I am in my last year of high school. So I have a solid group of friends that I just need to get through this tought year.
HOWEVER, I recently started going out with this guy who is not what you would consider hot or anything...but is really sweet and I like him alot. He is also my first boyfriend.

I have a very low self-esteem and I know that they might say something hurtful when I tell them that im going out with this particular guy, and that might make me shaky about it.

I don't know him well enough yet, but he seems level headed about a lot of things and we have heaps in common. But they say friends are better set in stone you know?

I'm just wondering that how can I really just stop caring what they think... even when I have a chance of losing my friends?
And I dont want to have to end it just because my head is in shambles?

It's not that you have to stop caring what your friends think, it's that you have to set them straight. Your friends should respect the choice that you made for yourself, and support you.
If it were me I wouldn't accept anybody questioning my choice like that and would say "you don't have to like him, you're not seeing him" in response to someone who was critical of the relationship. Another response that you could use is "he makes me happy".
It's your business who you see and you shouldn't be worried about what others might think. Don't ever apologize or be weak; let people know that they are out of line with comments about your relationship. Eventually they will see that they can't break you, and will end up being supportive of you.

I paintings in a hectic medical institution and will say that the motive there's the sort of scarcity of nurses is that we're so over labored and below staffed normally to a damaging degree that tending to each and every whim is not viable. I agree that being worrying does now not price a factor and that if a nurse is competitive then he/she is within the incorrect process. BUT. . i think there's no recognize for nurses anymore and that family and sufferers will also be worrying to an outrageous degree. Patients and family can spend all day complaining approximately that they did not get their cup of tea part an hour in the past while there are minimum employees going for walks round like headless chickens seeking to provide medications reply telephones, reply doorways, touch medical professionals, switch sufferers, admit sufferers and so forth and so forth to not point out the mounds of forms which needs to be stuffed in as a authorized requirement. Then to most sensible it off if there's a clinical emergency the one employees there's need to have a tendency to that and the whole thing else will get left which explanations a backlog. I do not believe that they've stopped worrying i simply believe they're simply bored to death of the consistent wrestle everyday, its less complicated to stroll clear of the process.

If they are true friends you will not lose them over the guy you choose to go out with. A true friend should stand by you and be happy if you have found someone that you enjoy spending time with. You are the only one who should decide whether he is the right guy or not since you know him the best. Feel good about yourself and your decision making and go with your gut and your heart. If these are real friends that are worth keeping, they will be on your side.

Don't second guess your friends. They probably will be happy for your own happiness. Don't ever think such a thing as "They will say 'are you going out with such a moron?'"

Set a time for your studies, another for your friends and another for the boy, get to know him and increase your self steem knowing you can have a group of friends and a boyfriend

Hey, if your friends are TRUE friends, they'll respect your decision to go out with whoever you like, and they will remain your friends. Some might try to stir you up, just for fun - laugh with them. Anyone else, forget them. You don't need friends who don't respect you.
