I felt like this ever since 1st Grade in Elementary school when the guys in my class, and sometimes girls, would pick on me and I always felt it was because they either hated me or the didn't like the way I look. I was the only guy in class that had lots of black hair and they use to say I looked like a girl because it grew fast and also have olive skin and brownish green eyes. Most of them followed me all the way through to the end of High School and it still continued, except I sort of stood up to them more at times but then they told some others that I was quite because I didn't like anyone else. I didn't go to prom because of it and now I have a hard time looking others in the face, especially girls because I'm afraid they'll not like me. In stores sometimes it's hard for me to make eye contact and I always find other people staring at me oddly. I'm not real sure how to get over it and I'm timid about College because I'm afraid it'll be the same.

You'll get through it. i move my eyes alot when i talk to someone. i move my eyes alot when i think. donmayor Posted at 5:44 am on Feb. 9, 2008 The key is getting over your fear and havng a positive mental attitude about yourself but how to do that I don't really know mcslovex3 Posted at 5:21 am on Feb. 9, 2008 I think i have the same exact problem. I hate looking people in the eyes to make eye contact i think it's because i have no self confidence at all. So i fake it. I act like i do but i rly don't. I guess you just have to fake it untill you really do. I think people think i'm ugly and i think i'm way uglier than i really am. All 3 previous replies displayed.
