The best thing to do is to get it into your head that nobody is talking about you. Also, even you are being negatively judged, it doesn't matter. You shouldn't care about what others think.

You need to get some professional help. If this progresses untreated you could find yourself in a lot of trouble down the line. There can be physiological reasons for these symptoms as well as mental. You need to get yourself a good physical done to know where you stand. I hate to think of you suffering this way. Some of the things you can do on your own are pretty simple. You need to change some of your eating habits. Cut processed sugars out of your diet. Sugar is actually a drug. It sucks all of the vitamin C out of your body. Ancient mariners never heard of scurvy until they were introduced to processed sugar. I’ll explain how sugar is a (legal) drug. Imagine, if you will, how they go about getting the drug cocaine. What they do is they take the leaves of the coke tree and boil them down to a fine white powdery substance. How do the get sugar? They boil the cane juice down to a fine white powdery substance. What’s the difference? The whole country is addicted to it. As an experiment sometime when you are with one of your parents shopping see how many things you can find in the store that doesn’t have sugar in it. You will be surprised. I think sugar has an adverse reaction on people. I also think there are people out there, you being among them, who are chemically sensitive. This means that all of the chemicals, sugars and additives need to be limited in your diet. Quite eating sugary foods and replace them with fresh fruits. Start eating more fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Give up eating white bread and replace it with whole wheat bread. Add raw nuts and seeds to your diet. There is a lot of nutrition in these little powerhouses. Limit the amount of beef, cheese and milk that you eat. If you do these things your symptoms will lessen maybe even stop. I will include some websites for you to check out.

Okay, first off I think you need to RELAX, because some times when people whisper they won't always be talking about you and if they are so what move on and be happy with yourself. I'm sure you wouldn't call them your friends if they always are mad at you. I think you just need to relax and chill out okay enjoy life as much as you can!

Love,
Kiss.Me.Till.I.Melt

You probably do not have social anxiety disorder. Do you have panic attacks? Are you so frightend that you cannot leave your house? These are symptoms of SAD. However, you do sound like you lack self-confidence and may be on the paranoid side. You also sound like you are more self aware than others your age. Why are you thinking that your friends are always mad at you? Do they show signs of being angry (meaning they are not talking to you, they do not invite you out with them, or you hear that they are mad at you)What have you been doing that they would get angry? If the answer is nothing, then you are probably just being paranoid. If you cannot find a way to to stop and it starts to take over your life, then you should talk to your parents or guidence counselor and possibly seek a psychiatic professional. However I think you will just be fine if you ask your friends if there is anything that you have been doing to get on their nerves lately. You can talk it out and make amends if it happens to be true.

Maybe you're just paranoid. I don't mean this in a bad way, but there really is a disorder that's paranoia...

Like the first person said, you can check with school counselors or psychologists and be properly diagnosed, because all the guessing we're doing now is just that: guessing.

Also, if you try to take online tests and such, they can't be completely accurate since they're standardized and it's really different when a person is talking to you..

I wish you luck and hope that you're gonna "fix" whatever you think is wrong...

ok before assuming somethings wrong with you just take my adivce...first you need to get some self-confidence, i think when i was a little younger i used to be kinda self-concious but then i just started being myself and i dont give a damn wut anyone thinks about me. If your really that self-soncious talk to your friends about it. And if they're really your true friends then they wouldn't be whispering about you. Just be yourself and have fun with life...you only have one life but if you live it right once is enough.

hope this helps <33

It doesn't matter what the label is. Consider it a matter of conflicting internal voices. There's the negative voice berating you, making you feel like everybody's thinking bad things about you. Then there's the small positive voice here that knows, "This CAN'T be right!"

One technique for defeating this 'inner critic' can include personifying this voice, then yelling back with a positive voice. Or a proverbial brick.

Be patient, you have time.

Hi There,

Depression and anxiety can be very debilitating and isolating but please be reassured that you are not alone. This can be extremely overwhelming and affects people in a variety of ways. If it keeps on reoccurring you might want to consider getting a professional diagnosis. Your GP should be able to refer you on to an appropriate counselling service.

Opening up to family and friends about your feelings can help too. It's understandable that some people keep things from those they are close to for fear of upsetting them, but once people know the situation they are able to offer help and support. Counselling can offer you confidential, emotional support and information and give you the time and space to talk about how you are feeling, without judging you or telling you what to do.

Goodluck
