Does anyone wonder why your friends like you?

Post Reply New Topic

Okay, I think I may have low self esteem but sometimes I wonder why my friends even want to hang out with me? Like I'm so weird, I talk too much etc. I don't think I derserve my friends sometimes because they so nice and put up with me?

You're 16... Everyone feels weird and awkward at that point even NTs. It's hardwired into our systems (hormones and such). Just try to enjoy the things that make you happy . Focus on finding things you love to do and preparing for your adult life (e.g. school).

I don't. Probably because I have no friends.

I think people didn't always feel "weird and awkward" at sixteen. On the other hand, some people feel that way their whole lives.

Well studies have shown that hormonal changes in adolescent females cause emotional fluctuations, which can affect i.a. self-esteem. Most people grow out of it. Finding activities one excels in, can speed up the process.

Everyone's a little weird. What matters in a friendship is the good parts and the growth people get from spending time together.
