feeling inadequite...

im apologizing right now for the long post, but id really appreciate it if you guys replied...:redface:
I dont know if it's unusual to feel like this or if there's something wrong with me but i always seem to feel like im not good enough. People say that im thin and quite pretty but when i look into the mirror all i can focus on is my faults. i feel fat and unattractive which may be because ive only had one boyfriend and have never kissed a guy. im only in highschool but i feel like no guys like me though people argue with me that they do. i see these glamorous thin pretty girls who i dress almost identically to, yet i feel like they are all judging me and like i could never equal up to them. im naturally very shy and im always worried what people think of me. my friends tell me that these ideas are ridiculous and my mom is convinced i should talk to a psychiatrist...is something wrong with me? or is this normal? :frown:

I think it's normal. Perhaps you should take your mind off of yourself for a while. Just become passionate about issues and ideas. Get involved. The most attractive people, to me, are the ones who always stand up for what they believe in. When you find your place in life, the right guy will be right there to match you. Dating and kissing and getting your heart broken isn't everything the movies makes it out to be.

Firstly, you are young, things can change over time.

Secondly, if you want to see a psychiatist, please do. It might help you

Thirdly, sometimes the mind can deceive you of how things really are, that is the whole notion of a mental illness.

Take care honey
