Yes , and a cyborg hooker . <| sep |> They forgot to mention our friend the Ken M <| sep |> Depends on how they ' re bullying . If it ' s only verbal , you just have to have a mental FU mentality and realize that they ' re just pathetic and can only affect you as much as you let them . You are free to ignore them . If it ' s physical , that ' s when you need to bring in parents or school authorities . <| sep |> Hi friend ! It is important to know that there isn ' t anything wrong with you . I would also say that you don ' t need to change as a person . Not at all . It isn ' t about changing , but rather growing . Never feel selfish for caring about yourself ! Your physical and mental health come first and anyone who says otherwise truly lacks compassion . I have dealt with very similar problems , and have been dealing with depression for over a decade . Let me tell you , there is a lot of merit to the notion of fake it ' till you make it . You ' re carefully presenting yourself in a way that is most positive for your well being , and it really helps boost your selfesteem . It is just forcing yourself to be confident and not take other people ' s negative words too close to heart . It isn ' t easy , but it will help to try knowing it is neither fake nor selfish . But also know that you don ' t need to do it alone . Have you considered seeing a counselor or therapist ? They are there to help people work thrgh issues like this . And addressing a concern is the first step ! I sincerely hope and believe you will find happiness in yourself and your situation . Take your time to grow and work towards small goals . They ' ll add up . I believe in you , OP ! You ' re a motivated and caring person , take time for yourself .
