My best friend is someone who I can not talk to for days and days, weeks even, and when we get together it's like no time went by at all. Conversations are just as wonderful and intimate as they always are. But other friends, newer friends, if I haven't talked to them in a while, I worry. I know my best friend would contact me if she needed me, we don't have to talk to each other every day. We're like sisters. My newer friends though... I care just as deeply about them, but the dynamic is different. If they don't text me or something, I worry. Like... I stress-worry. Bite-my-nails-to-the-quick-worry. That doesn't normal to me, but it's my normal. And that's not to say we constantly have to be talking to each other or anything like that, but when I don't hear from them, I kinda freak. What if something happened to them? What if they don't want to talk to me anymore? My over-thinking brain fries my nerves and leaves me frayed. Is anyone else this way with their worrying? Like... I realize I'm overthinking and worrying too much, but at the same time... When they go radio-silent it's terrible.

I woke up a little while ago. It takes me a little long because my first thought when I wake is her. I always try to go back to sleep and avoid it but we can't...
this is a normal feeling and fear to have. I'm the person who's fears came true. The person who never heard from them again. I will say life goes on... People come and people go. The ones who care stay and the ones who don't go. If you care, reach out to them and let them know but expect a response from the ones who care and if you don't hear back, it's okay to let them go. I quit drinking years ago and I'm left with me myself and I and no one else to show... but that's ok be grounded in yourself, your own values, and love for your individuality and people will come and some will stay. those are the ones you want around.
ReplyThat stress-worry kind of happen to me too. I got a friend who's living in a kinda broken home so I got worried when she's not replying to any of my messages. I freak out but I still try to think positively. I try to start a new conversation the next day and if she's still not replying I'll give her a call. If she's still not answering I'll call until she pick it up.
