study of millions of people found that one in 10 people didn’t feel they had a close friend, while one in five never or rarely felt loved. Human beings are a social species, and yet, every one of us feels, on some level, like we just don’t fit in with everyone else.Ī recent U.K. When psychologist Lisa Firestone conducted research using a scale that measured individual’s self-destructive thoughts, she found the most common critical thought people had toward themselves was that they are not like other people. And yet, this exact thought is extremely common to shy people and extroverts alike. This feeling has almost no bearing in reality and no purpose other than to deeply wound us and turn us against ourselves and whatever our goals may be. There is perhaps no more painful thought in the world than that of “nobody likes me.” It’s an easy feeling to indulge and dwell on, a terrible go-to self-attack in low moments when we feel isolated, depressed, anxious or insecure.
