Yeah, I see what you mean. Anybody else would say I have a great life; a lot of friends (and some really good ones at that), nice things, talented and I do well in school just by showing up basically, people think I'm good-looking, etc.

But, I don't see any of that. I feel lonely, I always feel like I'll fail the test or fail an audition even though I end up suceeding, I always feel ugly, and I always feel sad. I guess I have really low self-esteem, I dunno.

Cutting is insanely hard to stop, the only way you can really do it is find a spark of happiness to carry you through your bad times. Like, if you're going to cut, think about your boyfriend and how much he means to you. Or realize it's not worth it and the only thing it does is give you more pain.
