Posted: 01/20/08 - 19:08 Post subject: Am i schizophrenic?
I've only recently took into mind that i feel people are talking about me behind my back and i'm really depressed about it. I have been this way for a while but i have never thought it was such a problem but it is ruining my life. I find it really difficult to concentrate in school and i find everything is boring about it and i'm beginning to drift away from my close friends that i've known for years. I really feel i need to get help because i hate feeling this way but i don't want to talk to my family about it because i have no idea what to say and i strongly feel they won't believe me.
Maybe you have a problem with self esteem.
When I was younger I always thought people didn't like me and were saying bad things about me behind my back. I was somewhat over weight (not a bunch...maybe 20 lbs) and my mother always told me other kids wouldn't like me if I was fat.
Then when I became an adult I realized I had low self esteem because of what my mother said. I became more independant, more confident and realized it didn't really matter to me what other people said. I didn't really need friends that talked bad about me and so what if they did? I wasn't pleased with them all of the time either and I would say bad things about them.
I came up with something that really helped me cope. Maybe it will help you too.
Everyone talks about everyone (good and bad things)
Even I do at times.
I would feel pretty left out if they did not talk about me too.
It's a natural thing for people to talk about other people.
If your self esteem issue continues you may want to talk to a school counselor or someone to help you gain your self esteem.
I guarantee it will help you tremendously.
Good luck.
