I really hate going outside just because of how I look and how people look at me. So I don’t go out, ever, unless it’s for school, work or an appointment. I am too self-conscious about what people think about me. I’m also shorter than the average man and my baby face isn’t helping my cause here! People think I’m either 14 or 16 by default so I say “thank you, I’ll take it as a compliment” but I’m it hurts to hear a little bit. I really want to throw myself outside my comfort zone, but I’m afraid people won’t take me seriously. I feel like I’m stuck inside my house forever and I can’t shake whatever this feeling is! It’s ruining me and my social life. I look like a child that ran away from home wondering about, at least that’s what I think when people see me in public.
