writes:Good morning,Just a confidence issue here.This is nothing major but I really want to get to the bottom of this.When I was younger my dad used to shout and yell at me which used to intimidate me a little. As I grew older the imtidation went away but soon as I reached into Year 9 at school I used to get verbally bullied. Ever since these things happened I finding my confidence is not all that great. Say for example I walk down town and have my headphones in I can think all the time people are looking at me and laughing which this makes me very paranoid. I am not a ugly person, I am quite good looking. I am very comfortable with my sexuallity and not scared to share my thoughts with anyone.Is this a major thing if so how can I overcome this.Thanks!

Just stop giving a crap what people think.
There, I've said magic sentence. It's your job to take that sentence into account and do what you will with it.
Don't be scared of other people's opinions, no matter what, they will each always have different opinions of you. Some will hate you, and then, some will like you. It just depends on whom you keep around you.
And hey, maybe they're not laughing at you bro, or looking at you because you look weird or whatever. Maybe it's 'cause you look good ;)
Best of luck.

 The only way you are going to over come this is by getting over it yourself.. these are the symptoms of low self esteem probably triggered by the fact that your dad used to shout at you and that you were bullied.. people say that if you experience problems in childhood these are the problems that you take with you into adulthood. this looks like your case to be honest.
As for the people looking at you, this is you just being insecure. If you walk quite highly and proud of your self then people are going to stare you just need to ignore them and get on with it people are just nasty.. hope this helped x
