Your whole post makes no sense... anyways just lose some weight, gain some confidence... and be outgoing.

Please clarify that people take the piss out of me. I don't know what that means.



You may be going through a mild depression. I can't tell how old you're but there is no crime in being slightly overweight. How exactly does being bored make you look bigger?



Please consider counselling if only for awhile. You don't have to be shy and lack confidence. Don't let idiots get you down. Once they see that something bothers you, the cowards keep going because they have idiot friends who agree with their stupid behavior and words.



The heck with them. Walk proudly, ignore stupid people, keep good quality friends and don't let people see that it bothers you when they are mean.



If you want to lose weight, start an exercise routine, start eating healthy foods and love the person in the mirror. While the weather is still mild, go for a walk after school or work. Walk a few blocks instead of taking a bus. Have your friends join you in a walk around the mall. If you have a bike, ride it. If you don't have one, borrow someone else's or ask for one.



Just going up and down stairs for 20 minutes will start to show effects quickly. Everyone's body is different so don't worry that you don't see obvious results right away. The process takes time and if you're patient and persistent, you will see improvement.



Good luck. Consider talking to someone about your mood. Take care.

This would be blunt. Maybe you need that. There is a simple thing that is ruining your life. It is the poor decisions that you have made. You have described symptoms of the issue (bored, slightly overweight, no confidence, etc.) but you havent' described the issue.



You are the captain of your ship. Seems that on many occasions, you have given the wheel to someone else. You need to start somewhere to change that.



I don't know what to tell you but no matter what I (or anybody else) tell you, the final decision is yours. You could start by shedding a few pounds. How many ? You decide. My wife recently has lost 40 lbs (over 3 months) for a good reason that she chose. She is a new woman. Her spirits have soared, she is full on energy and enthusiasm because she feels far better about herself. I feel you need to do soemthing that will result in your feeling better about yourself. And there are others. Once you do this, you would be in a position to explore why the low confidence, why the shyness and why you have the friends you do. I also get the feeling that your friends may not have your best interests at heart. Sticking up for you as you said they do, makes them an enabler and you will not be able to break the cycle you're in by contunuing to rely on them for 'sticking up'. The way you live your life now is clearly not giving you na advantage. That being the case, you don't need people telling you that you're doing OK when you're NOT.



It may be helpful to list your good qualities (called strengths) which you could build on. Improve your strengths and you will have a much better opinion of yourself. That could be a different kind of start.
