Their relationship is something special…

“…Yo, be careful! This is not okay”

Hey Honey,

Have your friends given you much reason for you to feel this way? For example, let’s say you hang out with a group of friends. Pineapple, Blueberry, Orange and yourself. Say that you are all at the movies, but at the last minute, Pineapple had to back out due to a personal issue. Do Blueberry and Orange talk negatively about Pineapple while she is gone, or do they simply acknowledge that she cannot join you right now? If you said ‘no, they don’t talk bad about Pineapple when she gone, than chances are they don’t talk bad about you either.

Anxiety can sometimes make us feel worthless, or like we suddenly mean a lot less to people. Common thoughts with this include:

Thinking people only hang out with you due to pity

Believing they don’t share your interests anymore

Doubting what you mean to them

Convincing yourself that everyone hates you and nobody could ever be your friend ever because you’re just such a terrible person that there is no way possible that anyone could ever like you as a result of their own free will

And other self depreciating thoughts. Now in most cases, these thoughts are just nonsense spewed out by our insecurities. When we don’t think very highly of ourselves, we don’t think anyone is going to think too nice of us either.

Believe it or not you can just ask your friends for some help with this. Ask them for some tips on how not to feel so insecure. Talk to them. express your concerns without going into too much detail. If they support you after you open up, then chances are you’ve got a good set of friends.

Keep on truckin’
