Paranoid?

LegacyUser

Im a real people pleaser. If someone doesnt like me i get annoyed. I also think that person 'knows' something about me as if i really am an asshole or something. When i was young i got bullyied a lot and during my teenage years i didnt have any friends at all. i felt like a social outcast. Also my parents were argumentative and couldnt talk to them

Recently i moved into a flat. Now i dont know if this paranoia or over senstivity but i felt as if the people in the surrounding were talking about me or something i felt totally closed in and couldnt stick it for long

What should i do ? how do i get of the paranoia?

Hey OP,There is nothing worse then that feeling of someone is talking about you,Makes you feel very uncomfortable and will knock your self esteem also.
I would say only way to get past it is perhaps see someone about it like your gp and he/she will help you find who you may need see.
Until then try to not think of them as talking about you as they more than likely are not.And if they are think of them as sad people who have no lives.
Bullying growing up effects alot of people everyday and does cause some damage later on in life with self esteem and trust issues.
With feeling like a social outcast always join some group or even a night course of something you enjoy doing.Football or anything like that at all and will help you meet people who have same interests in life as you.The only way to meet people is to make it happen yourself.
Hope i helped and best of luck
