A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

i need advice because im sure theres something wrong with me. it sounds silly but noone really likes me. this isnt about feeling sorry for myself but im convinced theres something wrong with me. when i was younger my dad left my mum for his sister and it was in the newspapers and i was mercilessly bullied at school. i have always been shy and inwards. even at work i get on with very few people if someone is funny with me i didmiss them very quickly. i work hard but find lots of people i work with lazy and as a result i get comments constantly becuase i work hard ive had to change work teams 3 times because of this. even in my personal life i have little confidence. i have had relationships where ive been the giver and they've been the taker-most recently im in a debt programme becuase the last person i was with left me on the verge of bankruptcy. i would do anything for anyone and as a result of low self esteem am a people pleaser and am not true to myself

im not popular and have only 2 people i class as good friends. im extremely depressed over this. im not a horrible person but people seem to view me as some kind od freak. what shall i do please help

VikkiDec1 agony auntWell I can relate to you completely, and I'm not just saying that. I'm shy and seem to never make friends or just let loose and be myself. Recently, I've tried a new thing where I say screw it, if anyone is mean to me or says anything. That doesn't mean you not care, it just means you don't care what others think about your personality, just say and do what you feel like. I also have only 2 good friends and I have realized I am lucky to have these amazing people in my life. Just try to do things that make you happy and everything else will fall into place.
