hello! i've just found this site, and it looks like a very nice group! i've been hoping to join a site like this for a long time, so here goes...
my self-esteem issues go way back. i've never been "good enough," and when puberty came along i also realized that i'll never be attractive enough for anyone to like me. those thoughts have been ruling my life ever since, and that's a very long time!
my self-esteem is totally dependent on my appearance, which leaves me with none. i can't participate in conversations or meet new people because i know what they're thinking, and i just can't bear it.
people tell me i'm smart, funny, creative etc, but what good is that? those things aren't valued in today's society. (they'll tell you they are, but i have yet to truly see it)
i can't confide in anyone, because they think i'm just "fishing for compliments." i feel comfortable on the internet, but would like desperately to have a real life.
