I don't think my problem is mental

Post Reply New Topic

My problem was my body image all the time. In my early childhood people have treated me differently from normal kids because I was very short and thin and had a "cute" face. Other boys in school teased me cuz I didn't looked "boyish" enough. During physical education I was always last and was afraid to play team games with ball and such. When I hit puberty I became aware of my body image and then I became very depressed. Also I was never interested in clothes and hairstyles, It's like all I focus about is what I see. Regarding girls I was always interested in them but a thought to actually ask them out has never crossed my mind. I'm no where near good enough to have a female partner, I couldn't protect her from anyone and the girl would feel uncomfortable around me. All the time I was interested in things my peers were no. Vice verca I was never interested in things they liked, automobiles, parties, alcohol and all. Sometimes I feel like I'm the most pathetic man in the world. I don't know if pretending to be positive about everything will change my situation because I just don't feel good and I don't look good.
