I don’t have faith in my friends, I don’t have faith in my family members

I’m clingy and needy, I overanalyse every word I say and every thing people say to me

I’m always looking for reassurance and this puts people off, makes it worse

I’ve lost good friends because of this “neediness”

I have somewhat recovered from this but the damage has already been done. I am hoping time can heal wounds and they see that I’ve changed but I don’t know for sure

All this uncertainty, coupled with my anxiety and mistakes I’ve made in the past

I just want to isolate myself and not get close to anyone, but what is going to happen to me I’m not sure

I had an argument with a coworker and they want nothing to do with me. I was having an anxiety episode and I kinda became needy that one time

I’m in a mess, I need to be patient and work on my anxiety before I can deal with friendships and stuff

Friendships will help your anxiety. Do not isolate yourself or you will compound your problems. Don’t act desperate, either. Remember to be a friend to others and ask for nothing in return, you won’t get disappointed and you build a foundation for future growth.

Thank you

I’m trying to be that way now, but I’ve done mistakes in the past

I hope time can heal things and past friends can see that I’m not desperate anymore

That would mean a lot

Thank you for sharing. Your anxiety has certainly helped me understand my own anxiety.

Sounds like you have one leg over the saddle. Now finish getting on your horse and ride. People will notice the change in you and be happy for you.
