Everyone always thinks I'm mean, stuck up, or just plain weird. I quite. First impressions are awful... I FEEL LIKE NOBODY KNOWS ME!!!! But I'm trying. I REALLY am. I WANT to know people, and I want them to know me! Really, really! I go places when I don't feel like it, and am trying to be assertive. I just feel like everyone already has friends....
Sigh.

I'm sorry Andrea. People will get to know you, and when they do, they will love you.
Let's remember that I just noticed you had puffy hair; it had nothing to do with stuck up, mean, or weird :)
And you don't have ultra-puffy anymore, eh?
It's cliche, but "just be yourself." Everything else will follow.
I must admit the title of this post made me laugh a little because it's so...blunt. I realize you were probably just venting temporary frustrations that will dissolve soon and you aren't necessarily asking for a morale boost, but here are my thoughts on a subject that has come up often between us in the past.
Don't give into those thoughts. I'm proud of you for going where you don't want to (for now) and doing what's uncomfortable sometimes, because I know how hard that is for both of us in new situations. But don't assume people don't like you. It's unproductive and probably untrue.
If you didn't have any friends, you might have cause for concern. But, seeing as that is not the case, you must have left a good first impression somewhere along the way (multiple times probably). There is something beautiful and refreshing about you that can't be ignored and it doesn't take long for people to see how you have a sincere compassion for others. That's what keeps drawing people in. Remember the people in your life you share a mutual love and respect for. I know that YOU know it'll come in time at Moody.
I love you dearly and miss you. It's probably a tad selfish, but I wish you were here with me. We could drink tea and I'm sure laughing until our stomachs hurt would help us both feel better.
thank you, guys. I didn't mean to be begging for a "morale boost" i just felt kinda low. And I know the title is blunt. I have been growing very blunt with myself lately :)
(glad to hear its not "ultra-puffy", eh? :))
I wish I could be with you too, hallie. I look forward to an intimate talk soon...and hopefully one in person soon, too. I love you tons.
