    I constantly feel like people hate me...

     

    I dont know whether this should be in Self Esteem or Mental Health cause its kinda social anxiety...but here goes....

    I constantly feel like people hate me. Even my friends. I have a small group of people I would really call my friends, 4 I suppose. I have quite a few friendly acquaintances & one girl I used to call my "friend" & I suppose Ive made up with her...but I get nervous because I think she still hates me, talks about me, & most of all I cant trust her, because even when we were proper friends, once or twice she suddenly started saying horrible things to me on Facebook out of nowhere...I could tell she didnt want to fall out because afterwards she said it was her brother on her account...but I know & have proof it was her. i didnt confront her about it though.

    But I feel like people find me annoying or boring. I used to be really confident but since coming to secondary school I've become quite shy & sensitive - like if someone says something negative to me, even if its just me mentioning a band or a TV show & someone says "ohhh.. I dont like that" I'll take it really personally.

    I hate the way I look & I feel like people judge me for it.

    I also often feel lonely & a few times at school I've started crying out of nowhere & only one person has come up to me & asked if i was okay, but if anyone else cries, loads of people ask them..

    I dont know of anyone other than the girl I mentioned before that openly dislikes me, & even then she says she doesnt hate me anymore, so i shouldnt worry...but i feel like people are judging me all the time
    & the worst part is its not like i feel like people hate me in particular, I just feel like nobody cares....

    does anyone else have this problem & does anyone know how i can be more confident with myself? :/

    ...Thanks. Yeah I still feel lonely but it does help. like sometimes you forget that other people will feel the same way which makes you feel even lonelier. but i guess its good to know im not the only one. Thank you so much :) xx
