I think i might be getting worse rather than better...i keep feeling for some reason like whenever i go somewhere people are laughing and making fun of me. I wouldnt even be speaking to them and they still seem to single me out to point to their friends and laugh. Ive never really felt this way, but im starting to more than ever now. makes me want to just stay home and be a hermit. I wouldnt say im a model or anything, but i dont think i look like a clown either so why am i being laughed at?

Forget who's around you and just do your own thing. It does you good to get out, so head for the beach with some tunes and have a good time.

most people are too involved in their own lives to be pointing and laughing at you!

Keep reminding yourself that you are a great person, you are not someone to be laughed at or made fun of. This sounds to me like it could be a self esteem issue.
Maybe do something nice for yourself. Buy a new outfit, do your hair, maybe a new nail polish...what ever you could do to make yourself feel pretty and good. Pamper yourself!!!
You deserve to feel good. Don't let anyone bring you down.
Chin up girl...you are an exceptional person and you need to let the world know!
If you can bare it, try going for a walk, purposefully to catch yourself feeling that way - and check and see - are they just laughing, or are they looking directly at you and pointing? If you do that a few times, you will see you are being oversensitive (most of the time!!) - Oversensitivity and taking things personally is part of --- depression.
The MP3 idea is a good one, and what i sometimes do is if i`m waiting somewhere in a queue or something, if i see a safe friendly looking face i try to initiate conversation and they usually respond nice and i feel more confident, but of course theres always those days when particularly at the school gates that i just want to hide around the corner so i can`t see them! I had to really force myself to stand at the gates, once i did it it wasn`t as awful as i thought it`ll be.
I`d agree with the self confidence bit, but remember you are special, and have something that a lot of those people who do laugh at people don`t have, a sweet nature and compassion for others. Never forget that you are special xx
