I have old friends who used to respect me, but now they're disrespecting me and making fun of me with their words. Some of them want to fight me, and I could beat them. I know that if I beat them, some people will respect me, but when I get to that point, I turn pale and tremble. I have a kind and honest personality; I wish good for people, I joke around a lot, and I'm forgiving. I can't say no to some people for fear of their reaction. I get nervous sometimes if one of my friends looks at me; I imagine they'll laugh at me. If someone says something I don't like, I keep thinking about it, even when they're belittling me. I can't leave them because I don't have any friends. My problem is that I used to be athletic, but now I smoke. I feel like my life is ruined, and I can't move forward. (Please, I need a solution. I'm 19 years old, and I've started thinking too much about this, more than my life. Even my relationship with my family has become strange.) #relationships source
