I think that everybody hates me

[anglesean]

I dont know if I have a problem or not, but I think that everybody that I meet hates me. Family members, friends, other people in school, strangers, people from camp, people on any vacation I go to. Im always worrying about if they hate me and Im always trying so hard to be perfect and make them like me. Im super paranoid and I always read into every word, every action that they do. I always think people are talking about me, ignoring me, running out of a room when I come in, or laughing behind my back. I take everything to serious, and sometimes as a personal attack.
So that is basically it, I think everybody hates me, and everything I see them do (even it may appear not to have anything to do with me) is because they hate me and dont want to be around me.
Is this an issue, like a mental disease of something? Help!

I feel like this is just another characteristic of a social anxiety stricken person - I think there is a level of paranoia that comes with the territory.

I know I'm always hyper-aware of how people view me, and I probably imagine some things, because my senses are all on high alert. It doesn't make the feelings go away, but it sometimes helps me to realize I'm being crazy when I start feeling this way.

And I'm sure everyone doesn't hate you! You seem nice!
