Feeling like people don't like you?

...See more Sometimes I just assume that a certain person doesn't like me. It could be subtle things. It could be they're having a bad day. But I just assume they don't like me somehow. And I try to look for all the signs that they're treating me differently to everyone else. I thought that way about one person and then the next day she literally smiled when she saw me and said hi. So I got confused.  Like I can't just make it about them having a bad day or their own issues in life..  I just feel like they don't like me and that they've changed on me now. That maybe it's something I had done or something in me. I also used to find it hard to accept that someone likes me, just like thar. I felt like something was wrong. I would try to look for explanations.. now I've accepted it. How do I change this? To assume based on whatever people do that they don't like me? Writing it out now it sounds absurd but I do this without thinking.

How to stop staying up late?

...See more AI told me it must be because sleep time is the only time I get full peace and don't feel stressed or anxious about my family members, so my brain relishes it as much as possible being a 'rare commodity'. Which makes sense. Tbh every human interaction gives me anxiety; I might have social anxiety.  Now how to fix it? I can't be running late everyday! (But it's okay. It's not the end of the world and I don't have to be perfect.)

My class is holding a celebration tomorrow and I almost feel like I don't want to go
Trauma Support / by discreetPlace4219

...See more I've been excited about it and looking forward to it for a while. But for some reason now I feel worried about it and I'm getting thoughts of not going. I've suffered from prolonged social exclusion as a child. School trips were a nightmare for me and reinforced to me the fact that I had no friends. Whilst other people left it with joy I would leave it crying.  Now I'm worried with this class that I would somehow get excluded again. Even though they are great. These two days I decided not to think about my childhood trauma anymore after doing a lot of unpacking and processing two days ago. Because I was feeling very anxious and overly hypervigilant, constantly dissociating for the whole day yesterday. So now I want my mind to rest. It just doesn't help that everyday situations are a trigger for me. I'll be okay.
