Dear Debbie,
I'm not good at communicating with others, so my classmates don't like talking to me. When my best friend isn't there, I just sit at my desk quietly. I'm not good enough for anyone. I just want to die. My parents think I'm fine, and I don't want to worry them. But I started crying in class today. What should I do?
Amy
Dear Amy,
I was like you four years ago. I think we live in a world where we often compare ourselves with others. I think you should really look at yourself in the mirror and try praising(表扬) yourself. It helped you love yourself more. You know, almost everyone experiences those feelings many times in their lives. Surprised? But it's true.
Many people think you are good enough. I am one of them. I am sure your parents and your friends feel the same. Go outside and try to hang out with people. Make small steps.
Lastly, talk with a psychiatrist(心理医生). And trust your psychiatrist. If you can't trust him or her, then you may get the wrong person. Find another one.
I say these things because I was in your shoes once. I was ready to die. But years later, I'm here and talking to you about it. Don't give up.
Debbie
