I feel obsessed with my boyfriend's friends. I don't have a big circle of friends and sometimes feel lonely, and I guess I view his friends as quite fun and "cool". I know I sound like a teenager, but I'm actually in my mid-late twenties.

The problem is, everytime I'm around them I don't feel good enough and I always feel really bad about myself after. I'm quite silly and quirky and they're a little more laid back and reserved, and I always end up experiencing anxiety and feel upset and angry about the whole thing. But I can't get over the obsession.

One girl in particular causes me alot of upset, because we click really well but she's also quite cold and distant at times and it makes me feel so awful and rejected. She picks and chooses when she wants to be my friend sometimes and I hate it.

The whole thing is having a huge effect on me. His friends honestly make me feel worthless. I guess it's because I'll never feel accepted by them, or "cool" enough. I wish I could get over it and not care, but I can't seem to get past it.

I'm not sure if anyone could give me advice? I just want to get over this.

How much of your anxiety is real and how much is imagined? You say you're quirky and feel like they think you're not cool enough. Does your bf feel there's any conflict with his friends towards you not being cool or good enough for them?
