Answer Hi Matthew,
Don't give up on life, I've seen so many people give up on life including myself. Life is too great to give up on. Here's some things you don't want to miss out on: college, girls, finding that perfect someone to be with, if you want kids and watching them grow up, just being part of life is a great gift.
I'm 19 myself and I know what you're going through, things get tough and we want to take the easy way out. But what I've figured out for myself is that I'm a fighter and I don't want to take the easy way out. I've had so muh support from my family and friends, and I've come to realize that there is so much that living has to offer, that being dead doesn't.
Can you tell me why you hate everything about yourself? Have you ever talked to anyone about how you feel, like your parents, friends, or a counselor? If not you might want to give that a shot, it really does help.
Being anxious is okay, some girls love it when guys turn red around them. If you feel that you're too anxious a lot of the time you could talk to your doctor and they can write you an anxiety prescription so you don't feel anxious as often.
Don't think of yourself as ugly. In all truth people who think of themselves as ugly just tear themselves down, think positive. Stand in front of the mirror and pick out the things that you like about yourself, and I want you to tell me what you like about yourself and your personality. Can you do that for me?
So try what I said and see if any of this helps you out at all, and let me know.
P.S. Please don't try to take your life, stay here lets chat a little.
