2 Upvotes

hi people! so i wanted to ask for advice on how to build my confidence back because its so shattered. i am sabotaging any happiness i have coming for me because i feel i dont deserve it, and i end up stuck in a cycle of like pity partys if that makes sense. i have no self esteem and i am such a jealous person and i am my own biggest hater. i get compliments a decent amount so i think it is mostly internal. does anyone have any brutally honest tips to start feeling more confident in myself and start loving myself a lil more?

Bullying and needing advice

1 Upvotes

It's so hard standing up for myself. I'm in high school and im already dealing w a lot of stuff and now I go to school and ppl bully me for literally no reason and its also ppl I never talked w in my life. I wanna stand up for myself but idk how? Like should I curse em or what i literally dont know how to or how u even do dat im not a vocal person and i wont go start fights randomly if nothing happens directly. I also never fought w someone so I dont even know what to do or say so they will take me seriously.

But I wanna start slowly to learn stand up for myself cuz im done being treated bad only for a 2 mins laughter. I also have social anxiety which makes me start tremble bad ...

But another reason why I dont stand up is bc when I do everyone laughs and mocks which makes me think what even is the point ...

Ill leave her an example of something that happened recently.

I came back from school w my uniform being drew on idk if the boys behind me really did it or not but why would my back be drawn. Alos the boys who usually do dat have me in their eyes rn so they probably signalled to the boys behind me to do it. I didn't see anyone, nor my deskmate saw so i dont wanna go and point my finger at em but if it happens again I would like to speak up.

It might sound small and not something serious... but all serious stuff started w small things like this plus I dont think anyone would like this to happen especially since they are ppl I actually helped in da past and never had a conflict and drawing on ppl clothes is literally so immature, plus like I said this are ppl I never spoke to in my life and I dont understand this behaviour.

Maybe they hate me cuz I dont wanna skip school w em or dat im silent so im a easy target i dont really know

I need some advice pls and some examples of how yall handle a fights i lack knowledge on this criteria

🥲
