The same thing happened to me in high school. I thought they all hated me and didn’t want to be abandoned by friends again so I isolated myself. Even though we were friends for years they gave up on me pretty quickly. I’m still not sure how they felt about me. My mom says I’m being paranoid. This was probably pretty unhelpful I didn’t mean it to be. I just started remembering. Overall my advice is no matter your fear just don’t isolate yourself it doesn’t help at all.

They wouldn’t be your friends if that was the case

That makes me think of the song “Afraid” by “The Neighbourhood”! I love singing along to it and yelling the curse words, especially when my OCD has me afraid of so many similar things. I find music SUPER helpful for getting me through tough times, and songs like this reinforce the idea that “I’m not alone” in regards to my feelings and experiences because obviously the artist has experienced this too, so maybe listening to the song and singing along might be helpful. ??♀️

That’s the exact reason I fell in love with musical theatre (specially Dear Evan Hansen)

My ocd is going off the hinges. I can’t stop thinking God is angry at me and hates me and it’s weird. And can’t stop thinking everyone hates me. I can’t stop thinking that no matter what I try I’ll never get better. This sucks

Honestly I’ve never felt like the worst person ever , all my life I’ve always struggle with fitting in and making a good friend group, and I always think I don’t do enough for anybody and sometimes when I feel like somebody is becoming cold or distant I make sure to keep a distant too out of respect or a mechanism to help me not feel hurt , as a result a friend of mine did this and I stayed away because I had no idea what she was going through and my other friend who I’ve met at the beginning of the year I’ve never had a good feeling abt her because I noticed her starting to be really flirty with my boyfriend and when I tried talking to somebody about it , she twisted the entire situation to her assuming I was sl*t shaming her, which I’d never do that is not in my dictionary , so when I arrived to school everyone said she was saying really bad things about me and what’s worse is that she did this two months ago and I found out last week I cried to all of them about it and they ignored me they all laughed and just left me there to cry , I tried talking to my friend who slowly grew distant instead I noticed her getting closer to the friend who wronged me . I noticed all my friends growing a distant , I slowly felt like I failed as friend and then I slowly starting convincing myself i was a failure in general , so as a result, I turned to marijuana and cough medicine, and multiple dealers reach out weekly so I can buy more stuff , and what’s worse is that I know these people are not good friends but I still let them get to my head and on top of that I resort to substance abuse to help with my overthinking and anxiety , I need advice

It’s so hard for me to make friends for some reason, understanding people for me is Impossible, like whenever they do something I feel like they don’t like me anymore or they are pissed at me and I feel bad, and I constantly feel like I need to prove that I’m a good friend or try to be the best but they always go away. I have a friend who I really appreciate and I was always talking to her but suddenly she seems distant and doesn’t talk to me that much, and I don’t know if I did something she just said it was college stuff but I don’t know 😭 help
