Lately I’ve been thinking about something kinda weird. I always thought I hated myself, the way I look, the way I act, everything.
But the more I pay attention, the more I think I don’t actually hate me.
I hate how people treat me.
I hate feeling like I’m always the last pick, the backup plan, the “oh he’s cool but…” option.

When I’m alone, I’m actually fine. I like my sense of humor, I like the things I enjoy, I like the way I think.
It’s only when I’m around people that I start feeling like I’m not enough.

Anyone else ever realize something like this?
Is this normal or am I just overthinking again?

Honestly bro, same.
People act cool at first, but once you open up even a little they start calling you “weird” for no real reason.
Sometimes it’s just because you’re different from what they’re used to, not because there’s actually something wrong with you.
You’re not alone, it happens to a lot of us
