How needy does it sound to ask your friend or family whether they loved you?
I almost asked my friend that.
I'm depressed but nobody knows. They just know I'm burning out.

Pretty needy tbh, but you're not wrong for needing to hear that. Sometimes when we feel like we're drowning in our own heads, it's a comfort to know there's a hand reaching out for us to grab.
But it's important to remember that actions speak louder than words. If people are trying to be in your life and making sure you're okay, it's a pretty good sign they love you, even if it's not spoken. If you're unsure if they're making an effort, you could try making plans to hang out somewhere and see whether they truly want to be around you

@TinyViolins Thank you for your insight ! You are right... sometimes their action show love... but I'm just get anxious at times. 🥹
In counterpart, I do say I love you a lot (to the people I sincerely love) and I give a lot of love. 🥹 Sometimes I say it just so I hear it in return 🥹

@AoNoSora Everyone has their own love language. For some, it's very important to make sure it's said and understood, others show it through physical language like hugs or touch, some give gifts, some give compliments, some believe in acts of service.
Anxiety definitely works hard to highlight our insecurities and doubts, but a lot of the time it's nothing but noise in our heads. Is is possible for some of your friends and family to be inauthentic about their love for you? Of course. But for every single one of them to not love you? Sounds very unlikely
