I often don't feel liked. And I don't think it's paranoia

If it is paranoia though it’s my only symptom with meds. I know when I was a kid I got picked on a lot. So to grow up thinking no one likes me I don’t think that’s paranoia. I thinks it’s been my reality.

I have the same issue often, I know that it’s a two street though. Be kind to yourself, including other members expressing the same feeling about themselves

oh right, yeah maybe you’re just super harsh on yuorself. you do seem to pick on yourself a lot about potential defects - how did the autism diagnosis effect you, did you find some relief?

I know people dont like me lol. Probably because they are jealous i got more money than them. Ive had the usual arm chair twats in pubs, passing judgement as well, as if, after their 8th pint - they are qualified to make comment on mental illness and the benefits system.

Its a fact of life. Your simply not going to get on with everybody. Your gonna get some haters. The trick is - not to take it personally.

Your gonna feel the impact more of negative emotions from other people - purely cos your probably over sensitive to it. Mental illness does that to you. You over analyse everything - because your feeling vulnerable.

I think you’ve made posts similar to this before and I’ll give you the same answer: You’re alright; you’re as likable as anyone else. You don’t seem like a bad person or an unlikable person. I think we all go through this at some point so I understand your doubts.

It helped somewhat I go easier on myself but I’m still my worst critic. I need to stop doing this to myself

I never really felt liked either.

If one is unliked by almost everyone but still has one’s self then it’s not so bad but when they take who you are and don’t give you space to just be and feel like self then that’s bad.

That some don’t like one but pretty much no one has ever liked me .

I am such a outcast and feel like almost whole countries were a part of doing nasty things to me and taking who I am kinda and covering it up and pretending etc

Excluded , bully vibed , set up , lied about , walked all over , disrespected, de valued , hated etc

Avoid those who treat you bad vibes but when that’s almost everyone around you where can you go ..

I miss living out country.
My x was protective and respected so I wasn’t bullied there or hated (except his friends did act disrespectful otherwise good).
I should be able to protect myself.

I almost dated a lawyer two years ago.
I wonder if he was my boyfriend if I would be bullied but I adore my man .:slightly_smiling_face:he doesn’t have a job or realestate and I guess he and I are seen as losers .

I should be able to protect myself and my man and my people (hoping I have a people somewhere in world ).

I’ve been turn other cheek , take abuse and act like nothing because I can’t prove anything legally n so many “powerful “ people in on it all got each others backs …
Even if I legally had evidence I couldn’t afford a lawyer.

I would have to be so intelligent genius brilliant to be able to protect myself and loved ones and get who and all I am back etc

One doesn’t really want to be around people one feels doesn’t like one and belittle and exclude and bad vibes at etc

I tend to isolate .

Honestly even walking my dog down the street is difficult because I don’t like being on same foot path as them with their fakeness and nastiness .

Wishing us to be United with a people who love us appreciate us value us care for us .
A better people to and for us .

The feeling of not being liked @Ish is a very strong one with me. Like you and others here I was bullied at school. The bullying starting when at boarding school(prep school 8-13, public school 13-18) The bullying at public school being quite a lot worse than the bullying at prep school. There’s paranoia that based on things that could be possible, and there’s totally bizarre paranoia based on things that are completely divorced from reality.

A recurring theme running through my history as a forum user is that of feeling unwanted and disliked when my comments don’t get a reply or just one or two replies.

The paranoia caused by bullying related trauma is one of the main reasons, but not the only one, why I have brushed aside suggestions to do a college course of some kind. I can’t trust that I won’t be bullied , as I was at prep and public school.

I dont think its paranoia for me either to feel this eay more like trauma related and being autistic makes people just not like me right off the bat at times. But it is what it is right. I prefer to keep my circle small now a days anyway

Even if I wanted to have another go at broadening my social network, my limited mobility would prevent me from doing so. More people respect me for my intellect, than like me as a person.
