Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
As I said in one of my previous posts, people in my town laugh at me. It's not just in my town, though, It's on the internet, too. People on the internet are even worse actually. I get laughed at for the fact that I am a slim guy that wears tank tops even though I am busting my butt trying to gain muscle. I get laughed at because I have a few zits and a few scars from them even though I have tried everything to get rid of them and the stuff that everyone claims I should try is really expensive. I get laughed at because I'm a 5'5 guy. I try to look strong in public and like things don't get to me, but honestly, they do. I feel like I wasn't even meant to be here sometimes because I feel like I am a failure inside and out. All I really have going for me is my family and my one friend who has been through similar things than me but is still better off. So, the question is...why shouldn't I care what people think? I could see if it's about things you can change. But what if it's something that you can't help or change that people laugh at you about? What do you do then? How can you not care then?
Look at what you are saying: you have acne scars, you're short, and you wear tank tops.
How are these things bad? 90% of young men have acne, for a start. I can't think it would bother me or any girl I know. If you like the person, something like a scar is immaterial and you are not female, so you don't have to please superficial males with your beauty. :p
:D heh. cheap dig at men. Anyway back the plot. You do care. You care for ages. and then one day you realise it's not even interesting. You realise that you don't really care what they think because they're bubbleheaded idiots. You care until you realise that it's not everyone who thinks this way: just the ones you have been noticing, the ones you want to impress. until you realise that over 60% of the people out there do not think these thoughts, do not care about these fripperies, and are far more interesting once you get past THEIR defects. For as long as you look up to physically more conforming persons than yourself, you are going to be by definition a failure. Branch out. Broaden your values system to allow those people in who aren't the Beautiful People, and you will no longer consider the Beautiful People to be anything more than glorified barbie and ken dolls.
You care until you realise you don't need to, in short. But along the way it hurts like hell. There is nothing more agonising than the judgment of our peers. :)
The truth is people who want to laugh and make fun of people will ALWAYS find a reason to do so.
You wear old clothes your a tramp, you wear new trendy clothes your a faggot. Your 5ft your a shrimp your 7ft your lanky. Your poor then your scum your rich then your a little daddies boy.
The reason you should never care is because you are trying to please the unpleasable.
They may say they are laughing at you because of a scar on your face but this is not true. They are laughing at you because they are miserable inside. They are scared. They are weak. They need to laugh at other people to feel better about themselves but they will never feel better about themselves by doing this.
As for the internet! It turns mild narcissists into full blown psychopaths! Even youtube comments turn into death threats and violence!!! On a regular basis!
If you can avoid certain websites then I would suggest you do this. And never get involved with a conversation of abuse. The whole point is for them to abuse you so don't fall into the trap, just ignore.
