>>85617I'm not religious but I'll try to add stuff in that context, it might help you understand what I mean.
Don't wait for others to ask, or initiate. This goes for social interactions, getting help, anything really. The priest won't ask you directly "are you cutting up your dick while gooning btw?". If you need help on that, you'll have to tell him that. It takes some courage but its necessary in this case. You don't have to get into specifics, just mention that you have an issue with lust, and that its leading you to cutting yourself to try and repent o algo. That should be enough information for the priest to try and help you out on that.
For the last part, you're kinda right. If you are exceptionally handsome, people will be willing to turn a blind eye to any other issues. Nothing else really matters unless you are a giga autist who says the nigger word randomly, everyone will treat you as TV static. Most people are grains of sand in the sea, completely unexceptional, which can be good or bad as nobody really pays attention to you.

Another person I know is crazy intelligent and good looking too, but is distant when it comes to social interactions, nobody hates him but most people treat him the same as any other person, and he only has a couple friends. You really need to hit the bingo of having 0% assburgers, being good looking, and being sociable to have life on easy mode, otherwise these traits will either go ignored or will make your life worse like the social teachers pet guy i mentioned.
Art and music may not be on the scale of heaven in this life, but keep in mind that you are supposed to be made in the image of God. God creates, right? Go create something. You have that capability in you like any other human, use it, otherwise t
