attention everywhere but school


Question Posted Thursday September 27 2007, 6:14 pm

A lot of places I go, I turn heads, get asked for my number, and have a lot of guys talk to me or something. I am not trying to sounds conceided at all. But at school, it seems like nobody really does that. Im a cheerleader for my school, and I thought that would help me with the guys, just because I would be around them a lot more, but it hasn't really. There are a few guys that like me at school, but for some reason it is different. I feel uglier at school than anywhere else, and it seems like that is the truth. I am also told I look like 3 years older then I actually am a lot and am told things like wow your hot and so forth, but never at school so much when I meet new people. I dress and act the same everywhere I go, so why do I get so much attention everywhere but school? I am not an attention freak or anything haha I just am really confused why it is like this. Sorry this is long!!

It could be the way you yourself feel at school. You are just one of however many students attend it. Alone you are you, you are confident, you can feel like the prettiest girl in the room because perhaps you are walking down the sidewalk with one other guy and no girls around. You can just be yourself without worrying about impressing anyone.

At school, you are surrounded by your peers who are in the exact same position as you trying to get good grades, fit in, do whatever they are trying to do. As well, anyone who goes to school with you will likely see you the next day, and the next, and the next. To the outside world, you are a stranger passing through someone's life. A guy could hit on you and potentially see you again, or could keep going and never see you again. Either way he has nothing to loose, and potentially has things to gain. If he hits on you and looks like a moron, he has lost nothing and will likely never see you ever again.

You're situation, alothogh frusterating, certaintly isn't unique. Most people I know, guys and girls alike, are complemented far more often outside of school than in it. It has nothing to do with you or the way you look. It has to do with the insecurities of the other kids and the fact that they aren't going to say they find you attractive even if they do, because they are worried about what other people will think of them. It's obvious that you are pretty, and it's obvious to me that you are aware of it. Just don't let anyone tell you any different, because they don't mean it anyway.
