Does “looking good” improve how one trains?

I’m asking this question purely from a mental perspective. Right now I’m bulking and I’m making good progress on my training. However, I’ve noticed that I’ve gained a non-insignificant amount of fat, and I’m self conscious about it. Would it be worth it to go on a cut if it meant making less training gains, in order to lose some weight and improve my mental? 6’4 205 male
