I have never been a social person. I have always been introverted and afraid of people, so it is very hard for me to be the active one in creating and maintaining friendships. I am not someone who can talk or likes to talk, and I can't carry conversations well. I don't like to talk about my feelings, problems and thoughts, even with my best friend. I am not the type to just call or message a person to chitchat, or just be random and constantly keep in touch with people. People just don't like to be around me, and I feel uncomfortable around people.
I get the impression that people think I'm very comfortable with myself, self-absorbed, etc. Truth is, I have very little confidence in myself, and my esteem levels are very low. I'm becoming a bit more accepting of myself but unless they're family and close friends, I don't even dare to look at people in the eye. I tend to walk with my head held low at times. Sometimes when I'm out, people tend to look at me. And even when I leave the house feeling good, the moment people look at me, I immediately feel bad about myself. People are looking at me. I'm really that ugly. They think I'm dressed very badly. They think I'm a freak.
Actually, I like myself. I like my fair skin. I like my dark brown hair. I like that I like staying at home. I like that I like Kpop. I like that I have differing opinions from the mainstream perspectives. I like that I like being alone. I like that I am absolutely comfortable with going to places and doing things alone. I like that I am a low-key person. I like that even close friends probably don't know many things about me.
But at the same time, I really hate myself. I hate my skin. I hate my hair. I hate that I like staying at home. I hate liking Kpop. I hate being different. I hate being alone. I hate going to places and doing things alone. I hate being so low-key. I hate that my friends probably know nothing much about me.
People ask me, why do you still not have a boyfriend? You're turning 20, why are you still single? You need to mix around, be more proactive, steal some spotlight, don't die a virgin. I don't even love myself enough, how am I going to love another? I am so unsure of myself, how am I going to be sure of another, and that he would be sure of me? I am so afraid of others and have never been able to know what I want exactly, how is someone going to be unafraid of wanting me?
I'm not fussy; I don't want Prince Charming. I want someone who genuinely cares for me, someone who I can actually bring myself to trust. I have never been wanted, and never felt wanted. Even if somebody liked me, I would never know because he didn't like me enough to show that he wanted me. And even if I liked somebody, I would never show that I liked him because I know that nobody would want a person like me.
