Few of my friends call me a kid and never give me much importance. I also kinda feel some of my friends are differentiating on the basis of money, a person has and also how pretty they look, what they wear and give less importance to me.

My friends don't give me enough importance. Does that mean something is wrong with me?

Dear Teentalker,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. It sounds like you're feeling the pressure to look,dress and behave in a certain way, even if you don't necessarily agree with your friends and that's okay. Remember, how you feel about yourself, needs to be based on self-acceptance and self-love. It should not be based on how much importance others are giving you or rather not giving you.

In the long-term, it is important that you get to know yourself better; become aware of your strengths, weaknesses, your short-term and long-term goals, values and follow that path accordingly.
