Feeling sad and lonely.

I'm sorry you're feeling sad. Don't worry how you look in this life, which is temporary along with all the things in it. God looks on the heart, and will manifest his sons in glory.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8:18-19

Hi, you know what? Seems like you're feeling you're at one of the lowest point in your life. The good news is, the only way is up. Firstly, don't let social media influence your thoughts. SM is full of fakes, who's gonna actually post ugly photos of themselves, without make-up, money or looking like sh*t?. SM is just a facade, I could go to the Gucci store, buy a shirt take a selfie, post on insta and ask for a refund in 5mins (Someone actually did that). I could buy knock-offs and post my new shoes etc. Anyway, you get my point. SM only show the good side, everything good, nothing bad and this is NOT the reality in the world. Look at celebrity suicides, why would it happen if they're all as "happy" as they look online??

Anyway, my point is, since you're at your lowest point, get back up (doesnt matter how slowly). Start exercising, get in a better shape (if you think you're ugly and what's better than to prove your dad wrong. If he continues to let u feel that you're not worthy, tell him that look, i am exercising, tell me again in 3 or 6 or 9 or 12 months time.), go exercise, go work out. Don't let anything stop you and I'm pretty sure your confidence will go sky high! Go for a jog, unwind yourself, my friend, enjoy the run, the breeze and the sights around you. At home, listen to music that calms you down, look up meditation, clear your headspace with apps like "headspace", "Calm" etc. Do what you love, find a motivation, be it games, starting a personal project (Start a garden, a plan to make money, pursue your favourite sport, a hobby?) and you'll eventually make more friends. You're 21, this is just a hurdle in your life, jump over this and go all the way. 10 years later, maybe you remember this thread you made and say you've made it and update us when it happens. You're not alone buddy!

People may say your ugly, you may say it yourself, but it is a lie.

We are all precious and loved in God's eyes. We have each been accepted and welcomed into his family, and as such we are brothers and sisters, and God is our father.

As such, you should be able to walk into a church and have as many friends as you want, after all, the father has brought you into the family, and chosen you to be our brother.

The world may reject you by your apperance, but the love of the world is shallow, and the love of God is much much deeper. If your important to God, then you should be important to us. Afrer all..

Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God

11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

The point im trying to make is that, you shouldnt be lonely whilst being in his family, you should always be able to have friends, no matter your physical apperance. If your not then we have fallen short of his love.

You dont understand the kingdom of God or his family, i suggest studying up on it, and learning who you are, or what God's family should be about, and how God see's us. Once you start understanding these things, you should feel much better.

Note, that they should love you for who you are, it doesnt matter if your not good at talking, it doesnt matter how you look. None of it matters, we should love you anyway.

That is SO very true, friend! We all must be 'shut up' to God in faith and peace. Let the evil souls and the worldly souls act in their ungodly ways, but our Creator-God loves His children, and IF we will RECEIVE and live for His "...beloved Son" (our Lord Jesus), we have the love and care of our God, and the TRUE saints of God in this world will also be our 'all the way home' friends. I do not let the deceit of Satan rule my life by his efforts to defeat me. I don't care if one does not like me ---my Lord does. God says: "he that has the Son, has life (eternal), and he that has not the son, has not life eternal" (note 1 Jn. 5:10-12). So, my counsel to Andrew is go in peace, friend, as you walk with our Savior. Would you agree?

I second what everyone else has implied here, God loves you and you are precious in his sight. I used to have similar experiences coming from a verbally abusive home, I didn't have much confidence in myself. I want to encourage you with Donkky12 remarks above; if you want to do some changing, take a look at some fitness ideas you might find exciting. Learn new things in diet and exercise that will bless your life. God gave us amazing bodies that will do what we train them to do. If fitness and nutrition are things you are unhappy with, there is amazing opportunity to transform with commitment and God's help. Above all things you are wonderfully made after God's own image and loved by him and all of us reaching out to you.

Maybe you might want to join some new activity.I means like it might be easier for you to makes a new friend in a place that no one knows you before. Base on my stories, I have been a kind of a very shy person in the past. And it really difficult for me to make a closed friends in a place where someone knows me because it’s like they judge me that I going to be quiet and would not like to talk much. I not good at English, but I going to try my best to explain my opinion. I means It might easier to met a new friend in a place that no one knows you. And also in my opinion, Everyone have their own styles. Everyone can looks good in their style. But we need to start in believe in ourselves. I really believe that we all have our own beauty. No one ugly and you don’t need to care what others said.
#sorry for my bad English
