Is it normal to feel like everyone hates you?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, lots of people sometimes feel as if everyone is against them, especially when they’re stressed, lonely, or already doubting themselves. The feeling can be convincing without being an accurate read of what other people think.

That thought can show up after an awkward moment, a quiet group chat, or a rough stretch when you’re feeling low. Your mind may start treating a few uncertain signals as proof that everyone dislikes you—but feelings aren’t always reliable evidence.

It can help to pause and ask what you actually know, rather than what you fear. If there’s someone you trust, you could check in with them instead of trying to guess what everyone thinks.

If this feeling sticks around, gets stronger, or makes it hard to be around people, talking it through with someone you trust or a mental health professional may help.
