Hi Med, sounds like anxiety and a lot of self-consciousness. It's skewing your perception so you misinterpret what's going on around you, what people are saying, etc...Your mind is just playing tricks on you...Like you're externalizing your fears and social inadequacies. You're not psychotic or paranoid in my opinion, med. And I'm a crazy guy so I know crazy. I don't see it in your post.

Based on reading some of your posts I sense you're anti-med. Now you've reached the breaking point - So, what options do you have? The first step I would take is talk to a professional (yes, again). I have the same problem from time to time and it makes me think I'm crazy. My brother, who's married and in dental school, goes through the same kind of social anxiety sometimes. We both suffer from anxiety and ADHD (although my anxiety is worse). ADHD runs in our family. He takes Metadate and I take Adderall.

Best of luck to you.

It will all work out. No man is a failure who has friends.
