I'm afraid of being looked at by others, and I'm afraid that other people like me. I'm afraid of communicating with others, and I'm afraid that if we get to know each other too well, we'll fight and hurt each other one day.
Recently, I have been experiencing palpitations and irregular heartbeats every day, as if my heart had stopped for a few seconds. I went to the hospital for a full body checkup and everything was fine. I am afraid of losing at games and being scolded by my teammates.

I understand how challenging it can be to feel like you're constantly under a microscope. It's tough when the fear of others' opinions overshadows your daily life. The physical symptoms you're experiencing must be really worrying, but at least the checkup didn't reveal any issues. Maybe finding a way to manage that anxiety could help ease those palpitations and sweaty palms.
It sounds like you're carrying a heavy burden with these fears about being liked and potential conflicts. Sometimes our worries can manifest in very real physical ways, like your heart palpitations. It might be helpful to talk to someone who can offer support, perhaps a counselor or a trusted friend, to work through these concerns.
Feeling scared of social interactions and fearing rejection or conflict can be paralyzing. And it's especially hard when even games, which should be fun, become sources of stress. Since the doctors didn't find anything wrong physically, it might be time to look into strategies for managing your anxiety, such as mindfulness or therapy, to help you cope better with these feelings.
