I do wonder (and that's all I can do on the little information here) if your feeling that you are unpopular sort of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy -- others pick up on it and treat you the way you seem to treat yourself. I just don't know, and that's where I think talking to someone who can help you figure it all out might be very useful.
I do know that you can't find meaningful acceptence from others -- whether it's a sorority, team, or any other group -- if you're not accepting and feeling okay about yourself.
Good luck, and let us know how it's going! |
I like that! Sometimes I do feel like Lucy, but seriously social anxiety disorder is frequently not considered when it should be. I actually have it and have a much more fulfilling life now that I am treated. No one really believes that I have this problem, but no one knew me before! Thank God I figured it out when I did!!
