I feel pathetic!

in Singles and Dating » Dating Tips and Advice • 2 years ago

A long time ago, while I was at the Middle School, I got picked on viciously by a few bullies at the school because I was overweight...I'm graduating in 2 days from the high school and I've lost some weight since then, but I'm still a little overweight and I never got over my feelings! I feel that if I approach anyone, not just a girl, anyone, that they'll laugh and make fun of me again...I can't stand this and I need help! Recently, I saw an extremely attractive girl at a local gas station and I was afraid to talk to her because I'm extremely anti-social!!! Also, my dad and I moved to a new campground and a few sites down...There's a kid my age who likes to fish! I like to fish too so i figured we could be friends! I'm just to shy to go over there and say "hey what's up?" because I believe that he would say "Oh my god! Look how fat you are! Go away you fat ass loser!" If he ever said that, I would be too uncomfortable in that campground for the rest of my life! I can't talk to any strangers and I'm afraid of anyone my age! The only friends I have, talked to me first! I'm only comfortable at my house or around my friends! I can't even introduce myself to my friends friends!!! This makes me feel like a complete loser!!! Do you guys have any advice for me? It would be really appreciated! I don't want to be completely alone the rest of my life! Thanks!

Alright, bear with me because this is a long extended version and the only one I know.

I used to be a bit over weight and people are amazed how much I've lost. I would cut down on how much you eat, or eat better. If you can go to the gym and learn how to lift weights. Being fat can actually give you a bit of an advantage, usually you are able to life more and fat turns into muscle easily.

Hopefully you can talk to your parents about this or have a friend like this. Working out also increases your hormones so you have more testosterone, and you feel more confident in your self. It also boots the chemicals in your brain so you feel better about your self and so your down a lot less.

I hope this helps a bit.

Your story just basically says that you have little to no confidence. I was going to mention working out but Xero already got that covered. That part will not only help you to lose weight but you'll also feel better about yourself. When you feel better about yourself, that's when you'll have more confidence as well.

As for the anti-social part, you're saying that you're graduating high school soon so you're of legal age to work. Find a job. One that involves talking to people. The best way to get over a fear is to face it. Once you get used to talking to people through your job, it'll be easier for you to talk to anybody.

Thanks! It's true! I do have like no confidence and it making me mad...I have been eating healthier and free exercises at home...I'm too cheap to go to a gym but maybe I could get some help from my parents for that. I just HATE how long it takes to drop a simple 10 pounds, and I got to stick to the diet for like a whole year to reach my goal! It's a lot to handle and I can never do it, but I know if I don't, I'll end up lonely and die early...don't want that! :D
