Q: ahhhh, well I feel so dysfunctional.

my peers have been showing an interest in becoming friends with me...and getting closer, you know...
but, I'm so awkward.

I'm too aware of my own actions. I exclude myself. When people go to take a picture...I jump out of the group because I feel like I'm just taking up space. It's like the light inside me is dim and I feel like I'm not a good contribution to others. I need confidence...
how do I find peace within myself?
It is ok that you feel awkward. You are going to feel better and good about yourself once you begin to accept being a little different. I don't feel like I have ever really fit into one group or another, but that just makes me different as well. What sets you apart from other people is one of the most beautiful things about being human. You are lucky to have friends that actually want to hang out. They obviously like you and Probly just wanna hang out and get to know you even better. You don't need to worry about being awkward, being who you are has gotten you friends that like to spend time with you. Just relax and be yourself and you don't need to jump out of the pictures. You have just as much importance as any of your peers so don't be afraid to make your mark. Embrace who you are, love yourself and the fact that you are different. Others will find it attractive and inspiring. You could actually cause some followers to have a mind of their own seeing how you don't conform. : )

wow. I owe you a big thanks! your advice really makes me want to change for the better
