<p>happypoo,</p>
<p>I am concerned because in looking at your back posts, you seem to have a very low opinion of yourself. You call yourself "ugly" and say other derrogatory things.Having such a negative opinion of oneself could be an indication that you could benefit from counseling. That could help you have an easier time, too, adjusting to college, which is coming up soon. Counseling also could help with your shyness, which is a relatively easy concern to address through counseling. If you don't want to get counseling now, keep it in mind for something you could do in college. I have worked at a college counseling center, and lots of students use the services including to address things like shyness.</p>
<p>As for your idea that you're too ugly for anyone to want to date, I doubt it. First look around: You will see plenty of homely women and men who are dating, engaged, married, etc. I once had a female college student who was at least 350 pounds and also clearly had to shave her face, but she had boyfriends. There really is someone for everyone.</p>
<p>When it comes to being the only female in an office, I would be very surprised if someone didn't try to date you. I remember being a very shy h.s. senior working as a cashier in a store. I had only had one date in my life, so I was very awkward with men. Once I a dared joke to a customer that if he was going to the racetrack, he should bring me a present. The guy was old enough to be my father.</p>
<p>I was horrified when a few days later, he came into the store -drunk and waving some money -- saying he wanted to take me on a date. He had to be escorted out by the security guard. </p>
<p>So...ya never know....</p>
