Learning to love yourself and be happy with who you are is the fastest way to cure this way of thinking. If you can't love yourself first, your mind will start to think that others may not as well. Keep your head up, you can do this. :-)

Recognizing that your fear is "irrational" is the first step. If you see them as your friends, most likely they see you as their friend as well. Hatred is a strong emotion and usually does not require questioning whether or not it exists.

Try to start with the fact that you think these thoughts are "irrational". Are they irrational? Or is there sufficient reason for you to be feeling this way? Then consider the concept of fear? Is the idea of your friends hating you, the thing you are afraid of? Or the thought of you not having friends? Being Alone?

Know that people who spend time with you do so because they want to. The people you compare yourself to compare themselves to other people too so dont worry that what you are doing is wrong, everyone gets self conscious that maybe they enjoy hanging out with their other friends more but some of your friends may think the same about you.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
