I just registered here and I just wanted to say hi. I've been super paranoid of what my friends are thinking of me lately, so I thought I'd give this place a try, at least to get my thoughts out there in hopes that someone might understand and help me. It is something I've struggled with for a long time, and its really getting overwhelming now. I feel like my neediness is turning people against me, but I don't know if I'm just imagining it or not. - Frank

Hello Frank, and welcome to PsychCentral. This is a wonderful place, filled with support, friendship and a healthy dose of understanding.
I have come through a very needy time in my life so I might understand a little of what you say. Please continue to post as you feel comfortable. We are all here to listen, learn, support and love (amongst so many other good things). Take care!

Hi there,
Welcome to PC, I'm glad you found this terrific site. After reading your post, I was wondering if you have considered therapy to help you work through this? If you are already in therapy,you may want to discuss with your therapist some techniques that can help you overcome this or at least lessen it. One thing that is a good start is that you are able to recognize this and have the want to do something about it,that alone helps the therapist help you. I sincerely wish you luck with this, and want you to know there is hope. Take care now, DE

I also hope that you find this place to be a supportive one, I have. It is how you may put yourself across that you may have been pushing others away. We may not notice at the time but when we express that we may be needing support we may sound demanding and it puts others in a akward, overwhelming situation. Worst of all when we think we are asking others for support instead we, ourselves push others away because we don't want to feel rejected by them so instead we don't even them that chance. These are just a thought and I don't know your situation just yet. We should be able to trust the people in our lives for support and not to feel gulity to ask for the support that we maybe needing. It may not always mean that we could always get the full support we need but sometimes a simply nod of understanding and a caress on the arm is just as great. Welcome!!

Hi Frank. I am so afraid of what my friends think of me. I was recently diagnosed bipolar and now everyone sees me so differently and I dont know why, or if its bad or good or what. Then one friend completely cuts off and I havent heard from her since and I dont know if its because of this bipolar thing. Then my sister stopped talking to me and told me Im a druggy who cant deal with life and Im not bipolar, I only take my meds but now Im a druggy? Then my best friend in the whole world has been weird. I dont know if its me or him or what. ITs hard to not worry about what they think. You want to have friends and be normal. But I feel like Im not normal so I have to do what it takes to keep the crappy friends Ive got. But then I finally stand up for myself and things got bad by losing friends better but now theyre better cause Im better off without them. Its just really lonely at times. But I know a lot of the times you're worried about what theyre thinking, nothings wrong, youre worrying for no reason. I get so paraniod over nothing. So good luck with your friends. Try not to worry too much of what they think, which I know is hard. Counseling does help, I know for me its helped my self esteem a lot. I got pretty bad for awhile.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
