Why I’m not outgoing…

One of my biggest issues is that I constantly compare myself to other girls. It can be anything from their looks, style, personality etc. I always look in the mirror and think that I’m not beautiful enough. Don’t get me wrong I am quite good looking, but not modellike and I’m not that outgoing which makes it hard to get noticed. My older sister constantly says that I only care about looks because I’m a teenager and that is not true.

Growing up people constantly complimented my appearance and I was very confident with myself. I never thought about looks as an important thing and I was very outgoing. But when I turned 14 I started getting acne. That is when I started caring about my appearance on top off everything else that happens during the beginning of someones teenage years. I didn’t look people in the eyes and became less outgoing because of the fact that I didn’t want people to look at my face due to my acne. From that moment I became very shy.

Thankfully my acne is now clear. Don’t get me wrong I do get breakouts here and there, but it’s no were near how it used to be.

Feeling left out…

I had my first classes today after the winter break. I was kind of looking forward to going back to school because I was going to try to be more social with my friend and maybe ask if they wanted to hang out after school or something. When I came to school I met up with two of my friends in my class that I use to be with and we chatted for a while until another classmate (an old friend) came. I greeted her and she looked at me with the weirdest look and said hi, like she was wondering why I was bothering her. I brushed it off.

However, as the day went by I became less noticeable to the girls and when school ended they just disappeared without saying goodbye. That really hurt my feelings. That one girl that used to be my friend doesn’t want me to be with the other girls, so she tries to shut me out all the time. And then they post pictures and videos on their snapchat, which doesn’t help how I’m already feeling. This has been going on for a while now, that one old friend who’s trying to shut me out. I feel like I shouldn’t try so hard to be noticed just to be treated this way. If they truly were my friends they wouldn’t have left me and made me feel left out. I should stop lowering my standards. I deserve better than that. The problem is that I don’t have anyone else to be with. I feel very lonely sometimes, but at the same time I feel the most comfortable when I’m alone. Maybe it’s my fault that I’m being left out. I’m the one who’s socially awkward.

Study day & donating clothes

The only thing I’ve done today is study. I have a huge test after the winter break. So, how do I study. People like to assume that It’s easy for me to study, just because I like to read a lot. Well, that’s not true. I have to make plans, which I unfortunately don’t follow. Yeah, not that great. But, the thing that I try to do is to follow my plans. When I’m done with all of my plans for the day I like to reward myself by reading a book or watching something. So automatically, I want to be done with everything as fast as possible so that I can reed my books.

Oh, I forgot, I did clean my closet in the morning. I am going to try to donate some clothes to a charity. It’s not much but I hope it helps a little. Fortunately, I live in a safe house, safe country, but it’s so sad to see what some people are going through. I can’t even imagine how hard it mus be. I hope everyone one day finds peace by putting an end to all the war and fighting, because that is inhumane. This kind of makes me feel a bit selfish for wishing for a better life when I’ve got a roof over my head and food on my table. I guess you wish for the things you don’t have. This is something I want to improve about myself.
