It 's in my head that people are fed up with me . Can think of no logical reason why that should be but it’s still gnawing at me. A part of me is saying “Whoa!, paranoia” and another is saying " But it feels like it’s true"
People on here? Has even one person said they’re fed up with you? You can’t expect everybody to like you. Not even the Beatles were liked by everyone and they were the most popular music act in history. Maybe some people are fed up with you but I often see positive feedback to your posts. I personally don’t read every post you make because I don’t feel like putting that much effort into reading serious articles. But hey, that’s on me, I’m sure lots of people are helped by your posts and read them often, in fact, I’m positive that you help people.
I see you get a little insecure on here sometimes about people maybe not liking you or you think you’re not wanted here. How many times do we have to tell you that you are doing fine and that people accept you here? But if you keep posting stuff like this it’s fine by me. I get a little paranoid on here too occasionally. Good luck.
On here and on another forum . As said can think of no logical reason why it should be so and I guess there might be some mental misinterpretation going on or taking 2+2 and thinking it is 5 or 6.
Thanks for your input @77nick77.
I like your post… and I think you bring some amazing information to the table.
Do you think the paranoia spike might be happening because you have company coming for an over night visit?
I get a bit out there when cousins and the such are in town and I have to go see them…
I like them… but it’s hard to have strangers around.
Good luck and I hope you feel more relaxed soon.
That might be having some effect-yes. I always feel nervous when it comes to strangers. I think low self esteem and being on my own a lot(to put it mildly) doesn’t help. I find the whole interacting with others,especially strangers, can be quite difficult . It’s a social aspect that the medication is only minimally effective for.
This happens to me a lot, I have one or two unsatisfactory interactions and from that start believing that all of a sudden everyone is tired of me or that I’ve done something wrong.
It used to get really bad, I would totally withdraw and be afraid to say anything to anyone.
Now it helps for me to try to imagine other things that might make them act that way (if I’m not feeling brave) or ask them if things are okay (if I am feeling brave). It almost never ends up being about me.
I think that we can get bored with ourselves more easily because we are by ourselves more of the time. I am very critical in finding faults with others so that I will even look for faults in myself when there is no one else around to judge.
yeah you good here.
@firemonkey you are great here
No worries! **
Its your paranoia talking @firemonkey - You are a valuable member here, No need to worry
it is not true…
take care
I have that paranoia too. I believe people at work hate me. That my husband hates me. That people here hate me. But then it gets better for a while and then it’s back again. I try thinking logic. What proof do I have for my thoughts. I never find proof of anyone hating me. My paranoid thoughts also makes me feel like a scam. Voices tell me I’m making it all up. That there is nothing “wrong” with me. But I know they are voices and no spirits or demons.
You are not hated here.
Be careful, because we can have a way of making our expectations come true. For instance, you might find yourself walking away from people because you think you’re annoying them, and because of that they might think you think you’re better than them. There are other similar tricks we can play on ourselves.
