Before I entered high school, my life was fantastic. I was funny and out-going, and always the life of the party. And despite my big thighs and flabby belly, in one year I had 7 guys ask me out! Plus, my friends were there for me, and I loved them unconditionally. Then high school came.
When I joined the volleyball team and started spending more time with my team than my friends, my friends got mad at me and stopped talking to me. Along with all the boys that were once interested in me. Because of that, my confidence plummited and I was paranoid that everywhere I went people were talking about me. I cried myself to sleep almost every night, and I just wasn't myself anymore. The paranoia from my old friends spread to overall paranoia. I kept thinking everyone I walked by was judging me, or completely ignoring my existance.Over time, the paranoia began to drain and I made a few new friends. However, even now my self-esteem has yet to come back. I am still overweight and unconfident. I havent even had a crush on a guy in months because I dont think guys will ever notice me again. All I want is someone to come along and love the things about me that make me so unhappy now. I want my sophomore year to be the year for me to get back on my feet. But I know that will only happen when I start to love myself. I just dont know how to do that.
