My life is messed up

School: People will talk, it is human nature. You know who you are, why let what they’re saying influence you? It’s not true, so why do you care?

Outside school: I hate to say this, but most people couldnt care less about anyone but themselves… So even if they do happen to glance at you (unless you’re drop dead gorgeous or really really ugly) they probably aren’t thinking much… Even if they do have a fleeting thought, they wont rememeber your face 2 mins later… so who cares if for 3 seconds someone had a thought about you?

You have a normal life (there is an objective reality out there) your brain is just on overdrive (you’re overthinking everything, and not seeing it the way it is). Try telling your brain to shut up once in a while. I’m a rational person, I like to rationalize things… What are the odds of all these people you’ve never even met thinking bad things about you? They dont know you, they dont care about you, why should they put in all that energy to think badly of you? If rationalizing doesnt work, you may want to try yoga or some other type of breathing techniques that help you focus and calm down… the idea is to stop making everything bigger than it really is…

Love: hmm well if the girl doesnt know you, then no she doesnt love you. She may like you, she may be interested in you, or maybe she wants to get to know you further and then see if she likes you. Stop overanalyzing! Yes you can take that as a sign of interest. But nothing more than that for sure. Why dont you get to know her, see where it goes…
