What makes you so different to others? That can be a compliment because you stand out in ways that can be interesting.

I'm wondering what's holding you back is the social anxiety? Could this be a starting ground for you? You're too young to give up just yet.

I do agree though, sometimes it takes maturity to have people view us in a different way, and to our own advantage. With maturity comes experience. Put yourself out there in order for you to learn more about yourself. Right now, I see you're in hiding. The longer you hide, the harder it'll be to bounce back. You don't want to be 40 posting this same post.

I'm glad you're here. It takes courage to be open about yourself like this. Don't stop here, though.
