if you're dumb you don't know people don't like you so you can at least enjoy the company of other people

what if you willingly choose to live a life thinking by default that nobody dislikes you nor likes you
I live naively by this because I really can't afford to think about it otherwise I would just isolate myself.
I just analyze my actions and how they can affect the other person. And I have to admit that, because of this, I get a whole bunch of anxiety by people that don't communicate much, but I just tell myself to keep going and that people are entitled to their own opinions.

by default that nobody dislikes you nor likes you
oh right, I think that's also true, most people don't have the time, energy etc. to think as much about other people as we think they do about us. everyone is mostly occupied thinking about themselves (no judgement!).

My problem is, I'm smart enough to question whether my perception of whether people like me is accurate or not, thereby leaving me in a quandary of not actually knowing whether anyone likes me, short of asking them, but even if you ask they probably won't tell you the truth.
