is it selfish if I leave soc. media friends because that site triggered my anxiety?
I like my online friends, but lately I realized how they remind me of my bad experience with that site.. So then I take a break from it, completely. So that I can feel less anxious, but at the same time I feel bad for leaving them too.. :(
Hi @hopefulencounter✨
Thank you for sharing ✨🙏🏽✨ I feel that it is really good that you think about yourself first: if the social network is triggering you and you want to leave, it is important to do so… Your friends will understand, maybe you come back or maybe you go to a different site/place and find new friends✨
I hope you feel better and have a good day 😊
@ElenaDeMonaco thank you, I just want to feel peace. Because these friends, they may be good but sometimes also caused my overthinking and anxiety about my friendships with them..
another problem is that I used to trust them, that I told them about my sad stories 😔 but lately they ghosted me so.. my anxiety is acting up again
I am truly sorry that you are experiencing this @hopefulencounter ✨ Please be kind to yourself…they were your friends and you trusted them, you were just acting like a good friend - ghosting is not nice at all and if this is triggering you, I humbly suggest that you please choose yourself and stay away from what is causing you anxiety- I honestly hope you feel better ✨
@ElenaDeMonaco thank you 🙏, i've been thinking about this since last week.. I want to leave because I'm scared they'll betray me too .. I hope if I stay away then they will be aware that I don't want to be bothered again.. 😔 it sucks to be this anxious
