Fish answered Thursday July 1 2004, 5:18 pm: The trick is never comparing yourself to anyone else. They aren't you and you aren't them. The only person you should ever compare yourself to is you, comparing yourself from now to where you were a couple of years ago. The other thing is remember that the only reason people say mean things is that they're the ones who have low self-esteem and confidence. Keep in mind that people like that feel the need to put others down so that they feel better about themselves. So in essence, you're better than them. Remember that and be secure with who you are.

Just remember: **whoever says something mean means they have LOW SELF ESTEEM ISSUES so they put down other people to make themselves feel better than others**. Don't worry about what others say because in 5-10 years, who is "popular" or who is a "goth" it isn't gonna matter because we are all people and no one is better than others. Hope I helped keep your head high hun! rate me plz! [ Kissxme1121's advice column | Ask Kissxme1121 A Question ]
