So I get rly in my head and jealous over my relationships with friends vs my friends relationships with one another. I know that everyone has a different relationship / friendship but I always feel like I’m not loved as much or that I’m being replaced or am the ugly friend or the annoying one etc. my therapist has told me about rational vs emotional thinking and while I do find that helpful I wondered if there’s anything I can do in the moment to avoid shutting down. 

Sometimes I can’t stand to listen to my friends talk about plans with each other in the future that I’m not included in or things they’ve done together without me and it feels so stupid and pathetic to get upset, but I do and then I shut down in the moment and it isn’t until later that I can apply the rational vs emotional thinking.
