Hi, how are you feeling right now? It takes awareness to notice your own thinking patterns, and that's a real strength. "Mind reading" isn't a disorder. It's a common thinking habit in which we assume we know what others are thinking about us, and it usually assumes the worst. It tends to go hand in hand with low self-esteem and depression, because negative core beliefs act like a filter that colors everything you see. Try this: when you catch yourself thinking "they must think I'm...", write the thought down, then write two other possible explanations. Also treat one small win a day as evidence against the old belief, however minor it seems. Core beliefs like "I'm not good enough" are rarely random. They usually form early, from specific experiences, and they can be changed, but not just by telling yourself to think positively. There's more to look at here, including where your beliefs began, what keeps them alive today, and how the depression and the self-doubt feed each other. CBT and schema-focused therapy are built for exactly this. A therapy session can help you trace those beliefs and slowly replace them with ones that are fairer to you.

It sounds like you are experiencing significant emotional distress characterized by depressive symptoms, low self-esteem, negative core beliefs, and cognitive distortions such as "mind reading" (assuming you know what others are thinking, usually negatively, without sufficient evidence). These feelings are often tied together in a cycle: deep-seated negative core beliefs (e.g., "I am not good enough") can fuel automatic thoughts like mind reading, which in turn deepens depression and lowers self-confidence. The good news is that these negative thinking patterns and beliefs are learned over time, which means they can also be unlearned with the right support and strategies.

It can be managed with the correct approach. Consult when possible
