I have been really down lately, there is a lot of things about me and my personality that I do not like and sometimes I wish I could just be someone else.
I really look up to my older sister's boyfriend. I wish I had his personality, I try to emulate him and try to be like him but I always seem to fall short or just not feel comfortable acting like that even though I know thats the way I wished I acted.
im 15

It is especially frustrating to know that I am actually very attractive (not trying to be cocky) yet I dont have a personality to back it up, and really what good is looks if there is no personality behind it?

Everyone wishes they were someone else at some point in time. Look around at the people your own age. Most are dressing like someone famous, in a band, on TV, etc. They are trying to stand out and gain status by how they look.
Status is a driving force among humans. At 15 status seems all important, but it is deceiving. People strive for status by becoming rich and/or famous, but they seldom find happiness because of status achieved. I mean, look at Britney Spears!
There is nothing wrong with looking up to your sister's boyfriend, and emulating his good qualities. However, you should not dismiss your own qualities. Concentrate on things you are good at, or would like to do. Involve yourself in school clubs, and extracurricular activities till you find an activity and people you are comfortable with. Getting involved, working with others will often give you a sense of worth that is longer lasting and truer than status.

i totally understand where you are comming from....and yessss their is times when I feel like being someone else. Sometimes I wish i was a very smart person!...
...however....I do think everyone was created to be a different person. Each person has their own indiviaul attitude that makes them what they are, That is what sets thm apart from any1 else.
....we are who we are for a reason...sure it might sound stupid...but thinking about it...it just might be true.
...I always day dream how different my life will be if I was certain person...because it's true....my life will be conpletely different...probably for the better or the worse..call it faith or fate.
...bottom line...how we are is what makes us. And its what sets us apart. It identifies us....and we were mad like this for a purpose.
so yeah ....thats just a summary of the lil wild ideas that go throguht my head!!
---have a good one stud!

Alot people want to be someone else. Some people may even change their physical appearance and try to look different. The only way to like yourself is to think that you are important just like when you think everyone else is. Try to be nice with yourself and love what you have, be what you are and love your personality because everyone is different. There is no "good or bad" personality unless you hurt someone in a way. Dont try to be like someone else because they might hate it, because know one would like other people to be like them. Few may even take advantage of it and boss you around. You might even be a role model to someone else ;P ya never know...
If you hate your physical appearance (everyone hates their own appearance) then do what makes you look comfortable. I know alot of people may disgree but it'll bring you confidence. Believe me. But the best thing is to love urself the way you are.
hope it helps! :)

everyone feels like this from time to time...you are still young and your personality will shine through. try to relax and just be yourself. you can only "act" like someone else for a short period of time! don't loose yourself in the process. also, as you get a little older your confidence and personality will shine through! enjoy who you are. you already have some degree of confidence, to realize that you're a good looking guy, so just relax and be yourself.
