HELP!
ok so i guess im very shy. i never know what to say and i dont like eye contact or when people stare at me. i get way to self consious but i dont know how to stop from being self consious. i dont like people looking at me cause i dont want them to think im really ugly or something but people always tell me that im pretty. and im not fat-far from it(90, 5'1) but i still get self consious. so i dont know what my problem is. im just way too shy and i really want a boyfriend. what should i do? like i want to be more outgoing and friendly, b/c i dont have that many friends. and i want more. plus, i get depressed a lot because i realize that a lot of people dont know/like me. i dont know what i should do...ps(14/f)
thanks.

Aww honey...
You've just gotta love yourself. Learn to appreciate the person you are. As corny as it is, when you get up in the morning, tell yourself "I am beautiful," and smile at your reflection, because I'm sure you are.
Learn to love yourself.
I was really self conscious at 14 as well, by the way. It's normal, I think. I'm gonna guess you're a freshman in high school - your first year and all that, obviously you're going to be a little nervous. You'll get more confident as you get older.
As far as being shy, just convince yourself that you're confident and gorgeous and no one is better than you. If need be, add "and no one is better than me" to your self-confidence statement in the morning. It really does help. With the whole getting a boyfriend thing, when you become more confident about yourself, guys will come to you. They like girls that radiate confidence.
(I mean, I didn't even WANT a boyfriend and I ended up with one. He came to me.)
Anyway, if you get more outgoing - talk to peopole, stike up random conversations in the hallways like "wow, this hallway's crowded..." and you'll be surprised at the way you meet friends. Or join conversations if you happen to hear people talking about something you're interested in.
Just make sure you're being yourself. Be confident, and remember you are beautiful, and no one is better than you.
If you wanna talk more, you can IM me at SirenCytherea, or contact me here again.
I do hope this helps a little!
