I'm always the odd one out no matter what I do. It makes me think there's something wrong with me and it upsets me. Coming back from my holiday made me realise that even more. Everyone's always watching me in public and I'm not treated like how every other normal person is treated. I'm the weird one if I do the things that other normal people do. What's the point of doing anything if I'm not treated like a normal person? I'll still be the odd one out. I think it's because of my appearance, since it's the first thing people see. I've heard people say 'who is that?' and 'who is she?' in a negative way, and I think my appearance was the reason they said that. There's no such thing like dressing, looking, talking, or walking weird etc, but if there's nothing wrong with me, I don't get why everyone watches me as if I'm an alien, or why I'm not treated like other normal people. This happens all the time. I'm used to it, but it hurts my feelings and I'm feeling hurt right now. I'll end it here. Thank u for reading this, I appreciate it.

Let us know how you get on
I'd say if you do try something like CBT or other forms of help/support, it would definitely be a good idea to talk about how you feel in regards to this - they'd probably be able to offer you ways of almost addressing these thoughts so you can become more confident in yourself etc.
But remember you are amazing and awesome and has challenging as the mindset may be in a world where everyone wants to be 'normal', it can be good to be different - its what makes you you.
Hope you're feeling okay this morning and sending you a big hug
