I Need Advice and Support

Literally everyday I feel paranoid and get sad over the thought of losing people or what

people say about me. If my best friend doesn't say Hi to me or greet me at my locker or

something, I start getting really sad. I know it isn't a big deal in general...or is it? I fear

what people think of me and I want everyone to like me. I fear losing friends the most and

I fear that I will get left...Sometimes I feel a little lonely even when there are so many

friends. What is this called? How do I overcome it? :( I know my best friend loves me but

something happened between us and it just changed me.

Here's some thoughts to take or leave.

Everyone needs alone time sometimes.
It can be super rough if you feel cast off or like you've done something.

Are you sure it's not just a little paranoia?

People are weird. They can sometimes see weakness and prey on it. Like lions happening on a stray calf..

It's a big scary world out there,
though what you project out to the world matters.

If you can turn your focus & energy onto deliberately positive outward action -

And learn to like YOU do something nice when you're alone just for you.
Write out good & bad qualities you see in yourself & where you can effect improvement

No one is perfect. Try not to be hard on yourself.
Or imagine what others think. (It's actually none of your business).

Try not to look so much to your friends too much for acceptance & reassurance. That energy can be off-putting.

They obviously like you to be your friend in the first place. Maybe if they don't say hi their life is rough at that time...

Be a good & true friend & be true to your own values.
If others treat you poorly(it happens s) cut them loose.

Best luck to you 😊
