Hey. Does anyone else feel like they are Disliked by the majority of people? I have social anxiety (along with several other issues, my previous posts have more info) and I can't seem to get over this feeling like even complete strangers hate me. I know it sounds paranoid, it's hard to tell if I am paranoid simply because it feels SO real to me. I go outside and every person I see on the street looks at me in disgust. It's a nasty look, rolling eyes, or murmering somthing offensive to them self's. I haven't quite found out what they say although I've defintly heard "yuck" or "gross" if it's two people walking together, they turn to each other after passing me and laugh. Sometimes one or both of them looks behind their backs and smirk.
It's everyday the whole time I'm out. I'm so reliefed to get back home, where I can feel safe. It makes it really difficult to trust anyone, I always question the motives of people which in turn can make me appear cold. There is obviously something about me, my appearance that makes people hate me.
I hate living like this. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist in a few weeks. I'm in the UK so that's with the NHS and the waiting time is actually very short compared to normal because my doc put in an urgent request.
Does anyone else suffer from paranoia? How do you deal with it? It's making me miserable.
