Overcoming Social Anxiety Is Just Like Getting A Six-Pack

I had issues hanging around with kids born on the wrong side of town. Truth be told, they never made me feel good about myself. They were fun to hang out with and funny as all hell but they were never shy of criticizing me and my clothes, looks, or actions. They never stuck up for me when I got bullied by some of the other guys we knew. In fact, they befriended them.

Its weird as hell now that I'm in community college. The people there are much more accepting. It still makes me nervous to be around people because through out the years of grade school, I was dealing with people who would degrade me DAILY. Thats why I blocked all of them and said the hell with it all. Problem is, I cant make friends easily and talking to girls is tough because I grew up being told how "weird" I was even though I made quite a few changes by going to the gym, buying new clothes, and getting a haircut. I also struggle with anxiety, I remember my stomach would twist if I was at a party because I felt exposed or unwanted even though I never recalled a time anyone told me that. Not to mention, I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder, which makes me OBSESSED with my looks and hair so I usually feel ugly.

The mind is very fragile. I bet if kids were nicer to me, or I had better friends, I would have a completely different outlook on people.
