Overthinking

4 months ago · 1 · overthinking, +2

I know i love my friends. They're very dear to me. But i feel like i dont show/let the poeple i love know i care about them. And im scared one day they'll all just leave and i'll be alone. But i dont do much to prove it. So feel like such a bad friend.

But i know i'm just stuck in my thoughts right now. I know everyone expresses their love in different ways. But when i think about it, nothing i do seems like an act of appreciation. But i know they must already know how I feel without me verbally expressing. Almost 10 years since we all became friends. If they've stuck around me for that long, of course they'd know I care. So I definitely need to stop overthinking.

I sent them a msg before writing this and one of them basically said I didnt have to worry because I was doing great. I'm not really sure what great I've done but I cried a bit because idk it was reassuring. But now I feel like I'm fishing for compliments, which doesnt make sense. Idk whats going on with my thoughts right now. None of it makes sense.

    You are feeling insecure and need reassurance from your friends just as a wife needs her husband to tell her he loves her. You want to be wanted.
