Would you have a cross-eyed teen as a friend

Instead of worrying about what some people think take a deep breath and be confident or atleast act it! Seek people who don't act agressivly towards you. Join a club, Strike up a convesation with a friendly aqantince do whatever just be welcoming and open toward thoese who don't waste their time focusing on your 'imperfections'. There is someone for everybody out their but if we dont put ourselves on display and be approchable, nothing will change.

Instead of focusing on the negative I seeked out like minded aproachable people. There was alot of stigma attached to my name but that in alot of ways was a blessing in disguise It weeded out the true friends from the well wishers for one.

It may be a daunting idea belive me I know. My shyness was crippling and still can be. If you grab the bull by the horns and just keep on going things will get better.
