So I’ve been diagnosed with both depression and anxiety since I was 14. Recently I have been dealing with feeling unworthy, annoying, and like a bother to my friends. I know I’m not bothering anyone because I never contact them first (like I said I have a fear of bothering people). That is my problem. Even if my friends do reach out to me, I still have this terrible feeling like maybe I’m a boring person or maybe I’m not worthy of their friendship or attention. All these worries and what if’s have put me into a really dark place. I feel I cannot tell my friends how I feel because I would come off as I’m a downer and they probably wouldn’t understand. I just want someone to tell me I’m not alone in feeling this way. I feel like such a pest all the time and it just makes me distance myself from everyone. It’s hard feeling this way

The only way we can get our needs met is if we share what they are with those who might meet those needs.
