I'm so fake

lol @ op. Start talking about maths and science then if its a big deal.


You sound like a teenage girl out of a US highschool movie lel.

Can't take you seriously mate, I can only conclude you are lying. You were bullying for talking about science and maths? Really? What, by a bunch of kids who never turn up to lesson, who only talk about football and who smoke? I was one of those kids at school, how can you bully someone who is intellectually academically superior to you? And you actually got down about it.. that the worst bit.

The hottest flames forge the finest steel my friend, from what you've just told me youre problems are some of the most mediocre issues I've heard in years. Most of humanity eat worse than how we feed cats and dogs, and your here talking about how your girlfriend says you shouldn't be wearing make up?

You've well and truly trolled me. Get a grip, for ****s sake.

Names of these movies plz..

mean girls.
Thats the only one I remember the name of lel.

But every US teen movie.

I was bullied for everything at my old school. It didn't start as being bullied because of that, but that was one of the things they brought up.

That wasn't the problem. The problem was about my confidence issues and how to get over them. I don't want to be wearing cover up for the rest of my life, or being so afraid of what people will think about me that I have to fake everything. Sorry if you don't think that's serious enough, but this has actually made me depressed for years.

It sounds to me like you're chronically lacking in self-esteem and confidence. Well, the only way you can get these things is by putting yourself into situations that require it of you.

I think you learnt the wrong lessons from your experiences. You say that your girlfriend and friends only liked you because of your mask - this is true, but this is because putting on that mask let you have confidence.

What I think you should have learnt from this was how you can be if you only give yourself permission to be that way. You don't need the mask to give yourself permission.

I've had family members that up until the 80's had their teeth kicked in, feaces posted through the letter box and their houses firebombed, all because they were black. And this is in one of the better countries to live in.

I'm sorry but my sympathy for you when you come here and whine about your lack of confidence because someone said some nasty words to you at school, an institution that thousands of people die weekly crossing oceans for the small glimmer of opportunity that you are provided.

Even by this countries standards, you've got it cushty. a few generations ago you'd be in mud and water surrounded by other guys your ages being shelled and gassed, and being told that it's time to run into thousands of rounds being fired at you by other 18 year old's in the same position, and you'd have died in a foreign land.

Please, realise that you are being pathetic. Man the **** up

Thanks for giving me the first piece of real advice.

What situations do you mean?

I don't think I'd be able to say go to college naturally and not talk to people (like I want) because then they'd react the same as my friends did that first time, and I'd be able to deal with that even less.

I'm not saying that my situation is the worst of the worst. I never argued that at all. I just posted for some advice, not to get people's sympathy.

Oh, and it wasn't just a few words. I was beaten up by four guys, left for dead in a bus stop, and had to recuperate in hospital for months. And even if it was just a few words, so what? Words are just as damaging as physical abuse, if not more so.

Thats what todays over sensitive society would have you believe, it's a lie. Words only hurt if you care about the person, funnily enough I don't give a **** about 99.9% of what most people have to say because they are ignorant to my situation. But regardless as to who they are or how well they know me, someone pressing their thumbs into my eye sockets is plenty painful.

You are living in a bubble mate. Grow up, seriously. Start boxing or a fighting club, confidence will carry you a long way towards avoiding fights entirely, you'll then realise how easy your life is if the most you have to worry about is what you look like

You've built up a mental model of how you think people will react to it, which is probably inaccurate. As a rule, younger people are crueler. These people are already friends with you, and whilst being confident you will have built up skills and a mindset to handle joking around. If you can behave the way your make-up self would behave then you will get the same results. Honestly, guys' looks don't matter all that much.

If you went in with confidence and acted the same as you did with the make-up on, you'd find soon enough that it was a crutch all along. The only danger is if your expectations of failure sabotage you. You can't rely on make-up forever though - if you want your self-esteem back, you need to prove to yourself that you can do it without the make-up.

Lol what's your problem? Enduring both physical and verbal abuse at a young age is not easy, and usually affects the abused for life. Maybe you're particularly strong and can take anything, but most can't. The OP has even done well to not give into suicide or anything like that yet. Many people have had it worse than him, but that doesn't mean his problems are meaningless. I just think he's over-adjusted to get acceptance and is now in a trap he might never get out of.
