A week ago I went to the dentist after 10 years... my biggest worry was "what will he think?". I started brushing my teeth regularly a few years ago. Half a year ago I started getting physically fit and I am not going to stop.

The reason why I didn't do it before was because I didn't love myself. I am going to therapy for a month and only lately I realized how my approach to life is wrong. So, no, I don't think there is any basis in your claim.
