My mom always seems to bring up to me whenever she thinks I've gained a pound or two, or when my hair doesn't look right. I spend so much of my time trying to live up to her high standards that it weighs down on me. She constantly compares me to other girls and it bothers me.
Also, I got my heart broken once and have ever only been in that one relationship. Since then, I've rejected every guy that's ever tried to ask me out on a date or ask me to be his girlfriend. Sometimes I think I'll be alone for the rest of my life because I'm so afraid of letting anyone in.
People always compliment me on how happy I always am, but I guess I just got good at pretending after so many years.

I'll bet anything you're beautiful...you're not alone.
My mom will always tell me how she expects so much more out of me at home, at school, appearance-wise. She compares me to all my friends and all her friend's children. Instead of focusing on what I AM, she criticizes what I am NOT. And she's always talking to my dad about how they wanted a son but got me instead. Sometimes I think they're joking but they bring it up so much that deep down, I realize they're not. I love my parents and I know they love me, but there is just so much they don't realize that bothers me.
I've gotten my heart broken too, but please don't let one guy stop you from letting others in. You're always at risk to get hurt in a relationship, but if you don't try, you'll never know... here are a few inspiring quotes:
- All you need is that one guy who will prove that they're not all the same.
- Love is giving someone your heart and trusting them not to break it
- God made it so that we all got our heart broken once so that the guy you're REALLY supposed to be with finds the other half, finds you to give it back, and puts it back together.
As for happiness, I hope you do find it someday. Maybe, try to find one thing each day that made you smile or feel happy? I'm sure there must be something...maybe it's PurseForum! I know that makes my day sometimes. It's the little things that count.
Here's to better days

Feel free to PM me if you ever need to talk!
Lots of hug and love!
