I'm just incredibly dissatisfied with my appearance and weight to the point where I dislike going to social gatherings and interacting with people because I'm ashamed of the way I look. It doesn't help that I go to a rather prestigious university where I feel incredibly inferior to the rest of my classmates who seem perfect in every way - beautiful, and they must be talented and intelligent in order to even be accepted to the university.
I was wondering if anyone has any tips to improving self esteem and just being comfortable with myself. Along with the reasons I mentioned before, I'm also a minority in a predominantly white school, so I feel like I don't really fit the norm for a beautiful or pretty girl here, you know? I don't care at all about finding a boyfriend and attracting guys and whatnot. I'm just sick of feeling ugly and fat all the time and need some help stopping such negative thinking.
Thanks in advance for reading and any advice you can offer!
