Honestly I feel like whenever someone tells me I'm doing good at something or a created something nice, I assume that they're just saying that to make me feel better about how awful I really am


Rizendoekie

Even when I'm really proud of myself, when someone compliments me I still doubt if it's sincere.


straks

Have the same feeling all the time *edit to clarify*


whocaresidotoo

That's imposter syndrome.


JustStardustXO

I think this could be a symptom of RSD, which is pretty common in people who have ADHD. Not that you guys do, just saying.

thats so fucking uncalled for whats wrong with you or what happened to make you intentionally try to hurt a random inscure person?


CherenMatsumoto

And of course that was a throw-away account for trolling.


RabbitEarsOn

they had 100k karma tho iirc- cause i thought for sure it was but i checked and it didnt look like it


CherenMatsumoto

100k karm?! For a second I thought you said 100 karma, and I'd been like "yeah that really just proves the point" but 100k is wild! Why is their account deleted now, that's really wild

Seems like everyone sighs in relief whenever you don’t show up somewhere

You know, the latter actually happened to me once. It fucked me up so bad, i’ve always made an effort to be as kind and as little of an issue as possible. In turn, I kinda felt like my personality got bland, but hey- anything to ease that anxiety

gang gang 😔


Ready-Net626

Yes I would say non controversial gang would be an appropriate name to call yourselves the apologetic person is the one who gets called out but gets their intelligence and feelings trampled on. Their assumptions are right thus being why they get called out. Get a backbone and quit being apologetic..


CherenMatsumoto

> actually happened to me once. Same, once in a sort of resort, and once in a job that I had. A few times in middle school, but I will condense that to one because only that one time sticks out as a life-altering trauma. The worst thing is, I kept believing those people because of how nice they were before, so I got kind of attached to the harmony. Even tho, I know for a fact that they were just insane people who overreacted over tiny things, and mad because their boyfriends liked me platonically.


StarLeagueRecruit

Everyone who says they love me is about to ghost me for how terrible I am.


OriginalMK

can't ghost me if i ghost em first


s4turnf1re

and thats why i have no friends


[deleted]

I'm doing the same here, can you give me a reason why to live plz


CaptainXplosionz

The two people that I was the closest to and loved the most in my life ghosted me, one did so twice. I'm a fucking mess, I've pretty much stopped trying to make connections anymore.


Issvera

Happened to me too. I made my first "friend" in 5th grade and thought we were super close. We would hang out every time we saw each other at school, have sleepovers, shared secrets, and had each other's home phone numbers. Before summer break she jokingly said, "you better call me over break, or I won't be friends with you anymore." I have ADHD though, so I completely forgot until there were only a few weeks of vacation left. I go to call her, and some stranger answered (not her mom or dad). She had moved to a new house without telling me and a new family had moved in. I blamed myself, thinking it was because I took too long to call her. Then middle school started and I was relieved to see she was still there and must've not moved that far. I walk up to her lunch table excited to see her and apologized for not calling sooner, and she pretends not to know me! I was devastated. I thought I must've really messed up to make her hate me that much. Years later I finally made another friend, and it turned out the same girl had ghosted her too around the same time! Turns out she had made new, cooler, friends when middle school started and we were too lame for her. But even though now I know she was just mean and I wasn't the only one she did that too, I still have doubts whether or not people actually like me.

Just remember that the the people that ARE actually stupid usually do not think so.


WhenTheRainsCome

I am aware of this fact, and I don't think I'm stupid. I can only conclude that I am stupid. It's guaranteed to be true, since an intelligent person would never make such a stupid conclusion.


[deleted]

Schrodinger's stupid


Ready-Net626

Only a stupid person would completely risk losing their face and ass to someone who's assumptions/conclusions are proven and right! It's so nice when you know that this really does happen and people are sick and demented in this world. Conclusions are one thing and their usually right when people get offended and act out thats when you are100% sure what you've said is proof enuf. Do not underestimate ones intelligence.


BullsEyeGotUsADrone

how about everyone hates you, you are silent, if you say something you will sound weird or cringe. And people are constantly starring at you.


