I have a friend for 8 years now, I've been trying to help her make use of her talents. She got an inferiority complex because of dyslexia but she is a natural born designer/decorator. I've seen her go into somebody's house and in 5 minutes rearrange the place to make it go from a dump to looking great. I tell her that god gave her a talent. She should use it; she could help so many people that don't have it. She says she's scared cause people put her down her whole life. She's also beautiful--part American Indian, part black, part white. I know this doesn't address the first part, but she's always worrying about her looks. She asks me how come people stare at her. It's simple. She is beautiful. How can I help her be less afraid of the world because underneath I see this beautiful, smart, capable person who had some trauma in her life. It gets me so mad sometimes I want to go out and beat the crap out of everyone who every hurt her feelings. She's tried therapy already
