Okay, my name is Alex and I'm a 22 year old guy but I have a shyness problem and would really just like honest opinons about what you think. Please be honest and sorry if this is longish.
I was never born shy, I was sort of outgoing and everyone thought I was a nice looking kid; not to seem conceited but somebody told me once I was to pretty to be a boy which in a way bothered me. To describe myself, I have an white/olive coloring and lots of black hair since I was little and I have hazel eyes that sometimes either look green or brown depending on the light.
When I was younger I was bullied by other guys in school throughout my school life actually and because of it I always have trouble viewing myself as good as others just because I used to be bullied and I sort of started believing things the bullies said. The guy that started never liked me from the start and would always pick on me by callign me ugly and a girl. Then other guys soon followed and even after he moved they still continued it.
Sometimes I like the way I look but then there's times I feel ugly just because I remember what the bullies always said. It feels like no matter how nice I am to others that people just hate me and maybe even think I'm ugly for being bullied. But I'm glad it happened because I now that I will never be like them and it made me feel more compassionate with others as well caring about other's opinions; which is why I'm here.
So does anyone think that being bullied makes you a ugly/bad person? I'm I really a nice guy or are the bullies right?
Please, again, be honest and if you think like them then it's okay...I'm used to it.
