@Midnight Phantom I worry about the same things. I'm not worried about people finding me weird or creepy (unless they find out that I talk to imaginary people and animals because I'm lonely).

I think that two different colored eyes sounds really cool!  Anyway I have a partial paralysis in my right eye so my eyes are always looking in different directions. The worst things about it are

 

1. My smile is crooked. I can't force a smile because only the left side of my mouth goes up.

 

2. When I don't move my head and look up, my left eye goes up but my right eye still looks straight forward, so I see double and it also looks sort of scary.

 

I also think that you are a perfectionist (like me) if you're thinking you're not good enough and aiming for perfection. If so, you should write POSITIVE things about yourself. Such as your strength might not be art, and that's okay. You have your own strengths and that's what makes you YOU.

Hey Midnight (may I call you that?), sorry I wasn't sure what to type up before but I think I have a little advice now.

 

To start off, I want to say that I actually like your appreciation for creepy things. You've come off to me as someone who likes ghost stories and spirits. I think that's cool! And the fact that you have different colored eyes is also cool. I'd say, if you do like scary things, embrace it. Read ghost stories, watch horror movies, whatever you like to do. If you start making your liking for these things more obvious, you'll also start finding people who have the same interests as you. Then you'll start making more friends, who you'll feel comfortable around as you get to know them. Think of this like a way to sort of... help along your anxiety, I guess? You'll likely feel less nervous around people if your talking about things that excite you while you're with them.  

 

I agree with Unknown CBer on the note that you should write positive things about yourself. I don't always feel that my art is as good as other CBers too, but I remember that they weren't magically good. They had lots of practice. And none of the other people on here are judging you because you're not like them--one of the best parts about the CB is that the people here are open-minded and appreciative of others, even if they can't relate to them. 

Lastly and probably most importantly, I want to say that you should probably talk to your parents and/or school counselor about this anxiety and low-self esteem you're having. That may seem embarrassing and make you feel like something's wrong with you, so I want to assure you that nothing's wrong! Thousands of people, including myself, feel nervous when talking to someone new and worry sometimes about their ability, appearance, and the way other people see them. But it's important to make sure these thoughts aren't hurting you and getting in your way. Luckily, there are plenty of people who can help you. It will take courage to speak up about it, and you can write a letter or e-mail if it's easier than saying it aloud. 
Good luck! We're all rooting for you! :D

How can you say that you aren't good at art??? I think that looks really great and I can't draw like that. I especially like the eyes.

What?! I'm not kidding when I say that is AMAZING. You are just as good as all the other artists on here and I love your style. The hair and eyes are both really realistic! You don't have to but if you post your art more often I'm sure a lot of people would see and think it's great. But I do get how you feel. Sometimes I feel like I'm no good at art either especially compared to everyone else. But everyone's art is unique and amazing in its own ways and lots of people have other talents besides drawing. And i think it's awesome your into creepy things. I am too especially ghost story's. Also my cousin has two different colored eyes and I think he's the coolest looking person I've ever met. I wish I had two different colored eyes - your really lucky. Also I feel like your life sounds like the plot of a awesome book! A family working in a funeral home... two different colored eyes... AWESOME. I agree that you should embrace your creepiness and uniqueness. And by the way I really like your CB name.
