Don't worry u are talkin to the right person..there is a stage in one's life when they feel like an outcast, they dont like themselves. dont get discouraged if ppl dont like u for who u are then screw them!! o and by the way being unique isnt a bad thing. i know;)lol

personaly im goin through that right now!! i feel like i dont like the person that ive become anymore. i dont like the way i dress or my hair or the music i listen to. i just really dont like myself!! i know were in our teens and this is the time that we need to find who we really are and we need to explore. i have brown hair with highlights and this weekend im cutting my hair SHORT and getting bangs plus dyin it black. i also have dark blue eyes and im getting green contacts. u always have options and its all about doin the most u can with them. try a change in ur life. maybe not a big drastic one like im about to do but even the tiniest one can make a difference!! good luck!! leave me one in the inbox so we can talk more if ya want!!

Many people feel bad about themselves at times. It is perfectly normal. (o ma gaw im starting to sound like a shrink!)Just do things that make you happy and hang out with friends! Laugh! Be silly! Be the wild child you are meant to be! Just have fun! But if you are still feeling bad then, only if you want, see your school counseler or ask your parents if you can see someone about it. Whatever you do dont lock your feelings about yourself inside. Hope i helped! purlease write back.<3~Rosie~

It's not weird. If everybody loved themselves, why would the self help section at the bookstore be crammed with a ton of books?

Things you can do:

Make a list of things you DO like about yourself, no matter how small you think they are. Your eye colours? Your singing voice?

Focus on the positive, but also think carefully about the negative. Ignoring those thoughts won't help you, but trying to figure out where they are coming from will.

If you have a specific bad thought, such as 'I'm failing out of school,' it's something you can take action to conquer - study more, don't skip classes, etc.

It's very normal to feel this way for any number of reasons - or no reason at all. The best thing to do is find someone to talk to...a parent, friend, teacher, cool aunt, etc. You'd be suprised how many people feel this way, and sometimes knowing you aren't alone can help a lot.

I know exactly how you feel... Towards the middle of last year I was having a really rough time accepting who I was... I really wanted to change, I got in fights with my friends a lot, the guy i liked, liked my best friend, and it felt like it was all my fault... don't even worry about this at all.. It'll pass i promise. I love myself now and realize i have some really good points about me. Just find some things you love to do, maybe meet some new people, and pretty soon you'll realize you're beautiful just the way you are! Good luck!
Hope I helped!

no its not normal. but yes many people feel this way about themselves. you may be going through a depression. try talking to a good freind, parent or someone you can trust about how you've been feeling.
