I’m a senior. I know, it’s a little late for me to be making friends. I don’t have any friends. My college experience was not good. I just feel like I’ve come across the wrong people. Wrong people, wrong places. How do I make friends with people without forcing it? I’m tired of being lonely. Every time I try to talk to someone , I feel like I’m forcing it. I’m the type of person to want things to happen naturally. But, that hasn’t got me anywhere. I’m starting to feel like something is wrong with me.

I find myself fretting about looks, 24/7. Literally every day, no exaggeration. I have 0 self confidence. People do tell me I’m attractive and that I shouldn’t feel the way do and how I’m too hard on myself, but the person I see in pictures is hideous. The girls that I think are attractive are truly attractive, no question. A stranger could see that they feel good about themselves, because they have a reason to because they’re actually attractive women. I want to “fake it until I make it” when it comes to building my confidence. I don’t have any friends, and that takes a toll on me and my self esteem. I have a boyfriend, but the way he treats me makes me feel like I’m undeserving of the nice gestures other girls receive from their boyfriends. I JUST WANT TO WAKE UP ONE DAY AND STOP HATING WHO I AM. Please help.

I have a speech impediment. I go on interviews and I feel as though my speech impediment is ruining my chances of finding a decent job. How can I not let my speech impediment take a toll on my self esteem? I’m starting to feel like I won’t ever find a decent job. I want people to give me a chance.

Loyalty in friendships/relationships, etc.

I know that I can be a little too observant for my own good, which often results in me getting my feelings hurt. How do I know if I’m looking “too deep” into something (and how to stop it), or if how I feel about a situation/person is valid?

Due to the fact that females can be jealous/envious? Or is that just a subjective experience?

are they trying to be shady?

I’m a junior In college and in a long distance relationship. I feel guilty making new friends of the opposite sex. On one hand, I’m very loyal to my boyfriend. On the other hand, I feel like i could be passing on some potentially good friends. Is it wrong?

People tell me I’m beautiful. Whether I’m at work, church, or school people say that I’m an attractive person. But, when I look in the mirror or look at one of my photos, I see someone who is ugly/average looking. Are people just being nice to me? I Look at the girls at my university and job and I often think about how I wish I looked like them. Why am I so down on myself? I want to have high self esteem but it’s so hard for me to think of myself as beautiful when what I see In the mirror/photos is not.

I struggle with making friends. I grew up so isolated and never acquired those vital social skills as a child. I find it hard to make friends because of my social anxiety and fear of rejection. I’m a rising junior and most people have found their friends already. How can I turn things around and enjoy my last two years of college?

I have social anxiety and a speech impediment. My therapist told me to step out of my comfort zone and engage in social interaction to help me combat my fear of people and social situations. Obviously, I need a job to survive. Will my speech impediment deter people from giving me a chance?

I’ve had my license for a few years, but I haven’t been driving a lot since I’ve been in college and don’t have access to a car while on campus. When I do drive, my feet get sweaty and tingly. Why does this happen? Is it caused by anxiety?

When I’m out, I always get dirty looks from females. I don’t bother anyone. People tell me it’s because their jealous of me, but I don’t think I have anything to be jealous of. Why is this?

Would you be friends with a person who stutters?

I’m a 19 year old female. I’ve had this tight & achy feeling on the left side of my chest for like a week. I put my sympotoms into google to see what it could be & now I’m extremely paranoid. This is the first time my chest has ever bothered me. Could it be a heart issue? Or possibly breast cancer?

I’m 19, and while most people my age are into casual dating, I’m not into hopping from one relationship to the next simply because I get attached easily & I’m the type of person to bevdeeply devoted to the person I am with. What’s your opinion?

I'm In college & I have no friends. I have trouble making friends because of my stutter. It's starting to take a toll on me & it's destroying my self esteem. How can I overcome this?

Not to sound vain, but many people tell me I'm beautiful. However, I think I'm just an average looking female. When I look in the mirror & in pictures, I don't see what others see. I constantly compare myself to other females and I feel like I'm not as good looking as them. Therefore, I believe people who are telling me I'm beautiful are just trying to be nice or lying. How can I gain some self confidence and work on my self esteem so that I can be happy with myself?
