š«Iāve been in the same boat. Since I was 13 I became really self conscious of my appearance, mainly due to other peopleās comments, and then that was exacerbated from 16-18 during college because people got meaner for some reason. I felt terrible, and the lockdowns unexpectedly saved me as it gave me a break from all those people.
It made me realise I should only stick with people who like me for who I am, not how I look. Then ignore all those comments and ignore those people, make them feel awkward for saying those things if they do. Even if people arenāt saying comments, just think less of what others think of you.
You are what you are, donāt try to change your appearance just to please people who might not care much about you in the first place. Donāt let your appearance bring you down, ignore those annoying flaws and be more confident to outshine any imperfections you think you might have. Donāt be afraid to do things you enjoy and spend time with new people.
Ofc others may have different advice as my problems are either impossible to change or very difficult to, so Iāve learned to be content with how my body is, and just play with the hand Iāve been dealt (which unfortunately means Iām not perfect at this and for instance still wear more clothes than others during the summer). But Iām generally very happy now with lots of good friends who like me for who I am.

šæmy personal mantra is āif everythingās cringe, nothingās cringeā and it sounds so silly but it really has helped me. also i spent my teenage years burying myself under 16 layers of irony, so now anything i do out of genuine interest and curiosity feels like taking a breath of fresh air cuz i donāt have to justify it with pretentious or apathetic attitudes, it is so freeing

šthere ās something so funny about seeing a friend before they notice you cause itās like a look into what theyāre like alone
seeing how they walk when theyāre by themselves or their expression when theyāre just going about or looking around

šŗmost of the time itās internet archive but iāll
take anything (to a point obviously i actually have some standards for illegal websites)
iāve actually been so successfully recently though so try it
wonāt work really for newer films which obviously makes sense but if you donāt want to pay like Ā£10 for a film that isnāt really on many streaming services then try this and you might win
