Am I Paranoid?

    Why do I always think that no one likes me? I constantly put myself down, have no self confidence. The few friends I ever make, I always seem to drive away! What is wrong with me? HELP..

    so, i'm not the only one. me: i try to make friends but i'm so desperate that i push them away. i make mistakes and i know that everyone does, but i always think "why me?" or "i'm so stupid". self confidence is not on my vocabulary. i say there's nothing wrong with you. i like you, you don't push me away. you're not paranoid.

    how can i help you? i don't know... eric's said it. i'm always here if you need to talk. but honestly, i myself hate when people take pity on me and think that i need help. so what can i do? to make you feel better?

    i think its a dillusion-paranoia is a psychosis that
    inhibits reasoning. The fact that you are asking
    a perfectly normal question, leads me to Erics
    advice-rethink yourself and identify what exactly
    makes you scared. Is it a phobia?someone pressure you to do something you dont want to?
    I find poetry is currently helping me with a similar
    if not more similar "things"-little by little or tiny
    words to big words-you will define the problem
    eventually-fear is an attribute, use it wisely.

    its a common feeling on this site i think, the people that i know that write post on a site like this where they dont really know the people so they dont get put down. i know thats why im here, im sick of being degraded because some popular kid doesnt like me and naturally neither does anyone else, then my friends turn... it happens constantly
