i feel like everyone hates me i am quiet around people i won't talk to anyone if i don't have to but if someone talks to me i will talk to them but sometimes i am talking to someone and i will go off somewhere else in my head i do try to listen and stay in the conversation but i can't help it then i have no idea what we were talking about and i try to remember without telling them because i don't want them to think im ignoring them the weird thing is i will still be talking to them while im not really there sometimes they don't even notice
i got told today that people don't hate me i'm just projecting my feelings towards myself onto everyone else i'm thinking that everyone feels the same way about me as i do but i really feel like nobody likes me and nobody can ever like me
people don't say to me that they don't like me but i think they talk about me behind my back i hate feeling like this if it is me how do i not project my feelings about myself onto others i doubt its that though i think people think im a mess ignorant stupid boring no fun to be around and just a fucking waste of space

well I'm a tiny part of everyone and I don't hate you.

People love a good listener and it sounds like you are one. May try asking questions to stay focused? I know what it feels like when someone is taking to you and your mind starts wandering and pretty soon you have no idea what the conversation is about and you have a blank look on your face and they see it too. I always tell them I am sorry... In on meds that make my mind a little fuzzy. And if they look at me weird... I guess I don't need them as a friend anyway. You seem like you care about people and you want to have friends. It's takes courage to put yourself out there. I say just try to keep plugging forward. And by the way... We all get talked about behind out backs. People love talkin about people. It's sad but true.

thanks effin :)

thanks amy yeah i do care about people (maybe a little to much) and i really do try to listen i'm glad its not just me that drifts off (sorry that sounds a bit selfish) part of me wants to have friends but i wont let anyone close enough to be friends because i think if they get to know me they wont like me

im quiet around ppl too id say it just you being you. there is nothing wrong with that. ppl either like you or they do not.that is thier loss.why do you say no one can like you? ill be your friend if you want to be mine. please dont be so hard on yourself. my guess is they don't understand you i know because it is the same way for me too.

i drift of all the time and im still talking. The meds. But just because you have a low opion of your self doesnt mean the people around you do. Im sure your not stupid or boreing. Or a waste of space. Im glad your here. Keep talking and meeting people. Im sure people dont hate you ((hugs))
