Is it normal to feel like people are always judging you negatively?

I'm 18 and fresh out of high school. I often worry about what other people think of me. I mean like all day everyday. Even my own parents. I only really feel comfortable around close friends. I always feel like people are judging me for looking how I do. I'm overweight. I think that I have a pretty face and I've been told that also but I think my weight is making me extremely unconfident in myself. I'm always second guessing the things I say and my actions in fear of how I'm coming across to others. Like if someone I feel is cute walks by me, I try not to look in their direction because I feel they will feel like they are out of my league and judge me in their mind. When I get home at the end of the day, I regret alot of the things I've done throughout the day and I obsess over what everyone who I interacted with will think about me because of what I've done. I just want to know if there's anyone out there who feels how I feel and goes through the same things. If you feel that something wrong, please tell what you think it is. Its gotten worse over the years and becoming reclusive because of it. please help. thanks for reading.

    i felt this way a couple of years back. your only finking people are judging u negativley because u judge yourself that way . your not out of anyones leuge because people have different tastes in people do they not? once you become happy with yourself you will notice changes starting with u then with the people around you. confidence is something that is more attractive than looks and dress size dalin and once you know that your as good as any other girl you would shine and fings would change :)
    peace xx

  • Okay, when I said I'm not that hung up on Len...... I'm listening to one of his songs now, I have a ton of pics of him, his photo is my desktop wallpaper, I keep a piece of paper with his name on it in a heart locket, I've read a bunch of Len x Reader fanfics.... yeah okay I'm obsessed, but hey! You're not alone! I recommend reading x reader fanfics which were mentioned earlier. They really help you feel like you are in the same world as your character and that you two are really a couple (trust me, I've been reading them for almost a year now) They can be found all over deviant art and Wattpad, as well as other reading websites. They also help you feel as though the author of the fan fiction is on your side and actually ships you with that character (some do) and that really helps. Have an amazing day, hope my comment was helpful! xx

  • High school can do that to people. Some people get over it young, some older. Everyone has an image of others perception of themselves, but people change over time. As you get older many people mature and become less judgemental, although few people cease to be jugemental altogether. You'll be fine.

  • Sweetie, age sometimes brings confidence. Try to be patient.
    Also, you may hate the way you are now but those very traits are the ones that can possibly help you grow into an amazing individual.
