I'm 18 years old and I feel as though people have always looked at me differently, like I don't quite "fit in" with how girls my age are supposed to look. I'm not overweight or ugly by any means, just different-looking, I think. Well, I always feel as though I am being negatively judged whenever I talk with someone, even if it is a friend. It makes me very, very socially awkward, and I really hate it. It doesn't help in the slightest that I'm also quite shy as well. PLEASE help me with this! I already take Prozac, and it does help with my anxiety, but it does not change my thoughts about myself. What can I do? And please don't just say, "Don't worry about what others think." It doesn't seem to help me or make me more confident. I am 18 years old. I should not have to deal with this at this age. It drives me crazy! Help?? I've also already seen a psychologist. Anything else I can do on my OWN to break out of this nasty cycle? Methods? Thank you soooo much in advance! :-)
