I know that a lot of people with SA have problems with people thinking others don't like them. So I was wondering... Do you have reasons to think that people don't like you, or do you just feel that way because of SA/low self-esteem, etc.?
I have legitimate reasons to know people don't like me because people have told me straight to my face that they don't like me. Just last summer, my neighbor told me that I'm an unlikeable person. As a kid, I was told by at least three adults that they didn't like me. Plus, two therapists & my vocational specialist told me that they thought I was "gruff," "rude," "cold," "aloof" etc. for a long time until they got to know me better.
I come off as unlikeable because I'm so scared around people & never know what to do or say or how to interact. But I'm actually a very nice person & am just unable to show that.
