ID photo.
I am really wondering why this photo is better than the previous personal ID photo, I thought it was way worse than that.

 Don't worry. Nobody cares about your student ID photos. The thing that really matters is how do the people perceive you face-to-face.
 Think about it: you're having 2 female colleagues: Mary A. and Mary B. Mary A. is pretty as angel but she has got an ugly student ID photo. Mary B. is ugly as hell but she got a pretty ID photo (because of some PS skills or just because she is photogenic). And now here comes the moment of the truth: You're meeting the pretty Mary A. and the ugly Mary B. Who do you like more? The pretty, of course and you don't give a damn about her photo! The ugly one you dislike and even 1223876384638921264812641289643821746287346198 pretty photos aren't able to change your view and she will be "the ugly Mary B." in your eyes forever! As a person with a good IQ, can you understand well all this? Sure you can. And I hope you'll stop thinking about some photo when everything is about your actual look.
