Dad's trying to give you confidence.....I'm quite positive he's referring to you as the whole package.

Get going on the employment......even if it's beginner part time, economy is growing and plenty of work out there for the willing....that by itself will build confidence.

I guess. but it's hard not to think that, when I know I'm smart and interesting and fun and funny, and capable of having conversations and stuff...and the only thing it seems like these other people have on me is that they're prettier. well, I guess it's not the only thing, because they also have jobs and cars, and probably their own places. and friends, and decent families.

yeah...I always sort of resented that, because obviously it's not true, because if it was guys would at least seem interested, and talk to me and stuff. but of course, he just thinks that because he's my dad, and I look like him.

maybe. maybe some are like that. like I said, it just seemed to be part of the whole thing that after a while, it just seemed like he just wanted someone pretty, and cute, to make funny faces at each other and stuff. lol. idk. maybe it's just part of the whole impression I got, that you're just there to look pretty and be nice and happy and everything.
