I'm very bad and making friends and I think everyone's going to judge me. I'm not saying I haven't felt welcomed here on Psych Central, it's just I feel like everyone's all talking together and then I'm the person and says something and everyone just glares at me. It's irrational really, I guess, I think. I feel like you all hate me - which I hope isn't true! - and I've intruded on some nice gathering where I'm not wanted. In case you think I'm weird, I am weird and babble a lot and thing I say are just odd sometimes. I'm just paranoid about people in general really.

So anyway, I was wondering if people had paranoid feelings that people were judging them on here or in real life somewhere?

hi steph, i understand what you are feeling. i found i had a lot of irrational ideas about myself. like "i must be loved/liked by everyone or i'm not a worthwhile person." this is one example of many i had. therapy helped me to deal with this in a healthy way.
please know we do care about you here at PC. i don't know you but saw your post. so there! i still cared about how you feel.

the longer you stay a member you will find you have a multitude of ppl who become your PC friend. many of us for a multitude of reasons weren't validated irl. it causes us to question our worthiness.
i'm glad you posted. it took courage and you followed thru. i hope my reply may help reassure you. we are all here to receive support from others.
