I'm 16 years old 5"9 and weigh 122. I work out like crazy but get no where fast. When ever I see some one I'm attracted to (usually guys in good shape) instead of trying to talk to them i get really insecure and quickly crawl back into my shell. My mind seems to make it into some sort of competition, I then start thinking I'm ugly or I'll always be alone. This issue has gotten in the way of what could of been a relationship a few times. I try to look past it put it seems to worm it's way back to the front of my head every time. I don't know what to do?
Ya gotta just learn to accept yourself, my friend. I know it's hard, but honestly compared to a lot of the social challenges of being gay, like you are, this is a fairly easy normal, teenage problem. You can't compare yourself to everyone, and Im sure you are plenty attractive. So just be brave and go for it! Yeah yeah... I know... easier said than done. But try. Good luck and Don't Forget To Be Awesome!
