Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I mean, personally I think I'm atrocious looking but I've only ever gotten positive remarks. I'm just too damn afraid to talk about myself or just to talk freely on a personal level. I know that if I could just open up, my life would be at least better than it is now. But usually I just end up walking away if somebody does happen to say something positive to me due to the fact that my self esteem has hit rock bottom levels. It sucks ass, I'll tell you that much. Plus, I still think I'm butt ugly so nothing changes.

Same here, but without positive remarks (negative instead, but I don't mind them). But I know very shy people who have managed to get a satisfying life, with friends, a partner... so there is hope. Now, as I have told, I try to be more simple-minded and I feel less pressured.

I hope so. Having SP is really difficult. Why do I care it so much? I have no clue. Who cares if they follow me or not. I'm really wondering the reason of having this weird logic which I also know that abnormal. It's same for all of us I see. We know it's wrong to think like that but we can't change the way we think and keep on with escaping, fearing, getting away from people.

Whenever I meet with a new guy at the office, they tell me I noticed you before! But I never notice any of them. One of those hitting on me told me the same today. I just told him I dont want to be noticed and he said not possible, you're beautiful Sad but I dont want to be noticed and followed Sad

Dear friend,

There is just one thing I don't understand; if some girl told me I'm handsome, I would be happy rather than sad. Do you hate yourself so much that you don't want people to tell you that you're beautiful - even though you know it's true? Sad
