Well, for one, I am NOT just begging for compliments or anything. Just a bit of advice.
I'm only thirteen years old, which hopefully should explain my immaturity...
I have jealousy issues. Every time I see someone that's prettier/skinnier than me, I always start to feel a bit down. I'm not sure why, though. I really don't think that I'm too fat. I'm a little chubby, but not bad. I usually don't think that I'm ugly, either. It just gets to me somehow.
Since I'm homeschooled, I really don't have many friends. Only about two or three. I spend most of my time at home, since my parents do not let me sign up for sports or anything. I spend a lot of my time reading or writing, since those are the only things I'm good at. I do go places with my parents sometimes, but that really isn't the same thing as spending times with friends. I used to have a lot of friends, but most of them moved away over the last year or so.
I have very low self-confidence, though. Almost anything upsets me. The thing that sets me off the most is when people who are beautiful sit around, and complain about how their so ugly, for obvious reasons. I've lost a lot of weight (which is a good thing, since I used to be overweight) since late last year, I'd say about 20 or 30 pounds. It isn't like I think I'm ugly or fat or anything, as I already said. I'm not quite sure what's wrong with me.
Nevertheless, getting to the point of this question, I was curious as to whether or not anyone has any good advice on how to boost my self esteem. Anything that helped you? Anything that may help me feel better about myself?
And I'm sorry if anything I put in there was unclear. I'm a bit tired at the moment.
