i used to have this, id recommend working on self love. you’re just assuming that people are forming negative perceptions of you based on your own thoughts about situations and yourself. so if you’re constantly thinking loads of negative things about yourself you’re gonna believe that others do too, it’s just not true. and even if it was, it doesn’t matter, you’re the only person who needs to like you. and yeah i guess it can be ocd but from my own experience working on my self esteem is what got me over it

That's true. And also, if you connect your self worth to your environment, your worth will fluctuate with each interaction. But the truth is that your worth is always the same, even IF someone doesn't like you or doesn't perceive you the "right" way. You can't please everyone. Accepting this uncertainty about how you are perceived, not being able to controll it, is part of overcoming this fear

I'm going through something similar and have been working on with my therapist. These are some statements that I have been saying to myself (with time, it influences my way of thinking): There's no way to know for sure how others are perceiving me. This is uncomfortable. I can handle this and I don't have to fix it. No matter how much I review this in my mind, I can't control or predict how others may be perceiving me.

It’s probably not rooted in OCD, it’s normal thoughts. your OCD is just trying to make you think too much about it.
