Hi Tinna, it takes time to work through all of these things and then to feel like you have a handle on things. Keep working and be forgiving of yourself. No one is perfect and we all sometimes look silly or feel ackward. If you can learn to just accept that these things will happen and that it is okay it makes things much easier!

I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I feel this way almost constantly. It's been a life long struggle.
What has comforted me the most is realizing that my opinion of myself is no less important than anyone else's. Someone's negative opinion of me is not automatically more accurate than my own opinion of me. And because my opinion matters, I try to view myself in a compassionate way, the way I would like others to view me. I tell myself I have faults and shortcomings just like anyone else. I make mistakes because I'm human just like everyone else. If people are going to define me solely through them, these are not the kind of people I want in my life. I |

You are not a freak!! We are all unique. It will take time, be patient with yourself and talk to us here and see how normal you are.

Nope not a freak at all.... altho I can undertsand why you feel that way, b/c I have felt that way too... but anxiety is very common and treatable... sometimes its a long journey with constant upkeep to stay on top of it.... its a work in progress for sure...

Not a freak, just unique. I think we're all a bit different from each other and we're supposed to be. It would be great if we could all relish the ways in which we are "one of a kind". I don't know why we often feel we are odd or weird because of our uniqueness. It's probably our insecurity and lack of self esteem.

Being insecure happens to the best of us. You can always talk here, know you will not be judged.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
