If I were to guess, I'd say it happens much more intensely, like what happened tonight, when I'm stressed.
Sometimes I wonder if there's a diagnosis that goes with this thought process / perception issue. But I think the most important thing is that I know its there, and that I keep pausing, reaching out, and reflecting. Its only been the past couple of years I've even come to notice it and admit its there, instead of just thinking "people dislike me." That's progress.

Honestly, having been through so much abuse, I do the same thing. I question compliments and praise, and wonder what the ulterior motive is, or if they are really making a backhanded compliment. It's taken a bit to just take compliments and praise at face value. You're not alone in that.
