even though you know that isn’t a realistic thought but then you try to reach out and get completely ignored, even by a counselor, and so now you know it has to be true, and you want to curl up into oblivion?
Everyone goes through periods of feeling like this, and, frankly, we often do not match our reactions to the facts, because we filter them through our senses & how we view the world: we take things more personally or less personally than they are meant; we see hints/meanings where there are none, and miss hints/meanings when they *were* there; etc., etc., etc.
Terrible experience. I feel like I'm a ghost. I'm reaching out to people in my head and my heart but no one knows, no one can see it, and no one is reaching back for me.
No. I usually think the opposite and if I know they don't like me it is because I am honest and so they are not worthy of me giving them another thought.

I've stopped reaching out, never used a counsellor though.

I can feel very insecure and shy and Rhen I think that people don’t like me.
