Thinking about it over the last few years of my life I had zero confidence in myself. Ever since 6th grade I battled with low self esteem and social anxiety. I felt ugly and hated myself. But over this last year I have a renewed confidence.
Granted I'm not 100% confident in myself, but I feel better about my appearance. Saw a dermatologist for my acne, saw a psychiatrist for my anxiety. Basically I just stopped beating myself up and tried to get help. My braces and jaw surgery has even helped me with my smile. Before I was bullied by this girl because my smile made me look...meh. But now my smile is a lot better and it's made me a lot happier.
