>Has fashion helped you guys?
Fashion has helped me a lot. When I was in highschool, getting into trendy shit is what got me from being seen as a nerd to being seen merely as an introvert. Well of course it was one of many other factors, but I am 100% convinced that working on my presentation is what allowed me to finally make "cool" friends and not end up alone and mocked as I was used to until then.

When I started to become interested by menswear and style/fashion theory, the change was noticeable. I gained quite some much needed confidence from the compliments it awarded me. In turn, this confidence ended up in me finally being able to have the courage to flirt with girls, which I used to be afraid of because I did not like what I looked like.

Finally, when I grew out of menswear and got into designers, it gave me the motivation to work on my body. I used to be a pear-shaped twink, which is absolutely incompatible with the style I'm after. Now I am proud of my physical shape. And what gives me the motivation to hit the gym is my reflection in the mirror when I wear shit that used to look ridiculous on me because of my shitty body proportions.

So yeah, fashion contributed a lot to my self-improvement.

>Does it fill that empty space where a gf should be?
It does not, but it helps a lot to find one. Also having a passion, especially one that allows you to express yourself, actually fills some space that would be left empty otherwise.
