For a while now I've been getting the feeling that everybody around me hates me? I just feel like I'm always annoying and out of my friendship group, I'm nobody's favourite? Like I'm the one nobody really likes but they can tolerate me. I feel like when I hang out with my friends, they all can't wait for me to leave and immediately talk about me negatively when I'm not there.
Hi Jess, I'm wondering what is making you think this way about your friends, is there any evidence associated with these thoughts or are they just feelings with no real substance?
Let us know and we can see what advise to give you.

Hi, I don't think my friends consciously do anything to upset me. They do often ignore me and isolate me which makes me feel very disliked.
Hi Jess I think friendships are very difficult especially when there are a group of you.When l was younger l had a group of friends l was very sensitive to their moods etc and l always thought if any of them were in a bad mood l thought it was my fault or they had a problem with me.Now l can see l was overly sensitive due to the fact l had very low self esteem.Let's face it you do not know that they are talking about you behind your back that's just what you think it's not a fact.What you need to do is work on your self esteem and confidence then you will not be thinking negatively about your friendships.
Could partly be social anxiety.
Because I have that and it's awful. You're never okay with yourself in relation to others. But you can manage it and work your way through it - that much I do know.
