TW : self doubt

Tommy's POV:

     Toby's smile. Rylan's hair. The way Tub's walks. Ry's quiet voice.

     My crooked smile. My messy hair. My weird walk. My loud voice. Why can't I be like them? I'm so loud and ugly, I'm just a 3 compared to these 10s. I bite my nails, why am I so jealous of how they look? How they act? What's wrong with me?


     "I don't feel good enough. They are both so perfect, I don't understand."

     Puffy's kind eyes looked at me and she took my hand, "Toms, they aren't perfect, they can't be and you aren't either. I mean that in the nicest way possible, nobody is perfect no matter how hard they try."

     My leg bounced up and down, "But why do I seen them like that then?"

     "Well, from what you've told me about your family, mainly your siblings, you were compared to them, correct?"

     I nodded. "That's probably a cause of why you feel that way then, you're still in a mindset where you feel like you have to compare yourself to others."

     I looked at Puffy, and I thought about what she said, "That does make a lot of sense."


     As I got home from my therapy appointment, I walked up to Toby, "Can I give you a hug please?" Toby looked up at me, concerned, "Yeah? Are you okay, Bossman?"

     I hugged Toby tightly, "Yes I'm fine, I just really needed a hug."  Toby gave me a huge hug back, patting my shoulder, "That's okay!"

     I took a deep breath. Everything is fine.
