Feeling a little alone
I have been trying really hard this week to be distant with a few of my friends who I normally reach out to on a constant basis, because I fear I'm overbearing to them. But in pulling away I notice I am not hearing from anyone. And while I'm sure everyone has their own life to take care of and I have been through this before, it never lessens the pain sometimes I feel in isolation from it. I just wish I was more open and could make newer friends easier you know?

Hello, So sorry that you are feeling this way. Our friends are a good support for us and you are heard and supported. Check here in chatroom for further support.
@Denelfo10 Hey <3 I can relate to how it gets more difficult each time we go through it. What you are feeling is very understandable but I am sure that the people who truly care for us won't mind us leaning on them for support ^-^
It's very thoughtful of you to try and understand their sides too but I know how our minds can turn every thought into a negative one. What helps me when I have such doubts is to remind myself of all the times they were there for me and helped me, another thing that helps is creating healthy boundaries. Please know that there is nothing wrong in reaching out for help when you need it, sometimes life is just too hard to handle on our own.
I know you are trying and I am proud of you for trying <3 I hope you find a lot of supportive, kind and understanding people around you, hope you feel better soon.
Thank you so much for that, it was so kind, I just wish I didn't feel like I was being such a bother to them but I need to understand I can't make assumptions for people if they haven't told me otherwise. Thank you for helping me work through that
@Denelfo10 <3 It's not easy to let go and just erase the way you feel at once, it takes time. Acceptance helps with letting go, accepting that you feel that way and to know that it's okay, they are just thoughts and learning to not judge yourself for feeling a certain way.
Thinking about how others view you, can be so exhausting, maybe you can try to focus on how things or interaction with people makes you feel, focus on if there's anything you wish to change or do better without putting extra pressure of judgments. Challenge the negative thoughts rather than simply accepting them as the truth. Be a little more gentle with yourself. You are not a burden at all. You are just human and deserve love and support.
Mindfulness, positive affirmations can be helpful ^-^
