the other day, a friend told me that they would never date me because they would constantly worry about me and would feel like they need to check in to see if i’m okay all the time. and ouch. i’ve struggled with social anxiety and anxiety in general since i was young. and i’m on meds and stuff but i still try really damn hard to hide it even if i’m not doing well. and this sucked to hear because it made me think- am i too much? is my anxiety too much for people? will anyone ever be able to love me? do my bad qualities outweigh the good? i’ve had many friends make comments similar through the years, most having a main idea that i am a pity friend. it makes them feel like they are helping the world by being my friend. and this isn’t even to shit on my friends, it’s more about me and how the world perceives me. i just feel like people like me except my anxiety, and i want someone to like me despite my anxiety. has anyone ever felt like no one will love you even with your anxiety? how did you get through it?
