I Want People to Accept Me For Me

Why Would(n't) They Accept Me?

By: Obiats
Written on May 17th, 2012
The one thing I long for perhaps the most, is that people would accept me for what I am. But the problem is, I don't accept myself. I would like to change who I am, there are always things wrong with me... I think perhaps I am the one who accepts me the less. People don't understand me, they say I am nice and people don't hate me. And the say I must accept myself for others to accept me as well. But I can't accept myself as long as others don't...
When I say all this to people, they don't understand. And I feel that even if they say they accept me, they are lying. And I really don't know if they are or they aren't.

    I've had a lot of struggles with self confidence, as well. I mean, if you're told something over and over again, how can you not come to believe it?

    I hope I'm making sense...

    Hi. If you don't except you for you then try a change. If that's what you would like. But what I think is that you should be proud of yourself. Everyone was made different. Nothing wrong with that. But if there is people that don't except you, the then that's there loss. You sound like a great person. And I'm not lying. I understand how you feel. I use to not except myself for who I am but I realized that I'm me. No one can change that. Everyone is different in there own ways. Every person is unique and beautiful. No matter what. Keep your head up and be proud of who you are!
