Sorry you're going through that. I was bullied too, and my parents did a lot of damage to my self-esteem.
I was a very awkward kid and young adult. Now people describe me as outgoing and pleasant to be with. It took some effort, but it's doable.
What I'm trying to say is, please believe that you can overcome that too, even if it sounds hard or near impossible. I thought I was a hopeless case. But I could do it and so can you.
