I'm 19. Fell out with my friends, lost my girlfriend, got into it with someone at the job and had to quit that. I'm stuck in a rut like there's no tomorrow. See, normally I wouldn't have a problem going out and making friends, but there's something about my appearance that I REALLY don't like. Since I was an avid candy eater when I was a kid and my parents never told me to brush, my teeth are fucked. I had a job and was saving so I can get them fixed, but now that has gone to hell. My teeth kind of slurs my speech and not to mention not good for my appearance. I don't want people's first impression of me to be that.
So I guess for now, it's me chilling at the house looking for a job and keep myself active playing games and watching anime. Sounds like...fun.
::sigh::
Maybe I'm caring to much though? But all I want really is to be content with myself before I go starting a whole new life.
You won't be able to become content with yourself before going about getting a new life - they go hand-in-hand as a development rather than suddenly waking up one day and being completely different. Keep looking for jobs, get your teeth fixed as soon as possible if it really bothers you so much. Don't just stop after that, try to meet new people maybe get a new girlfriend. Just don't try to date co-workers because then it gets complicated (as I'm sure you now know)
confidence is really an internal issue, no amounts of physical appeal will change that.
one of my roommates, pretty face, good physique, but has some of the most fucked up relationship problems: with his gf, siblings, and friends. all problems stemming from his inability to trust himself.
another friend of mine, she is attractive (and smart) enough to date anyone without a problem, but again, due to the lack of self confidence, sits home all day, trying to figure out how to pretty herself even more.
my personal advice is try to be more social, make more friends, real friends dont judge each other based on looks.
if you have difficulty because you worry about your teeth, just tell them straight up the story of how your teeth is fuck up, any rational empathetic human will understand that it's not your fault, and you're trying.
stop worrying too much about what other people think, people will think things about you regardless of whether you hide it or not, so just let them. just be true to yourself.
best wishes, anon.