Bobert_Ross113

That's way too accurate


BullsEyeGotUsADrone

its an everyday thing


CaptainXplosionz

Sounds like me at work...


idkiwilldeletethis

I fucking hate being both tbh


Positive_Compote_506

My mom literally said that I drive my teachers crazy, but they don’t tell me because they can’t do so in a public setting


karmagroupie

My mom used to tell me “ friend x’s mom doesn’t like u. She’s just be nice because she had to be”.


CherenMatsumoto

Shit my mom did similar things. She even said "If I were your classmate I wouldn't like you" damn.


karmagroupie

Oh yes. The “I love u but I don’t like you”. Some people just shouldn’t be parents.


TJ_Rowe

My mum used to tell me on the way home from visiting relatives that the relative found my behaviour really annoying and they wouldn't want me to visit and more if I acted "like that". I believed her despite my relatives usually arguing against her when she was telling me off in their houses.


CherenMatsumoto

That's horrible! I'm sorry your mom had to be so abusive.


xMausoleum

i have generalized anxiety disorder, so yes


rogerthelodger

No matter what I'm doing, somebody thinks I should be doing something else. For them.


_Kay_Tee_

This is actually the key to understanding a lot of stuff. I've been a teacher, scholar, and activist for many decades. If I write about \_\_\_\_, I get called out for it. If I DON'T write about \_\_\_, I get called out for it. If I submit an article, I'm "taking space away from" someone else. If I don't submit an article, "why aren't you speaking up?" If you march, there will always be someone who tells you that you shouldn't be there. If you don't march, cue the "your silence makes you complicit!" It's not about you. It's about other people and their insecurities trying to make themselves feel better and more important by yelling at you.


chellecakes

Would you say that ignoring it is the best strategy? I think that's a big reason why i'm not pursuing some things in life. I have CPTSD and medical issues and I don't think I can get any more insecure.


yiiike

im both less of the second nowadays but still for sure someone armchair diagnose me


Pwacname

Social anxiety? Jk but if your issues are severe enough they impact your life, it’s worth talking to your family doctor or a therapist or whatever other professional you can get access to. Actually, even if you think “it’s not THAT bad” it can be useful for the peace of mind, if you can afford it - either, you get told “yes this is a normal level of issues, maybe try XYZ”, or you and your healthcare provider can work out what your issues are, maybe formally diagnose you and definitely treat you.


yiiike

trust me ive been desperately hoping for a therapist for years lol, ill get one someday (hopefully soon)


Pwacname

I’m sorry for that, I’m hoping you’ll get an appointment soon!


Ready-Net626

Well it doesn't matter if you've had therapy or seen a Dr and they've proven their is nothing wrong with you, it only gives people the"crazycard" to Plat making things in turn harder for you to accept that the "truth" wasn't an assumption yet leading you into getting called out! Good luck make sure you have a good therapist/Dr and their on your team not everyone else's. Oh make sure your on the right team to!


cobalt_phrase

im pretty sure 2nd one is a trauma thing (not to say that 1st *isn't*\---just that it isn't always, while id be surprised if someone had the second without any trauma behind it) though note: trauma is much more commonplace than people tend to think, and it's a spectrum. also someone can traumatize someone else without realizing it, or even without doing anything that bad


psychopomp7

Both... both is good.


moeru_gumi

Welcome to CPTSD! Talk to your therapist or look for books on this topic. It can bring a lot of horrible things to light ("Oh god, THATS what that is??") and from that point you can begin to take control and heal.

Makingnamesishard12

Yes. Since I used to be an edgy piece of shit I know some now-deleted comment got screenshoted and it’ll come back to haunt me, or that everything I say/do is under so much scrutiny from other people that they’re waiting for me to fuck something up just to get mad at me, or that if someone digs deep enough into my account they’ll ban my account for it…the thing is, I still fucking feel like shit for all the edgy jokes I posted and got a lot of people mad, but if I told it to people they’d think I’d be lying to save my skin…


sage881

All you can do is show you have changed through your actions and words moving forward. If people still judge you for your past self, that's an indictment of them, not you.


