I have this fear that people I don't know dislike me...?!


Question: I have this fear that people I don't know dislike me...?
This usually happens when I'm alone (or I should say, not with a friend), but I find that whenever I walk into a place, like the mall, a coffee shop, etc., I feel like the people there who are about my age dislike me. Not personally or anything, i's just when they look at me, I feel like they must be thinking of how ugly I am, or how lame I am for being there with just a parent and not a friend, ect. I feel like every other teenager is always with their friends, nice looking, and having a good time, and I think that I must look like such a miserable loner. Sometimes I have to get out of that situation because it makes me so uncomfortable. For example, last week I went to the library, and walked up to the normally empty teen section. But that day, there was a small group of people about my age, all talking and hanging out. A few turned their heads, and I just felt so uncomfortable I had to leave. Is this normal?

if they do then why should you care? dont let what they think about you bother you. all human being are equal (except terrorists) and you should be proud of who you ae. people who make fun or think bad of others are usually really insecure and they do that so they dont have to face the realization of how bad their life is

Yours is extreme but I'd say it's not that weird or anything cause lotsa peeps are that way



OMG i feel the same!! you probably just have low self esteem (like myself) i know its hard when everyone around you is having fun and living their life and you feel left out and isolated from that..you need to be more confident in yourself i know how you feel..im embarrassed for people to look at my face sometimes i even wear a vail over my head so i can feel comfortable around people and to stop feeling so ugly. BELIEVE ME you don't wanna get to that stage so try an build up you confidence and step out of your comfort zone it will really help .. i did do this but you need to keep at it or you will end up right back were you were before.



Hi. You're perfectly normal. Who cares what they think?? And who is to judge that they are better looking than you? Maybe it's not that they dislike you maybe they envy the fact that you have a close relationship with your parents and hang out with them?? I had quite a few friends in high school. Yet I wasn't allowed to go out with friends so my parents would take me to the mall. Never felt asahmed of it. My mom and I would walk around talking and laughing. Would stop to eat. And she would buy me stuff and of course people from school saw. You know what everyone would always say " your parents seem so cool. I wish mine were like that ". Trust me if you hold your head up high and show that nothing bothers you. You won't even notice who is looking at you and who isn't. Good luck :)))

I'm a teen too. and i've had the same problem. it started after my friends started bulling me and my drama teacher called me a screw up. I got away from my "friends" and dropped out of drama. But I stated not wanting to go out for the same reason u said. It went on for a long time about 1/2 a year...
Then one day i went out and got some new clothes because the back to school open house was next week!
I got a bran new pair of black skinny jeans, a teal & black stunned pyramid belt(It love those kinds of belts) new black & white Flip Flops (it was summer) I normally by Band TShirts but this time i bought a purple Cami and then a purple, yellow, and blue plaid button up shirt that has sleeves that come to my elbow.
My Bro and his girlfriend wanted to got to build a bear and they asked me to go with them. I love my bro's girlfriend shes so nice but i hate being around her because shes really pretty. So i decided to wear my nice new clothes and went with them.... For some reason i started getting better. I guess having some thing new made it better. and made it so i could hold my head high! And It was easier to go out because ! I was with my bro & i love him to death but i barely ever see him. 2. I just put inside of my head even if it was true or not if people were staring they were ether staring at my bro's pretty girlfriend or just jealous that we were having a good time..

So Get a new outfit u REALLY LOVE (only do this once) and then go hang out with some one you REALLY LOVE. yes and its true EVERY teen hates being seen with there mom... so that's normal!!! I Hope I helped!

If you need any thing eles I'd be happy to help!

Me :)
