I worry too much

About people liking me. I've done that for my entire life. It's exhausting. I've tried not to care, but my mind drifts back to, will they like me if I do or say that? Its almost an addiction that I can't stop.

I can feel that.
I too get it sometimes. Through work I'm over it but sometimes I go back. What works sometimes is
-confront my mind telling it, you know what people like me and you are simply ignorant
-going the opposite direction and celebrating, saying to myself something like yay no one likes me how much fun
-invoking the voice of a grandparent saying something sweet
-going for the big picture and imagining the people who have indeed love me through the course of my life...
I hope it may be of help...
