I always felt like I was never good enough or worthy enough or important enough. Being ignored triggers those feeling.

I was very surprised most people didn't side with your thoughts. The problem is I am very lonely. I was shipped to a new state to make a new start--on my own, no help from Mom or Dad--and I've been constantly jumping at opportunities where I can make friends....but it's been two years and I've only made one solid friend. Everyone else AKA my classmates, are just chummy classmates but not friends. The dependency is a big key word here, I depend on my roster of connections to make me feel less lonely.
However, I am moving out on my own, no roommates, so I will have to learn to live comfortably on my own by myself. It's a great opportunity for me to step away from my toxic relationship with my parents and truly discover more about me, but I am not sure how I will deal with the loneliness.
Luckily, I am seeing my T today and I am sure she will help me sort things out.
