You are not alone. When speaking to others, I often feel as if I'm making a fool of myself, annoying others, and as if I'm being a nuisance. I feel as if others are talking about me in a negative manner. I believe I'm someone people just tolerate. What's strange is that I don'tbhave a problem talking to others. I suspect my issue is slight paranoia and feelings of inadequacy due to esteem issues which have been going on ever since I can remember. It os good to know I am not alone.

So yeah, I emailed her today to ask for another appointment but now I think she probably thinks I'm the most annoying person in the world (she hasn't replied yet by the way). I also wrote a message to a person I've gotten to know recently (she hasn't replied either). It was a short message where I was just asking her how she's doing. Now I, for some reason, think she probably thinks I'm bothering her and that she doesn't want me to contact her. I even feel like that when I'm posting things here.

I feel insufficient and inferior all the time. I feel like a burden as soon as I contact people or ask questions. As soon as I contact someone I have to contact (psychologists, teachers etc) I feel like I'm the last person they want to hear from. I spend quite a bit of time worrying if I've done something wrong or if I'm too intense or something. It feels like they're all judging me.

I don't know if this is caused by my social anxiety disorder, low self-esteem, a combination of both or something else. All I know is that it's freaking annoying and scary.

Can you relate to this? Why do I think people hate me all the time?
