How can i be less self concious??

---

Hello my name is kaleb watts. I have an eye diseace called retenitis pigmentosis, i have found almost all my life i have been self concious of every thing i do, every little move, sction, word, literally anything. My social life isnt the best, i am nice to everyone in my school, but for 8 years of school (im 13) i have found that whatever school i go the rumors about me follow me, and that even though i try not to care about my vision which affects everything i do, People just dont like me online people like me which is weird to me because i have more friends online then in real life. But i am actually self concious about literally everything i do, so, can someone help me or tell me how to be less self concious i would love it if someone could I would like to stop hiding in my life and show who i really am. believe it or not this was extremely hard for me to even post this

@KalebTheShy Welcome to the family which is A2A. Being different sucks. Especially in adolescence when it seems that the goal is not to be unique, but rather to be the same as everyone else. What are these rumors that follow you? Is it possible you might be hearing voices that aren't there? Sometimes we look at the world the way we think it is and not really the way that it really is.

Many famous people have chosen to make the best of their disability and have gone on to be quite successful. Some have the same disease that you do: http://retinitispigmentosatreatment.com/celebrities-who-have-retinitis-pigmentosa/

My advice to you is to continue to be a friend to all and sooner or later someone will discover just how much of a special friend you can be. Try to avoid using this as a crutch. but rather use it as a springboard to life successes.

Ok i will do thankyou alot @readyrofo i think this will help me and these rumors are different thing just things like i like different people, ive done illegal stuff, i know that there is more... Those are the knly ones i can think of right now though. Thankyou though

I am sorry i mispelt your name lol i meant @readytogo. I will look at the link now.

I liked the jazz one because i played trombone last year! :D i didn't know such famous people had my eye diseace... I watch csi and i didnt know he had rp...

One other thing is that i want to be an I.T tech person when i can because, i am really good with computers but no one can actually see what i can do because no one pays attention

@KalebTheShy I know someone who got a degree in programming when he was effectively blind. So much is possible!

The school system, especially at the lower levels, isn't always very good at seeing special skills because they are looking so much at basic skills. Sometimes they need a bit of pushing! :)
