Suggest ways to overcome low self confidence
Patient: I m 15 and I m a freshman in high school .my sister is 17 and she s a senior everyday people tell me your sisters pretty or she has a nice body etc. this really upsets me because I feel ugly and that no one likes me. All the freshman boys always tell me how pretty she is and I don t know what to say. Also my confidents is low and idk what to do anymore. I also hate how they Check her out right in front of me please help me. Doctor: Thanks for your query. Firstly, you have to be happy with the way you look, you have to tell yourself that if someone don't like you then that is there problem and not yours. once you are happy and satisfied with your looks and you feel happy about that, what others say about you wouldn't matter to you. Also, you need to set a limit with your friends what they talk to you about your sister, you need to ignore them if they don't adhere to the limits that you set. If they crosses a limit in relation to their behavior towards your sister then you need to approach appropriate authorities.
