16/f.... this may be a stupid question, but what are those people called that you talk to about your problems and you tell them everything and then they give you advice and everything is confidential. They do it for a living. Nothing SERIOUS is going on in my life (ex. I'm not pregnant, I don't go drugs, I'm not a lesbian, etc.), but I feel like I can't talk to my parents (about guys or whatever) I never have and I probably never will. I'm an only child and I've been the center of their lives for 16 years and I hate it. I always have...I wish I can share the spotlight with someone, but thats not going to happen. Sometimes I wish they didn't care about me AS MUCH as they do. I feel like I need to go see one of those people because I've kept so much inside of me all my life and now I think I need to deal with a professional who can help me. And I'm afraid of a lot of things (I always have visions of disturbing things in my head, but thats a different story). How can I tell my parents I need one of those people without hurting them?

how can i be more confident? i'm really ugly, shy and boring - i have nothing to live for really, i wont ever get married or have a life. seeing as i look bad, i want to get more confident. the thing is, i read something and it said write a list of what you like about yourself. i cant do that, i hate everything about myself lol =/ and plus i'd feel really bigheaded if i write good things about myself, that's why i hate myself so much, so i don't look like i'm self-obesssed or something. please help, thanks xo (link)

you have completely contradicted yourself honey. even if you feel this way you shouldnt constantly tell yourself that you are all these bad things. talk to your friends, because obviously they care about you, and your family. No one will think you're self obsessed but they will see that your perception is off of who you are. And confidence is never bigheaded. Find things you truly like about yourself. Look at yourself from someone you love's perspective and see why they love you. Confidence is never bigheaded unless you are thinking you are god. thats not confidence. thats ego. =) I think you're a smart person for seeking advice.

To raise your self-esteem you must try to stop insulting yourself out loud. Try to accept compliments and really trust the person who gave them. see them as a mirror when they are kind to you because you deserve it.
