Also, I asked my mom and she just told me that I was being paranoid. And the thing is, is that when i'm around people and they sniff I get self conscious about it.
To tell you the truth, I have no clue what made me think that. Well...i'll take ur advises and go see a professional.
HI,
Just a comment on the sexual abuse issue. You may think you are over it and perhaps you are but these things have a way of coming back to you. Maybe because you have not received help for it you have now developed these other issues. Sometimes our brains take a problem we think we've forgotten about or gotten over and turn it into a new problem. I think you should see a professional about it. You want to be a phychologist, so maybe that would be a good person to see. They could also help you with your self-esteem issues. I too think you should try joining some clubs/groups that interest you and meet new friends. At your age dating should be low on you priority list. Boys will always be there. Get your education and your life back. Don't let bitchy girls (and girls can be very bitchy and cruel), keep you inside playing video games.
If I can ask what problem makes you think you don't smell very good?
Thanks...I'll try some of your suggestions. And about the sexual abuse thing, I don't really care about it. I got past that a looong time ago. Anyway, thanks for the help though.
Have you been to therapy for the sexual abuse? If not, I would recommend that. It can help on a few different levels.
Also, I would look for things you enjoy that happen outside of your own home. Do you like sports? Join a sports team? Maybe look for a writing group you can join that meets up every so often? Maybe take an art class, where you can meet others? Something to get you out of your house and meeting others who may become potential friends. Get involved in something where you can meet others your own age. You will have to push yourself to get out at first, but if you find something that you enjoy it will not feel like a chore.
Friendships can come and go, but don't let that hold you back from enjoying life. There will always be people who are not the nicest and spread rumors, but you'll learn to ignore those types of people.
Hope it all goes well.
