My work friend (mid-40s, ish?) basically never went to a dentist his entire life and lost most of his front bottom teeth over the years, just had one last one hanging on. Recently he got back on grindr for the first time in a long while, and this gave him the spur he needed to finally get a pair of pliers and yank the last one out with his own hands, so he can suck people off better. Contemplating this as moral inspiration, I feel like we sometimes shrink from human connection because we don't feel good enough, but then going out and making those connections can be the very thing that gives us the strength to change ourselves for the better.
