Being self-concious (story inside)

I realize that in our world today, no one is perfect. There has been something about myself that I believe has basically ruined my life.

I have red hair. Now this may not seem to be a big issue to some people out there but it fucking kills me. I've always had a bunch of friends who don't seem to care about it at all. I always think that people are staring at me because of my hair, some people even don't like me because of it.

I could b.s. and say something about pot, but the real reason that I honestly starting smoking weed was because of my hair. I probably think about it 80% of my free time. My whole life is engulfed in it, it needs to stop, I am 17 years old. Now I have no idea why I decided to post this here, but I want your honest opinion on what you think I should do, bc the way I see it I'm stuck. Thanks for your time, it would mean alot to me if I got some serious posts back.

i think your real problem lies not whats on your head, but whats goin on in your head...you sound like you need professional help

hey,
ever thought of dieing your hair another color??

just a thought....

when your around people and you feel this way try to crack a joke about it... it will help alot..

and i know how it is when you can stop thinking.....just begin observing. dont think observe, look at everything around you and everything around everything just look, soon you wont be thinking

Dude who the fuck cares about hair color?
And if someone does... then chances are they themselves have no personality.

Just start working out and get your body in shape, thatll help your self esteem.

Red hair is awesome. Don't be ashamed of that. Be proud that you've got something that most people don't have. Get it styled the way YOU want it, whether it be long or short.
With self-confidence, you can have a good life. That's very important. Self-confidence and esteem. And remember, anyone who laughs at your hair color has to go home and live with themselves. You only have to deal with them for the moment. There are idiots everywhere.

"And if someone does... then chances are they themselves have no personality."

And i didnt mean to offend YOU if it sounded like that, I meant talking bout people who judge you by hair color.


NP, emg :rasta:

sorry webb, sometimes, i can't read :thumbsup:

thanks everyone.

This does mean a lot to me even if it may not seem the case. Im going to try and build up my confidence from the nothing it is now, and who knows it may be easy. I am just going to try and forget about hair color.

This group of people on this website are awesome, you guys should never change.

wear a hat?
