Can't go wrong being a dolphin. I hear even sharks are afraid of them.

yeah dolphins pretty much have it made. They are fast, beautiful, they have sex for fun, and yeah sharks aren't much of a threat to them. Best animal/mammal ever.
Even outcast animals that are alone are better off than humans being alone. They don't have the thought processes like we do. Another good point is that they all look the same to each other basically. We have so many different styles. Society is oversaturated, over-advanced, etc we're just going down the wrong path. One day food will just be pills.

For me, the fact that I'm very shy is the most often judged thing about me. But I do see what you are saying about the appearance thing, people can treat you differently if you look like you take care of yourself.

The dark colour under the eyes is called "bags under the eyes".
I generally don't care much for grooming, but whether I do it or not,
it's obvious that making an effort to smile (slightly) and stand straight really do make people give you a chance. Everyone looks better when they smile.
(Though I can see that if I did that in a ripped shirt, unbrushed hair and full beard it'd look more than just a little bit creepy).

This is a fact. Actually I think right now is the most accepting time to look different. At least right now it is not accepted fact that rich people are better than poor people. As a whole, society doesn't accept that anymore.
I'm not talking about wearing fancy clothes or jewelry to show our social status. I'm basically talking about looking clean and healthy... If you treat yourself like garbage people will treat you like that too, and they will talk to you as someone who doesn't deserve so much respect.

Yes, "purist" is a word, but it is not used in this way. I think you mean "purely in my own right", or "purely as myself", or "purely by being myself".

We teach other people how to treat us
If we we don't care enough about ourselves or others to clean ourselves up and look our best, why should they care enough to give us their best in return?
If you look like a bum, you'll be treated like a bum
if you act like a thug, you'll be treated like a thug
can you honestly expect anything different?

My appearance is meaningless right now anyways. The only time I go out is to get groceries at the grocery store and to donate plasma. I don't have a job. So I am a bum, and I dress like it with an unshaven face, sweat pants, and a hoodie. It would be silly to care about my appearance right now, unless of course i'm going to a job interview or turning in an application. I shower, put deodorant on, and brush teeth every day, so it's not like i smell bad. I think what I'm doing right now with my appearance makes sense. It would be silly to shave every day and worry about clothes when I don't need to. So in certain situations such as mine, having a semi-bad appearance is easier.

or....
maybe if you cared about yourself more
and put the energy into looking good, feeling good, taking good care of yourself
it might translate into other positive things happening in your life
like getting a job, etc....
But you are talking like someone who is not a social phobic.
The "I don't give a f... about others" kind of attitude is great, but if you really have social phobia I doubt that you feel this way because we care a LOT about others and their opinions.
People treat me better when I have a descent presentation and since I have severe social phobia, I think it helps.

okay...well we can not shave our face, look like a bum and still care what people think about us... It's still in our heads. But we don't let it overwhelm us to the point where we freak out and go "OMFG I CAN'T BE SEEN WITH HAIR ON MY FACE. HEAVEN FORBID OMG I MUST SHAVE ASAP." We just hope that people will see past our bummish appearance. Not like it matters since I talk to exactly zero people on the outside. Sometimes an awkward nod here and there, that's about it. If I shave, I'll still nod awkwardly, and in fact I'll hate myself MORE because I look like GARBAGE with a babyface. Maybe not to others, but I can't stand being seen without facial hair covering my face...
I think I saw your picture, you don't look like a bum.
I'm not talking about wearing suits or expensive watches. All I'm saying is for us to try too look healthy and clean in our jeans. Yeah, you can have your beard, just don't forget that people will be more receptive and treat you better if you have a decent presentation. It's good for confidence.
