How do you know whether or not people genuinely like you? In particular I have a situation with coworkers that pretend to care (or how I perceive it) and I'm finding it hard to trust them and their intentions. I want them to like me and I want to be included but my anxiety issues make it impossible somedays. How do you deal with social aspect of work?? Sometimes the anxiety is crippling and I feel I'm stuck in a bullying type of situation and I'm scared to speak up for myself. Any advice or experience appreciated.
