Imagining a situation never occurred. Accepting your looks?

...See more How you stop these thoughts? 'If that hadn't happened, this situation wouldn't have occurred. So instead I'll imagine an alternative reality where that problem didn't happen' Thats general question. But more specifically, I'm often thinking it's possible that my appearance was affected by something when I was younger. say for example you had an accident or you got braces too young and your face didn't develop like you'd expect. This maybe the case. I imagine what life would be like if it developed 'normally'. I feel like you get more respect everywhere. I think peopl laugh at me as I have larger body neck, and good looking top half of face, but comparatively small recessed jaw or 'turkey neck', so ppl may laugh. I may have been good looking if dentist didn't affect forwardgrowth don't know for suremy face now is naturally how I would have looked, but let's just assume it isn't as I'm convinced when I see myself looking at old photos is really hard. Thinking what the dentist did frustrates me. And I know this is material and vain. It's not important in life and I don't want ppl to judge looks either, but it comes into head a lot. Maybe I'll just catch a glimpse in mirror and think if only. Assuming myface has changed how do I accept tis may be what I look like for rest of life? (​If I was naturally ugly I'd accept. If naturally good looking I'd accept but I don't know if this my genes or external, but I'm grateful anyway)

...See more If you don't have many friends or they are unavailable, what do you do? I often hear/see people enjoying their weekends, imagining I'll be like that one day. When there's traffic, people out, there's a buzz, know people are out doing things. But I guess you can train yourself to be happy alone aswell? But you still need some activities. Do you go to the cinema alone?go to sporting events alone? Would that make things worse? And are there any other ideas for what you can do to entertain yourself in the house or outside on fridays or saturdays?( It's easy to turn to tv or video games.)

Talking without making jokes

...See more I always feel like you need to make a joke in a group. People are never serious when there's more than 2 people. If you don't say something lighthearted you'll come across as the joy killer. Maybe it's happening more with the newer generations. But it happens at any age really. It's stops you from speaking your mind. The more sociable the person you are speaking to, the more interesting you have to be aswell.
