How can I convince myself that my friends don't hate me? I have this irrational fear that they actually hate me.

I experience the same thing. Just try to ignore it, tell them that you love them and they'll say they love you back. Ask them to hang out and when they accept, smile at you, and hug you, know that they love you. They're not obligated to be with you, they do it because they enjoy being around you.

Why not ask them what they like about you or think of you, and then take their answers at face vaule, do not read into it. If they hated you would thay hang out with you?

ask them for reassurance! good friends will gladly inform you that they dont, in fact, dislike you - if they did, then think rationally. why would they want to talk to you and be around with you if they didnt genuinely enjoy your company?

You can't convince yourself that they don't hat you if you're the first who hate youself. Sometimes when someone thinks that is beacause they don't love themselves enoght.

well if they are your friends that means they like you enough to hang around and talk to you so they cant hate you :)

Im sure at some point everyone feels as if they are hated when they are most definatly not. Best thing to do is talk to your friends, who knows, they may feel the same way.

Believe that everything you are doing is in good will and that everyday you are trying more on a daily basis. I have felt this way many times throughout the years and I have come to realize that the best way to deal with this kind of feeling is to try to keep a positive mentality and to just keep trying your hardest and best to exceed in many aspects in life.

Sometimes, we allow the fear of things to control our thoughts and our emotions. But, when we do that, that can be a very dangerous thing. I know for sure, that your friends wouldn't hate because you're too great for them to do so. Sometimes we tend to overthink things and end up drawing conclusions that aren't true. Sometimes we just have to calm down for a moment and actually observe around us, if our friends really hate us.

Well first of all talk to your friends about it and at the end of the day if they hate you or like you just remember you are worthy

I understand where you're coming from. I feel like this everyday. But you have to learn how to tell your mind "stop". Because they probably don't. I know it's tough but it'll go there with time! And you can also try to discuss this with your friends!
