Why do i feel like everyone hates me?

The feeling that everyone hates you is a cognitive distortion often rooted in anxiety, low self-esteem, or past rejection. Your brain, primed to detect social threats, can misread neutral behavior as hostility. This distortion is painful and feels completely real — but it does not accurately reflect others' feelings. Cognitive reframing combined with building genuine self-worth reduces this pattern over time. Lovon provides a space to voice this fear and explore what it might be connected to.
