    Hey
    So this might make me seem selfish or something,but hey its called personal issues for a reason right..
    Anyway Im a guy I am 19 years old, just finished the leaving cert there.I have some friends and they are really nice guys...I often get invited places...I am going out on wednesday and that is the third time I am going out in the past week but...my problem is...I cant seem to get passed the idea that no one likes me...to be honest I have no basis for feeling this way but I do...I often feel when I ring people that they are with others and laughing about me behind my back...they are really supportive...they answer my calls and texts so I dont think that they hate me but I cant get passed the idea that I am not liked...I feel that if I keep on going down this road of paranoia I am going to drive people away.
    Has anyone ever felt this way...does anyone have any advice please??
    Thanks

    You aren't alone. There are many people who feel this way, its a slight paranoia, just dont let it take over your life. You need to relax and just ignore this ideas that people hate you.

    If you havent done anything wrong - why on earth would they dislike you?

    Cheer up, you've a long lie ahead of you.

    What you could try is having a chat with one of the ones you feel closer to - and just asking simply
    "Hey am I paranoid or am I annoying a few of our mates?"

    And just take it from there.
    You are probably wrong about all this - but just on the off chance - maybe you said something or you have a mannerism - or just maybe they are not really good friends.

    However - if they are replying to your texts and you are meeting up then there is a good chance it is all in your head - just down to your own insecurities and feelings of self-worth (or lack of).

    Just do not - defo do not keep asking this - just put in a throw away comment and move on. Otherwise what you fear the most might just come to pass and you will be known as the guy that is just too self-absorbed....

    Best of luck :)
