its what you think about yourself... right?

i have alot of same issues as you, im 26 years old.. but i never opened myself to friendship in school because i put myself down...
everyone has good things abouyt them self.. you must look within and see what is good and focus on yourself, what you think is good about yourself... its not that people dont like you, maybe its that people dont like how you like yourself... i know all about it, its not easy to find things to like about yourself, but you are young and you can be very very successful, im not saying you are not trying dont take me the wrong way please, i just wan you to see how good you are, you are unique and special and people will love you for the way you are if you open yourself toit, you just have to love yourself first... ok? you sound really nice to me, i like you

I guess people see that I don't like myself. I try to like myself, I really do, but I have put downs by other people so it's hard to like yourself when many people in your life put you down. I'm called fat constantly, which is partially true, but I'm not even 200 pounds. People make fun of what I wear, how I act. I'm at the point where if people compliment me, I don't know if they actually me it. I tend to not thank them like I mean it unless it's a small thing like my shirt. If they tell me I'm smart, I barely smile and immediately go into neutral face. It's pretty bad, and right now the whole compliment thing is out of control, but maybe people see that I don't thank them for them saying nice things.

Having social anxiety disorder makes me feel judgement 24/7, and not good judgement. I guess for me, it's like "when someone is complimenting me or being nice or being interested in me, I always wonder if they actually like me or if I'm being used or being judged".

Thanks though [emoji3].
