This post is way too far reaching my dude
You're asking an everything post and it's not going to yield you clear answers
AskTRP isn't supposed to be a "tell me every answer to everything in one post" forum
Most of this could be search barred (career question searches etc)
You should really use the search bar for whatever can be search bar searched from this, where there will be far more answers and already answered questions
And you should read the sidebar if you haven't
You should spread out whatever remaining questions can be found in the search bar on different posts over time
The looksmaxx and stupid stuff like limb lengthening is NOT red pill. Most of it is popular cult black pill bullshit

You need to work on thinking for yourself. We do not have all the answers and answers are subjective. Decide what you want and take steps to make it happen. Looksmaxxing is for cowards and leg lengthening surgeries are for true insecure idiots. It is a surgery that won't help you get women.
Make decisions and work on one thing at a time.

Who the fuck says height and looks do not matter much ???
Height is nice but you can't change it so whatevs.
Looks/weight: if you are short term dating (ie not providing) then looks and weight is 50% of the game and honestly it's the easy 50%.
If you are providing then obviously money matters, but this leads to marriage and not sex, so fuck that shit.
Getting girls is:
Noone is saying height and looks don't matter. They matter A LOT. Ask any woman how much looks matter and just watch her try to find ways to lie about it.

By looks and height I mean above average not ugly to look at but not a model too

I completely disagree. The again we both have a vastly different world view and that helps give contrast to the guys asking on here. I managed to do quite well when I was poor and out of shape. I got by in personality alone. If I can do it, so can other guys. This idea that you have to check off a bunch of boxes is incredibly defeatist and really just falls into black pill tropes. It all insecurity based as truth.
If your ever been on Feeld, or really out in a major city you will notice that there are a lot of average or even downright fugly guys with hot women.
Sitting here making an impressionable guy feel like he's inadequate is poor leadership and simply ignores an individual's strengths.
Let's agree to disagree. The nice part of posting on here is that OP can parse the info he feels is relevant. I feel that it's healthy to have disagreements such as this.

Personality is not much easier to change than looks.
Getting women nowadays is heavily centered around fast life history traits.
It's an evolutionary tradeoff against the dependable, father-type man. It's a rare man that can do both...

The number of people I see on here saying look looksmaxxing doesn’t matter or is cope is ridiculous. It’s obviously important, otherwise no one would be talking about it. Doesn’t matter if it’s black pill, red pill, or fucking birth control pill.
Two Broad Categories of Looksmaxxing:
Yes, hardmaxxing (getting surgeries) is dumb as fuck. And height essentially cannot be changed safely. 99% of men should not be looking at any cosmetic surgeries. Barring some horrific facial disfigurement, you are in that 99% OP.
Softmaxxing is super important and actually good for you. Some of the things in this window even red pill guys say are mandatory: lifting (improves physique), eating well, dressing and grooming properly, etc. Know this: if someone says looks looksmaxxing is useless/cringe, but then recommends gym, diet, haircut, and fashion, they are recommending the softmaxxing side of looksmaxxing. Which again, I think is good and healthy for you, with or without women.
For more on Soft- and Hardmaxxing, I found this nice write-up. It comes with a rough plan for how you should approach this too. Hint: start with softmaxxing. https://looksmaxxers.com/pages/softmaxxing-vs-hardmaxxing-whats-the-difference
Last, game and status are also super important. Those are just harder to develop than getting a haircut or a surgery. We just see an overemphasis on looksmaxxing because people in general are less and less socially adept, thanks to internet culture. And unwilling to put in the reps to become game-competent.

As for you OP, you don’t need to worry about looksmaxxing. You have SO much else to worry about first. From the frantic posting habits we have seen, you need to get your mental health in order. They way you are now, even if you were a male supermodel, just talking for 30s is likely to drive away any interested girls.
You’ve gotta work out how to process your traumatic events. I don’t know how exactly, as that stuff hasn’t happened to me, but not doing so will totally fuck up your inner mental state, and therefore game.
As for your life goal and what to do if not marriage, you are a young guy and you need to figure that out on your own. You don’t need to do it for all your life at once; just start with a goal for this year (like properly processing your traumas in a therapeutic practice, or benching X kgs by the end of 2026).
You really aren’t at the point where you need to worry about deep philosophical meanings in life, or what happens to the dead. Right now, as you are alive, day-to-day, I sense you aren’t well. Worrying about what god has in store for all of humanity is pointless until you have your own shit in order day-to-day.
———
Last, OP, if you are really doing all that stuff in your progress section, just stick with it and keep improving there. You’ve been posting about this stuff several times this month. But you gotta be patient. You were (and still are) in bad all around life shape. That shit isn’t gonna be fixed in just 1 month. Focus on improving your day-to-day habits and you will be fine. Rome was not built in a day, and neither will you.

And a few pointers for some of your questions which are good in my opinion…
Career? My opinion is that certain jobs balance low stress and making money fairly well. I’m in a tech job right now and in that situation. Stress will also depend on which country you work in. If you are in India right now, I guess that stress at a tech job is much higher, than say, Europe, which I guess would be very low stress. You could also look at finance or some other corporate role.
As for disrespectful family member, the best thing (in my opinion, coming from the US), is to distance yourself from that person. This might mean: moving out from your parents’ house, taking fewer phone calls from this person, or attending fewer family gatherings. But if you are based in Punjab and only 20, not sure how much you can do this, both culturally and financially.
