The only thing this person did was not answer my text in A long time and my brain automatically concludes they hate me and that everyone thinks I’m weird etc I’m so tired of living like this and idk how to get this off my mind or stop feeling like I’m hated for the smallest things and just stop worrying about what others think of me 24/7 does anyone have any tips?

Try and take a step back and look at the big picture. Sometimes when I get a text and open it if I am not able to respond straight away I am likely to forget I ever received it! To get over the thoughts I remind myself that I really am not that important in terms of how much other people think about me. What matters is what you think of yourself and often if we are obsessed with other people thinking badly of us it’s because we feel that way about ourselves. I try and change how I think of myself and be self compassionate and accepting of myself.
I know how you feel... It's horrible when RSD kicks in and it just keeps on spiralling... When it gets really bad, try to huddle down and wait it out. If you're able, take a shower, go for a walk, (basically all the regular self-care-cr*p we need and hate 😅). If it can cheer you up: the lows are really low and hurt like hell but on the other hand they never get to feel as happy/elated/enthusiastic/... as we do. Hang in there, this too shall pass. ❤️🩹
Know that there are so many people out there that feel exactly like you do. Find a person you can rely on just to tell you that you are worthy. Worthy of love and friendship and attention. It doesn't have to be someone you've even met. There should be an app to find a support/safe person.
