Burn scars, im 25, lonely and wanna feel better

Hi, i am 25 now and female from indonesia. I was a cheerful girl but cant be like that again since 15years ago, that made life changed. Im in a trauma socially, though i think im getting stronger now since i got my 3rd job,

But still cant accept or adjust in so many way that people may react when they meet me for the first time in public space or transports for example.

I got burn in face- injured on my right cheek, to my chin, lips, and some on my left cheeks. Had 3times surgery, y only 3?

Cus my family not that ok to offer plastic surgery at the time.

Now im in my 25 which maybe everyone thinks this is the time to bloom, like i see my friends too- like they have what they want at least with their normal face.

Its still hard for me to accept what people done, like starring to me in weird way, even when i start being friendly to them- asking them abt how r they and etc.

It always awkward, i know they just thinking why my scars ended up there.

I just need some helps with how to behave and make my self feel better

I tried yoga, meditation, i pray too, i do some treatment for my scars too, i think it looks better now, but still not good.

I dont know what i have to do, i never had this kind of discussion with anyone- about my face, my discomfort, mostly my friends would listen but has nothing to say.

My family also, do the same.

I never have friend who facing the same issue.
