Friendship fears? Idk

I have this crazy fear that no one likes me. Like if someone doesn't text me back I go to most extreme places. I think they don't like me and don't want to be friends. I text three people the other day and none of them text me back. They all apologize this week for not writing back without me mentioning it. I feel good for a while and then I go back to thinking about how much people don't want to hang out with me. Even if they didn't I shouldn't care this much about it. Right now I've been waiting for an hour for my friend to text me back about hanging out. All I can think about it if they didn't want to hang out with me why didn't they say so. I'm sure I sounds crazy, I definitely feel crazy. Blaaaaah. Guess I just really needed to get that off my chest.

I feel the SAME way. And it causes me to just shy away from people in general because i know the rejection is something that will consume me. And getting a girlfriend? Forget about it.

I can acknowledge my depression. I can realize my anxiety. But this? Its like my dark secret. Its what holds me back. Its what tears me apart at night.

I don't even have anything else to say about this..

At least someone else feels this way too

I’m currently debating whether or not to text one of my friends because I think he just thinks I’m annoying. Ugggfffg

I WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING IN HS! I hate that. Really if they don't respond they are either busy or they just don't care and don't see your friendship as a priority. It does show who is really there and who isn't. If i don't reply i will tell them why and that i wish i could've replied sooner.
