Constantly feel like an outsider

That's just it really, I constantly feel like I am an outsider and really struggle with friendships. I have a group if friends that I have known since secondary school but I kind of get the feeling that they don't really like me that much and wouldn't really care if I wasn't in their lives.

This has been a pattern since as long as I remember, I was a very shy and anxious child and would get myself really worked up if I had to go to parties (my mum mentioned this to me) - I am very socially awkward. It's the same with work, I struggle to hold down jobs and always seem to get bullied so I just end up leaving, its effected my whole life really and I don't know what to do about it.

Sorry for the rant but I was just wondering if there was anyone in the same position as me.

Yes LateNight I feel like this and your description of work and jobs describes me too...I have the added confusion of lacking in confidence and being anxious and apparently coming across as brimming with confidence...I think there are quite a few of us who feel like this...it makes life very difficult and sabotages my ability to settle in a job.
