I’m in this comment and I don’t like it. The worst part for me is feeling this way about reaching out to friends. I want to text them, I want to schedule a hangout, I want to be part of their lives, but every time I go to actually reach out I feel like I’m just imposing on them. I convince myself they don’t actually want to hear from me, that they think I’m Too Much™, that being excited to see them will push them away.
I just thought about deleting this comment. Here it is anyway…
I feel this. My friends feel this, but I absolutely adore it when they do reach out as I feel loved and appreciated. So think of the joy you are bringing everyone just by reaching out.
I totally understand. I feel the same way. Your comment (and the others in this thread) help me feel less alone. Thank you for that; I genuinely mean it. I’m so sorry that your brain is mean to you like mine is to me. I hope you’re able to work to retrain it. You deserve better. <3
