Anxiety

[Em17y]

How do you guys cope when you think everyone hates you? I just feel like a burden to everyone around me right now and I’m convinced my current roommate and future housemates hate me and I just hate feeling like this. I even feel like my sister doesn’t like me anymore which really sucks cause I have personal things I need to vent about and get outta my brain but if I ever go to her with a problem she’s always tells me she can’t help or that what I’m saying is stupid. Help

Em17y, I like to isolate myself for a couple hours with music. Usually what I listen to matches how I feel atm, then gets happier. Songs about strength, self-reliance, and "f*** you all" sort stuff. And about your sister I'm sorry to hear. Similar-ish thing with my family and most friends where I feel like I can't trust them because revealing sensitive info about myself will backfire and they will use it against me at a later date or hate me afterward etc.

What I suggest is if talking to a real person scares you too much I like to open a notes page in my phone and just rant into that. Or whisper scream to your mirror, you know? Idk, it seems to help me to talk to my reflection/imaginary best friend. 😁

Yea I think you’re right I just have to learn how to support myself on my own better. Thanks for the ideas

Your not alone. I have people who hate me and spread rumours or worst posts something on fb.

If you don't have a pet, getting one helps. I have cats to hold and talk too

I'm so sorry to hear about that. I've been lucky enough to've never actually have been subject to any hate from people other than myself. At least in the end when we all get through our problems we can prove ourselves stronger and even worthier of love than anyone may have originally believed. And yes, cats will always love you too. 😊

I’m in first year university staying in residence so I can’t get a pet but I agree pets really help as a type of support system

Hello Em17y, am sorry to hear what you have been dealing with. I can understand that it can be difficult sometimes. If I may ask why do you think your roommate and people around you don’t like you? You can discuss with them how you feel and probably they will open up to you about why they treat you that way. People’s attitude towards us is their choice and not because of who we are. People around us have an option to be nice or mean to us. Love will always win. Continue to love them and show kindness and they will also reflect the seed of love you sow in the relationship. Sending love and hug your way.
