I Want to Be Positive About Life

I feel like in society you cant please anyone, if you love yourself your conceded or high maintenance,and if you have low self esteem your weak. I really have problems with this,I hate myself,I feel ugly. I tell myself I'm grate and beautiful and it never works, when I look in the mirror I feel ugly I feel like I'm lying to myself when I tell myself I'm grate. has anyone had this problem ?,I have been having it for years. I also really hate being single and having no close friends. how do I deal with this?

I still have this problem.
You have worth. You are beautiful because there is no else like you.

Have you ever wondered on the meaning of a candle? Strange question. Here is another. What does the candle represent? The answer is Life. Whose Life? One may ask. All life. Every life. We are all born as molecules in the hearts of a billion stars-molecules that do not understand politics, policies, and differences. Over a billion years we foolish molecules forgot who we are and where we came from. In desperate acts of ego we give ourselves names, fight over lines on maps, and pretend that our light is better then everyone else’s. The flame also reminds us that life is precious, as each flame is unique. When it goes out it is gone forever, and there will never be another quite like it.

That which you are, you are, one equal temper of heroic hearts made weak by time and fate but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
