They always stare but never see

One thing I've learnt from life is that everyone craves validation, wether that is from your parents,academic or otherwise, it's human nature.In my case it's always been romantic validation,no I am not unhappy by myself, in fact I'm quite the opposite (at least that's what I try to convince myself anyway) but no matter how hard I try I cannot shake this feeling. This itching sensation that maybe I'm the problem.

Being surrounded by people who get into relationships so easily doesn't help at all being honest, they go on dates and have cute nicknames and yet whenever I open up suddenly relationships are simply "overrated". I can't help but feel like they're oozing with this pretentious self righteousness that drives them to shower me with pity.

Now,I could get myself "out there" but what's the point, high school relationships don't last long anyway and Being my true authentic self Is always "too much".

Too energetic
Too loud
Too annoying
Too different from everyone else
And yet after a lifetime of being told I'm "too much" i was tricked into thinking I'm not enough.

I won't stop being myself any time soon though , even if they don't like who I am, even if I'll never find love during my early years,even if I'll get disappointed again and again because I know that there must be someone out there who sees ME. Someone who looks at me and thinks I'm enough,somone who doesn't just stare with dirty looks but who sees my true self and thinks that I'm beautiful.
