Well I have a lot of the problems you have, that really affect my social life. Every social encounter I go into, I automatically assume the worst, that this person is not going to like me, or these people arent going to like me. So then I either: a) avoid these people altogether, so they dont like me, or b) try too hard to get them to like me, which generally leads to people not liking me.

I dont know how to 'be myself' around people because I have no faith in who I am, and it is a very small group of close friends who know the 'real' me.

So here, as a result, I have no close friends. Nobody I feel comfortable as me. SO now I'm pretty socially isolated, and have lost the motivation to just DO stuff.

My relationship with my parents is falling down, I talk to my mom on the phone and just wait for the conversation to end. I stopped working out and eating well. Im scared to death of gaining back my weight. Im losing my true self.