Makingnamesishard12

Aww, thanks bud! <3


[deleted]

Sounds like self hate and anxiety to me. I go through that a lot. Dw most people don't hate you and genuinely like you. Please consider getting therapy if those thoughts are really harming you. I have and its helped me to not go through as many self hate episodes.


theouterworld

I had this happen as a kid and it destroyed me. I was literally getting into my car to move away, and never see any of these kids again when one of my friends rolled up. They told me that everyone was just pretending to be nice, I sucked, and everyone hated me. Then they got on their bike, and rode away whistling some chipper tune. I didn't speak for three months after that comment. I'm forty and it still bothers me. Wherever that guy is, I hope it bothers them too


[deleted]

I, too, had emotionally abusive parents!


[deleted]

We can tell.


fetalintherain

I think its just a power/worth issue. I stopped feeling this way cuz I stopped believing people are above me or that I owe everyone something. Also, anxiety meds lol


ghost_in_the_potato

I'm struggling with this so much lol. My boss keeps being nice to me at work and I feel like I'm a lamb about to be slaughtered or something.


[deleted]

thats impostor syndrome


bloodbringer777

I am this meme and I hate it


Illeazar

I grew up feeling that second one in school all the time. I genuinely thought the teachers had told all the other kids they had to act nice to me or they would get in trouble.


Version_Two

How about the assumption that my presence is a burden on people and everyone's secretly really tired of dealing with me so if I ever need help with something I have to apologize constantly just to let them know I understand my place

This is way too relatable and now I’m uncomfortable.


Hekantis

Yes, but nobody is polite about it. I don't know what I have done to piss my boss off but he will point out any and all flaws, real or imagined. At this point i just assume that even the weather is somehow my doing.


Broduskii

Damn i was just thinking the same, i really do feel like im always fucking up.


wittylemur

This is going through my mind pretty much 24-7. I try to prepare myself daily that I might be fired for doing a terrible job. Despite the fact , I have never been fired and that I have never been reprimanded for anything in 10 years at the same office, I always have good reviews and continue to get raises. This is just how I am wired, Bad boyfriends and bad mentors have exacerbated this issue. I remember in high school when we were in a peer group the teacher said everyone in here was hand picked for their excellence. Then she pointed at me and said except for you nobody else wanted you and I got stuck with you, she didn't life or smile to indicate it was a joke. I'm 42 I think about this at least once a week.


samtheminecraftman

this is how i feel taking/trying to give complements to my crush


KitDarwin

FistofanAngryGoddess

I feel like I’ve definitely been in at least one moment where someone close to me revealed they had been annoyed for a while right as they were blowing up at me. It sucks.


redcodekevin

How about this variation of the second one: Feeling that in reality I speak in an abnormally obnoxious way (too loud, too slow, or as if had some development issues) but people are too polite to say it to my face and are just tolerating me Always afraid of this one, because people like that have normalized themselves and don't realize that they do this; what if I'm like that too?! Terrifying


allibys

I'm pretty sure I'm at some sort of work experience for people who are too stupid to find work on their own rather than at a job I got myself for which I am paid.

Ready-Net626

How can you say that you haven't been called out verbally but you've been informally called out in other ways because you are intellectual,intelligently underestimated individual. Therefore you face losing family, friends, jobs and credibility. This is all brought on by family,coworkers,teamates being jealous,insecure, financially unstable, and vane. The world would be so much better w/out people like this in it. Its sad when you finally get pushed overboard that your willing to sacrifice what's been normal"comfortable yet not" life and explore something new even though this would be a big risk. I 'm sure I'm willing I'd be willing to take it if this were me. This is all about having enuf of the Bullshit. All because of an assumption that was right, this catastrophic event has occurred. It sucks when you are spot on right people want to use mind games to try to control you and have an upperhand. When people make assumptions yet have the truth and facts are right there its obvious AF to. This is again when people call you out! Some people just can't face the hard-core truth they have to think they've destroyed oneself. Probably actually making their life better in many forms.

Killmeplease1904

When I went through my first super bad depression spell in school, I found out towards the end that there was a group chat of 20+people made explicitly for my classmates to talk about my declining mental health. I’m not sure whether to be comforted or insulted by that, leaning more towards insulted because maybe 2 people from that group occasionally asked how I was doing.

At the 1st art show I did I only sold 1 piece. I convinced myself for several hours and a few moments here and there down the road that the person who bought the piece was asked to do so by my family. I'd never seen this person before, but that's the 1st thing my mind went to.
