Hi pinkglow! A couple of thoughts:
Never, ever compare yourself to others when the outcome is you feeling bad about yourself. There will
always be thinner, smarter, more successful, more educated, wealthier, etc. people than you. (Conversely, their will always be people with the opposite traits i.e., heavier, poorer, etc. so don't look down on them either.)
Always be YOU. Cultivate your interests and hobbies. Become good at what you have natural talents for and you will be interesting and fun to be around. Do lots of different things and meet lots of different people and remember that confidence comes from within...not how you perceive others or how you think they perceive you.
p.s. Don't forget to SMILE!
