I need advice, please help me

Hi all, I have a problem that I have been trying to deal for a number of years (precisely from 2004) but it always comes back to hunt me. My problem is that I feel really bad about myself and everytime I go to uni or outside I feel that people are staring and saying bad things about me, for example the way I look or the way I dress, etc and that has made things really hard for me because I can't stick around at uni because I would start thinking that people are staring and stuff.

For example, as I was going to the computer lab this morning there were 3 people in front of me and they would constantly start laughing and looking at me, which made me really unconfortable and also I went to the canteen to get something to eat and I would feel that people were staring at me and I got pretty intimidated and decided to go home.

I have been having this problem since 2004 when I had a bad experience with someone when I was at college and I've been trying hard to boost my self esteem but it's always coming back.

Well, I don't feel that I'm a good looking guy (there are times when I do but it ends up in dissapointment), even if there are people who have said otherwise but I don't see it (even though I try). I'm 20 yrs old, 5'7, 95kgs.

Can anyone please advice me on what can I do to get over this? because it's really killing me inside.

Thanks.

PS. I don't know whether I should post a pic of me to show what I look like.

Don't worry Chr0nic, those people whom you say are making fun of you are superficial people, they don't know who you are and are acting inmaturely. Maybe they dont feel confident enough with themselves and are just trying to focus their own insecurities on someone else :wink:

Dont let this incidents put you down, however if you say that this problem is giving you so much trouble since 2004, then maybe it would be a good idea to seek professional help.

I doubt there are people making fun of you. I get the same sort of paranoia. You just have to tell yourself that people are too wrapped up in their own lives to notice and make fun of some random guy.
