First of all, you don't really need to know someone very well in order to boost their ego if you really wanted to. You simply do it. By writing this down, I am boosting your confidence. This is why I hate writing on the net, because people don't really understand what is being asked of them. I get accused of not being nice enough, not being approachable, and yet no one here on Yahoo knows anything about me or even tries to get to know me. I feel terribly ugly as well, and pointless believe me! I haven't got any friends but I smile all the time and say "hello" to people and still no one approaches me...so trust me...living alone and talking with yourself is not a very amusing way of living life. It's very hard to when you have to go at life alone and not have family or friends and yet EVERYONE expects you to be their "very best friend" and lean on you when they have problems...that's my curse...I would suggest for you to just keep smiling and get on with life (even though it does suck most of the time). For example, some idiots (pardon my language) accused me of being immature on this network...but they don't even know me. You know me based upon how I write but that's not an accurate way of judging someone. I made the note of saying "imagine if you were a person no one ever wanted to talk to or be near" and you craved the comfort of another person...saying I did something wrong or behaved badly or wasn't approachable enough is a judgment on my character. So, yes I can boost your ego and I hope my rant helped!

It's probably because you need to make your life interesting. You only get what you put in, I mean if you want your life to be interesting go out and do something. Instead of the gym go out and do something crazy with some friends, have fun! Life's too short for it to be repeated over and over again.

Audrey,
life is a series of misadventures for most people. Some have all the luck, get all the raves and others get bird sh^t in their eye while riding a bike with friends. 32 years later at school reunions, they don't remember he owns a fortune 500 business, only that when he was 13, he got bird sh^t in his eye.

the truth is, most people are not happy with themselves. The number of young women who have cosmetic surgery tells you how unhappy they are with their looks or body. I have to think that when they are stunningly beautiful before surgery, they have to still see their own imperfection afterward, and that is internal, that is the real them they see, not the external, as it was beautiful before.

You see what is, and want what could be. The guy I was telling you about, i have never met. He was the guy that always messed up. He cut his hand off trying to make something on a table saw just before he graduated from high school, and for his graduation gift, his friends bought him a pirates patch for his eye and a hook of somekind. His life, has been accident after accident, but he build a company from the ground up.

a mentally healthy person does not want to die, but might despise they life they live. Like the young women opting for surgery, they see where they are, and want better. But they too are looking at thier own perception of themselves.

You need to have a heart to heart with your self. You need to realize you are all you get. You can't be remade on the human level and you need to live your life. You will not be getting a second chance.

while obviously you are smart as you can see what is, you are appearantly overwhelmed at changing what is. Learn to live with it. you might be able to change it.

a man who loses a hand has trouble typing, but works within his limitation (the guy I was talking about). a man who can't see uses a dog to help him. is that bad? no, is it good he is blind, no! but you live within your limitations.

Audrey, we can say all the right things and stroke your ego, but you alone can dismiss it all with a thought. Find your value not in yourself, but in the value of those you love and treasure. Look inside and you find vice, and worse. Look at others to love and you will not see how horrible they are, for you do not see thier souls.

email me if you want to talk more

Think on the positives :]


Atleast you don't look like me.


I use to think things were pointless for me
but then I took a different perspective.
Just remember in life there's insane stuff that could happen to you at any random moment.


Try and face a fear, just don't hurt yourself doing it.

I agree with dragonfly - you could give us SOMETHING to work with... "I am a successful business woman raising two children, and yet I feel so worthless..." -- or -- "I know that I am a worthwhile deserving human being, yet these dark feelings won't go away... What should I do?" Something like that. We could all pour out how wonderful and beautiful you are but it would amount to a hill of beans, I think.

What do you want us to say? If you quit thinking that you are pointless and ugly, I'll bet you will have more friends and will not have time to be bored with your life

Jesus loves you.
John 3:16
There is life after high school.
Try asking the Lord into your life. He helped me a lot. The Christian life can be very exciting.

If you do something good for society maybe that will help you feel good about yourself. I feel like my life is going nowhere but I don't give up. I don't know anything about you like your age or where you are at in life. But don't give up. Keep going forward you will end up somewhere eventually.

how can we boost your confidence when we don't know you or anything about you? It would be empty and superficial of us to even write anything trying to boost your ego. You need to boost your own ego.
