Aibu...to think everyone dislikes me?

I never seem to click with people. I feel like everyone hates and dislikes me or at best is indifferent to me. Do I have chronic low self esteem or could I be right?

It’s unlikely that everyone hates or dislikes you unless you are abusive to everyone you see.
So it’s probably low self esteem.

It seems that its you who doesnt like yourself so yes low self esteem sounds about right. Have you ever had any professional help with this? It might really benefit you, it did for me.

Of course it's a self-esteem issue, & you shouldn't have to live under its cloud.

Make an appointment with your GP, & ask for help in accessing services that could counsel you. You need help to uncover whatever it is in your background that is causing you to feel like this, & how to start overcoming these negative feelings.

By the way - most people have periods of feeling unliked or out of synch with people. You are not alone, & once you are able to get talking to professionals, starting with you GP, you will find nothing but empathy & support.

Please reach out for that help, & wishing you luck as you embark on your healing journey. xx

I don't necessarily think it's purely a self-esteem issue (although it might be).
I have friends but I wonder how many of them really like me because I tend to speak my mind and say how I feel which doesn't go down well with a lot of people! Meh 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can't be the sort of person that holds their tongue easily but strangely, I tend to be quite the opposite on here! I'm weird

I don't like many people !!

Pinktinker · 19/07/2019 16:09

Hmm, yes you may be disliked if you ‘can’t hold your tongue’ often. Sometimes it is necessary to do that in adulthood to protect other people’s feelings.

thecatinthetwat · 19/07/2019 16:12

In all honesty, is there anything that people may not like about you?

Btw, feeling anxious or awkward is pretty unpleasant for the other person so if that applies you might want to work on it. I know I need to myself.

It's impossible to judge without having met you and not knowing whether it is just your perception that people dislike you or based in fact

Dontcarewhatimdoing · 19/07/2019 16:22

I'd imagine it is low self esteem, I'b be surprised if everyone hated you! How do you feel about yourself? Do you have any family or friends?

VioletLeaf · 19/07/2019 16:27

I have this. It's low self esteem/anxiety etc. The thoughts/feelings are not realistic but feel very real. My heart goes out to you.
