Hi, For once in my life I am going to be completely honest. I have never admitted the way I think to ANYONE in the past; I’ve kept it all in my head. I am a happy-go-lucky type of guy, well I like to show this off. Always joking; never got a worry in the world and always there to give others a positive boast, but the problem is – Life is so hard and it has been since I was 15-16. I am now 24, 25 in August and ever since I was 16 and I have had something to worry about, these worries over take me, it’s all I ever think about, I believe I over hype them in my head to make them something their not, but to me right now, they are huge and real worries. I am utterly mad at myself for thinking this way! My mum has depression, pretty bad and I recognise the way she thinks in the way I think. Only difference is, she’s not afraid to just break down and admit everything, whereas I keep it closed it, I’d never admit it to anyone, I have too much pride.
I feel so low about myself. I don’t think anyone likes me, I always feel left out of the group, not included. This is my ‘latest’ worry of many which has probably been happening since Early March. I started University in September and everything was fantastic, I never had friends before University but suddenly I had loads and a fantastic girlfriend! That term was the best term in my entire life! I loved it, then I came back after Christmas and everything changed. My soul mate cheated on me with a guy we was both meant to be living with next year. It really hurt me, but I got over it, and well I am back with this girl now, and it was a mistake, I know that, and we have got an amazing relationship, but the problem is I just feel that the other’s in our friendship group, and importantly, those we are living with next year in a student house (we all agreed and signed this house and contract before Christmas) have got it in for us – they don’t like us. I don’t know why, we have done nothing. My girlfriend can be a bit ‘bossy’ sometimes but she’s always nice and always fare. I for one have done nothing. But I just feel hated and not included. I am dreading next year! I think it’s going to be a year from hell, and it’s ruining my summer and I just cant seem to enjoy myself, knowing I’m going to be in a house with 4 other people who don’t like me. I don’t want to be that ‘one’ who they always talk about etc. I feel trapped. I monitor facebook, looking for every ‘like’ or ‘comment’ and analysing it – I notice they don’t like or comment on my stuff, but like each others, if they do like each others, I get really mad and jealous.
But you see, that’s my recent worry that’s over took my life, but ever since I was 16 I have worried about something, and something has over took my life and ruined it for that time being, and when that one is sorted – another one will come up!
My earliest ‘worry that over-took my life’ was when I was 16. I am Bi-sexual and when I was 16 I used a few gay chat rooms, just experimenting really. At the same time, I found out I had a virus on my computer, something many other’s do. Anyway, this gave my mind a meltdown! For about a year I was worried sick that my friend had gave me a virus on purpose in conjunction with another friend and knew about me being Bi and sent that Keylogger or had seen I was on that chatroom by my profile. I questioned, questioned and questioned him! Convinced I knew what was going on. 5-6 years later I can see how ridiculous I was but at the time I was certain, and all through my life since then there’s been moments like that.
My mind is absolutely worried sick about my most ‘recent’ worry and I am fed up with worrying full stop! I just want to enjoy life! I’m sorry if I sound a right weirdo, or if I did not make much sense, This is just the first time I am being completely honest with someone.

I have often had similar experiences of a worry (usually blown out of all proportion) taking over my mind  "£"

Hi,

Welcome. You caught my attention because I always hid under the happy-go-lucky, mature girl with inner strenght growing up. Because of this I bottled up all my troubles, fear, history, feelings and secrets up. Untill one day I went literally mad and screamed it out at therapist, my ex boyfriend and I just wrote it all to a man I only knew vaguely. He was extremely kind and offered me that I could talk to him when I didn't feel as dealing with my worries. He restored my faith in humanity and since I was also devastately heart-broken, also that men are kind and genuine.

So I wanted to salute you for joining this forum and finding people who can support you on your journey to a better life and self-image.

About this feeling as if no one likes you. Firstly, if one of them actually doens't like you without you having done anything to him/her, I am pretty sure that a reflection of his/hers self and insecurities.
For me something which has really helped in gaining my self-esteem is to help others and show them that I care. I feel how much they value it, I feel as if I am worth something plus I help others. And do talk about some of your insecurities. Sometimes when people give up an impression being extremely happy, secure and confident people forget that they also are humans and have feelings and imperfections.

Best of luck!

Ezel
