Kyle I'll bet you're a great guy too. I think you are a lot more in touch with your feelings and thoughts than many people are, and that is probably why your are so confused. There's a lot to figuring out "who you are" and if you're not confused then you're not paying attention! Like I said before, remember that you are young and have plenty of time to figure it out. Figuring out who you are is part of the journey of life, not something you "answer" today or tomorrow and then move on.

For some reason your image of yourself doesn't match the reality. I hope you can work on that. I believe it is MUCH more important to like yourself and to be comfortable yourself than to find satisfaction in external things. I think you have to like yourself well before you consider whether others like you or not (especially when considering personal relationships).

Hope you keep posting here, and hope you can find some support near you.
