@pureolife that’s very nice of you. Thank you
I’m sort of new to this app and I have my own ocd but from what I’m hearing I used to struggle and sometimes still do with asking if people are mad at me. Like I used to and still do ask my mom if she’s mad at me and then I used to get upset if she was actually mad and I wouldn’t feel better until she said she wasn’t mad anymore. I don’t have the problem as much anymore though because I’ve learned that people are going to get mad and you can’t please everybody all the time. And just because someone is mad doesn’t mean they will stay mad forever. Also if your friends didn’t invite you because your clingy or have ocd just know that God made you just how he wanted to and maybe they aren’t true friends because true friends would love you no matter the ocd or being clingy. So my advice would be to find some good friends who maybe have ocd too or just some good friends who will be there to support you.
@Hannah2004 that’s true. That’s rly hard tho
Hi astroworld ?? I’m sorry you’re feeling left out right now. I hope you know that everyone feels left out sometimes. Even the people who were invited may have felt left out of certain games or conversations once they were there. Feeling left out is a really common human experience for everyone. You may want to ask them why you weren’t invited and tell them that it hurt your feelings. Just be aware that you may not like the response (if you do get negative feedback, try not to take it to heart. Use it to better yourself if it makes sense, and ignore it if not). But no matter what, keep working in yourself. If you think you’re too clingy, see if you can try to give others more space sometimes. If someone doesn’t like you because of your OCD, that’s okay; others will like you anyways. Maybe they just weren’t the right friends for you. Get out and meet some knew people or talk to people you normally wouldn’t. You’re at a time in life where everyone is still figuring out what type of people they want to be friends with long term. You can also be someone who chooses others, not just someone who waits to be chosen.
Also, normal 14 year olds don’t get invited to stuff ALL THE TIME. No matter how cool they act or seem.
I don’t really have many friends and I feel like everyone I know hates me and idk if it’s part of my ocd or just other anxiety or depression but it makes me very sad :(
Hey, just looking for some none-OCD advice, as at the moment I don’t really have anyone to talk to. I’m gonna try and keep it short, so I don’t bore you! So, I’m from England, and I’m 16. At 16 in the UK, you go from high school to 6th form, where you spend two years doing something called your ‘A levels’, and then you go to university at 18, like all countries. I’ve been in college for 8 months now, but I’d say 65-70% of my time has been spent online - so I’ve only had a relatively small amount of time to make true friends. I had solid friends throughout high school, and I say I tilt quite a lot towards being an extravert. Ever since coming to 6th form, a lot of the people who I was friends with, went to a different school, and some of the people who were acquaintances I barely see now, because the school is so large. Basically, since coming to college I only have 2 true friends, and one of those has basically separated herself from me (she’s a bit of a bitch, but that’s another story - we’ve basically been best friends since we were 4 but she routinely ditches me) I’ve found that no one ever messages me anymore. I’ve got plans to go to the city with me and 3 other girls next Sunday - but I organised it. They were all excited, but I’ve only been invited out once by one of my other friends. I just feel like no one likes me, and that I’m repulsive to people - I know it’s irrational, but the fear that I’m just unlikeable terrifies me, as I want nothing more than a big group of friends and that’s not what I have at the minute. I’m desperate for someone to be like “hey, Ellie do you wanna come and sit with us”, but they don’t. And I’m usually just sat with one of my close friends, who I love. She’s popular, and people like her more than me but she’s self-admittedly introverted and I’m not. Ugh, this is long now. But does anyone have any advice? I’ve made a lot of acquaintances, but they all have their own friendship groups from high school - but I don’t because a lot of my friends went to a different school. I’m miserable because of this at the moment, and I feel worthless.
Anyone else get deeply sad and jealous seeing other people thrive life ? Meanwhile we’re here stuck struggling with our ocd and just mental health in general . I’m envious of what some people are able to do that I can’t :( and I don’t mean it in a hateful envious way , but just a more sad kinda way that I wish I could do stuff they can simply like driving . I’m almost 20 and I know most of ykk have probably seen many of my posts about this , but it truly puts me in a difficult state of mind . I didn’t have mental capacity to do things at younger age:( I missed out on a lot . Seeing these 16-17 year old kids achieve things way more efficiently than I did just makes me feel shitty about myself . Everyone having fun on weekend and I’m not . I don’t have many friends either .
