Hello. For context, I am in a university.
I do not have any friends, and it feels like colleagues talk bad about me. This makes me quite hesitant to join any circles or attend seminars. I am not sure it is everyone who thinks bad about me though, I fear about asking.
Yet I plan to do research, so I should attend seminars to learn current trends and stuffs.
May I ask what I should do in such a situation? Are friends necessary, or not really? Also should I stop being in this environment and get a job instead?
Thanks for reading lengthy paragraph, I would love any comments or advice for this.
Thanks, I see that it could be related.
That said, I've spoken about this issue to many doctors and psychiatrists, and it did not help - doctors just raised dosage, and psychiatrists told me to actually talk with people. Problem is, with my social anxiety, it is so difficult to talk with people..
