I want to be like other people

Like any other people, i have varieties of problems that i can't seem to understand.

i feel like a freak, especially when i'm around people who are considered influental or 'respected' by other students, those type of people who gets amazing grades.

I'm somewhere in the middle i guess, my grades aren't amazing as in A+, sometimes A, B, or C. I have this problem where i care about other peoples opinions about me.

Everytime school break ends, i'd always tell myself "i'm going to change my identity, i have to have tons of friendd, i have to be liked by others" Of course i was joking, but part of me was being serious about changing my identity.

When i mean by changing my identity, i meant by being a whole different person, slimmer, prettier, more 'graceful' more soft spoken. Because when i was in 6th grade, i was considered fat, loud, disgusting, vulgar speech, i'd spend my time drawing during recess, even during class (it worsened my grades) i was the most disliked person in my school, so i wanted to change myself.

Don't get me wrong, it helped me become a better person, i speak less vulgar now, i'm more outgoing and take care of my physical appearance more (even though i tend to become obsessive over it)

But at the end, i'd always have one of those moments where i just snapped, when i accidentally cried or yelled at something. It would always make me feel guilty and beat myself up for it. i was so upset at myself, i made these perfect images of myself and ended up ruining it.

Time went by and i would get these impulsive thoughts to cut myself, i didn't do it, never. But i would get these images of cuts on my arms, or thighs or my upper arm so nobody could see it, i was too scared to do it, so i coped with using red markers and scribbled all over my arms and thighs.

At this point, this vent isn't going anywhere, it's becoming messy and i don't know if i would continue this, i just want to express how i feel in my environment

@Hdkshdie it sounds like you have a lack of confidence in yourself because you are bothered by feeling inferior too others . maybe in grade six you rather started on the wrong foot and made the wrong impression.. but you are more mature now who cares if those have more academic skill and are more with the in crowd you can be too if you try
