@MaryJo1996 I notice the teens and early to mid twenties seem to live on it quite extensively. Social media seems to rule their lives. Sign of the times.
@bhatjc I get tired of all these people posting selfies so they can get attention. Couldn't they do this in the other world and locally? Do they not have friends? Or so little confidence this is the only way they can accept themselves?
Thanks for having a go...my self-esteem is pretty shit because i dont have many friends to turn to and after various bad experiences in my life i find it hard to look in the mirror and not feel pig ugly.
But thanks for giving me a kick and making me feel bad about just wanting a bit of positive attention.
@MaryJo1996 Maybe you should post a story about why you lack confidence. I spoke the truth. You don't have to like it. Posting photos won't make you friends. Friends who are that based upon your looks aren't desirable. I don't know about your experiences. I didn't kick you. You like many others your age take offense at anything. Perhaps work on positive attention in your other world. Concentrate there. Or do write upon how badly you feel, perhaps you would get some understanding then. Or not. You have choices how you communicate here. You are certainly smart enough to know that posting your photo gets you mostly male attention. Sure you want to be known by that here?
@MaryJo1996 You speak about wanting positive attention. Do you think that posting a photo of you really does that? How about something else? Write about your daily life. People will reach out to you in a positive manner. Be real. Volunteer. You will find that working in a soup kitchen or shelter or with children even, any of those will make you feel better about yourself. Posing to try to reap any comments from strangers and many of those will in-box you like pervs...That what you really want? Think, girl. You are old enough to know better. Join a local support group. There are always people worse off. And I don't see them posing with selfies. They are out there trying and living their lives, helping others. Start there. You may be surprised at how your life will change, bit by bit, day by day.
@PoetryNEmotion Youre being so naive if you think i havent had help, and for assuming i dont enjoy my life.
I dont generally need to feel better about myself...I love my life and have achieved a lot in my nearly 22 years here. Oh and i have worked with kids, volunteering at a local pre-school as what they call a "playmate".
This is purely about me getting attention over how i look to make that part of me feel better, and if you read the vast majority of comments on my pics they are not pervy, just nice and complimentary. Oh and i dont get many people PM'ing me being pervy actually...that's just you assuming the worst of people.
