I constantly feel like I’m uninteresting and annoying to people I consider my friends.

It really doesn’t matter how many times I have to ask for reassurance that my friends are my actual friends. There’s always something in the back of my mind that tells me, ”No, they don’t like you. You’re boring, no one likes being around you.”

It especially gets worse when I see that a friend looks happier with their other friends. I start convincing myself that it’s true that I’m uninteresting, even though the previous day I asked if I was a close friend of theirs (they said yes).

I really wish I never felt like this.

I'm sorry you're feeling so sad. I know when I was younger I used to feel the same way about my friends and my boyfriend. I had a lot of self-esteem and self-worth issues that I never really addressed until I went to therapy last year. Have you considered getting some professional help? There's no shame in it. I went, and I have a degree in counseling! If you need help finding a counselor in your area you can call 855-382-5433 and they'll give you a free consult and referral. Seeing my therapist helped me to discover who I really was and to have joy in that. Only then, was I able to enjoy the fellowship of my friends, however deep or new the friendship was.

I have been in your situation too. That is probably due to low self-esteem. Stop worrying about this. Just be you. Enjoy your friends and life.
