I have recently realized just how paranoid I am about things, especially social situations. I always think that people are talking badly about me behind my back when in fact, I am the one that they like most as a friend. I also am afraid of people saying bad things about me to people I am friends with/want to be friends with. I am afraid that when people don't answer my texts or phone calls- they hate me. Or when I can't decipher the way someone is acting toward me, the only explanation is that I have done something wrong and they hate me. I am deathly afraid that a friend that I am (not mutually) uneasy with is jealous that this guy likes me (I like him back) and is telling him not to contact me. Especially because she is going out with that guy's friend and threatens me into doing things so she will get me the guy's number if I do what she wants. I don't need her help. Also, unlike what most friends would do, she doesn't call me when the guy is around to tell me she is with him.
Quick background: I am pretty sure that I do have a mental disorder, but it is currently undiagnosed. Two-ish years ago I was diagnosed with disthymia (adolescent depression) when I was taking an ADD test for a 504 plan. I don't have ADD, by the way. When I was younger, I had selective mutism... from pre-k until around 4th grade. I don't know how much of my symptoms are my personality and how much of it is actually a symptom. I used to believe I had some form of bipolar disorder, but now that I read something about Borderline Personality, I'm beginning to consider that.
Discuss:
-Paranoia
-Paranoia as a symptom
-etc.

-ponders- I suppose it would be a bit normal to feel that you aren't liked at times. To be honest, it sounds more like co-dependency than anything, but then again, I need to touch up on my psychology, as I seem to specialize in sociology more.
Just thought I'd throw my two cents worth. Good luck with your search.
