Hi everyone. Just turned 17, I have no confidence in myself, I'm definitely ugly, but not ungroomed(I shower daily, wash my hair daily, brush my teeth twice a day, shave regularly, and I'm currently working out every day). I would say I have a good personality, although I'm a lot different to everyone else, so much so that you couldn't really compare me to an average person, I'd say I'm sort of unique in a way but I don't want to sound like I'm full of myself because I'm not. I'm not mean, I'm generally a kind/nice person, however I have this delusion(?) that there's nothing good about my personality, and I know that I have some cognitive distortion, but I'm challenging it in hopes of there being change. Basically, even though I've got no confidence at all, I've sort of just said "sack it, what's the worst that can go wrong. If someone liked me, I'd be happy, why wouldn't they?" and I've sort of gained the motivation to make moves on girls(I'll say girls, I think 17 is still a bit young to say women); although I still always have thoughts like "why would they want me, there's no reason why". The issue is, I have no idea when a girl is hitting on me(although I doubt there's ever been an instance of that), and I just don't know when to make a move, or what moves to even make, and vice versa for girls. I was just wondering if:

1) Anyone has the same experience/situation

2) Anybody could offer some advice on what to do, how to act, and all that sort of stuff.

​

Thanks in advance guys
