So I often feel when I am around large groups of people or even small groups of friends that people dislike me being there or are talking about me. Even when its just small groups of friends I feel like if I leave the room people will start talking about me even if this isn't necessarily true. I was bullied A LOT in middle school and I think that's where a lot of this fear stems from. I was wondering if anyone else felt this way and had any rational way of dealing with it instead of just isolating myself and breaking down when I may not even need to.
