I was bullied pretty badly up until high school, and ever since 9th grade I have had this extreme paranoia and fear of people's judgement. I always feel like everyone is watching me and constantly judging me and it makes it very difficult for me to be in places with a lot of people, or even go outside. I want to start jogging, but in addition to my complete lack of cardio, I feel like people will see me and judge me. I'm not even entirely sure what they would think about me, but I always think people have something negative to say about me. This is even worse with women, because I feel that any attractive girl immediately sees me as a loser and wants nothing to do with me. Considering I'm off to college in a few weeks, this is a big problem.

Could someone help me?

The logical thing to do would be to go to a doctor and start getting treatment, it sounds like social anxiety which wouldn't be surprising, but I'm not a doctor, none of us here are.
If you really don't want to do that try to teach yourself to look at the world differently, it seems like it's caused you to have a very bad view on people which is understandable but not everyones the same, and to be honest, so what if people judge you? Yeah it's not nice but what other people think shouldn't matter to you as long as you're confident in who you are :)
