I mean shit happens anon, I don't know what to tell you. People got through far worse shit. Also just because some dickhead wanted to poke at you as a kid it doesn't mean everyone else was like this too. Today in schools people that chimp out at others will be dealth with pretty quickly.
>these activities are dominated by attractive guys and girls
They are really not, protip: most people on average don't look like internet photos, that is simple advertisement, for instance you don't want your lingerie products to be advertised by some fat woman instead of the hottest model you can find.
Just go there and find out. Worst case scenario you will never come back if feel like you are out of place there so you lose nothing.
I'm not sure about whatever trauma (or whatever it is) you had and what cause it but I assure you that you look just normal, nothing a surgeon wouldn't be able to fix anyway if you think you need that.
Also what is it about social skills that's making them so special, the "game" if you will.
Most people live boring lives going through the motions, they will be happy if you ask about how their day went and whatever, it's literally just a normal conversation that's virtually the same as the one you are having right now in this thread. As long as you don't stutter and panic when you talk you will be fine.
Just stop falling for doomer/r9k/incel/pol memes on 4chan, that's all.
Are looks important? Sure, it makes things easier. Are looks all there is to a person? Absolutely not, just tamper your expectations. Rolling your balls to someone way out of your league will be looked at as weird, anything else is fine.
