Something feels wrong

I feel so at peace, yet so lonely. Time seems so slow and so fast all at once, and it's scaring me. I feel like im still 12, because when i was 12, everything was okay, i didnt care what people thought. Now im 16 nd trying desperately to go back to that stage of love for myself. Dont get me wrong, i love myself when im alone, but now, around other people, all i feel is the pressure to fit in and like what everyone else likes, and if even just 1 thing is different, my brain just makes me think im weird, and maybe i am weird, maybe i just need to accept that fact and ignore everyone else. But I care too much, and way too little all at the same time, I just need to figure out how to change that.

Everyone is different, if we were all the same and liked the same things, the world would be a boring place. Embrace yourself, your likes, your quirks. You have friends and they are friends with you because they like who you are and what you bring to the friendship group.

Easier said than done, but try not to overthink every little thing. I have been guilty of this before and it does you no good.

I have also learned to not worry about things that I cannot control.

@DS1980 im trying my best to change the way I think and feel about myself, it's just difficult sometimes

@iiBri It is difficult Bri. No doubt about it. Try to focus on the positives of your interactions and put doubts to the back of your mind x

@DS1980 i managed to do that for like a month but recently my anxiety nd overthinking has been getting the best of me

Anxiety makes everything more difficult, but you have done it before so you can do it again. Just remember to take a moment to breathe when it all seems too much x
