Thanks, Rapunzel.
Sorry the same thing happened to you.

But here is something to try. Each day, make an effort to notice the times when your friends are there for you, and they show that they care. Keep a journal of those things (don't worry about the misses when they might walk with someone else or something - as you said, they have other friends too and that doesn't mean they aren't your friend anymore). Keep working on building your case for believing that your friends really do care about you. Maybe the ones you hung around with when you were younger weren't really good friends, but that says more about them than about you. Things are different now.

That's a very good idea! I think I'll give that a go. I really need to start trusting them more...I keep over-analysing things they say (or don't say...we didn't really talk very much today, and it kinda hurt, although it was probably my fault because I don't find conversation easy) or their tone of voice...it makes trying to be sociable really hard work when I'm like that, but it still feels scary to just accept that they might like me, if that makes sense.
Some evidence might help.
