I've always felt so self-conscious about the way I look - the high school I go to has girls that essentially look like barbie dolls walking down the halls.
Yes, I'm smart and all that fun stuff, I know I'll go on to lead a more successful life than some of these girls; but I can't help feeling ridiculously ugly.
My mom always tells me that I'm a pretty girl, but that's only by myself - when you stick me next to someone else, I'm mortified by my looks. It's gotten to the point that when someone more "attractive", per se, talks to me; I can hardly make eye contact with them, unless I know them well.
Is this normal to feel so insufficient about my looks? I'm tall, skinny, all the stuff most of the "pretty" girls would want to be, yet I feel as though my face is an incredible hindrance to everything else I have.
Psychologically, will this screw me up? Or am I just imagining things?
