This could be a new relationship. There is nothing wrong with your boyfriend going out with his friends and spending time on his own. Try to agree on times when your not going to see each other to minimize you getting anxious. Healthy relationships need times when you are going to be apart from each other.

It might be because of some underlying issues in your relationship. Maybe a lack of communication. Or it might have something to do with your past which makes you anxious and scared of losing people.

Getting anxious over something could mean that you're afraid of something to happen. Maybe you're anxious of your boyfriend meeting someone else? Think deeper about it. You're worried about something. But from what I can tell, it's only a feeling that is related to anxiety. And anxiety cause often negative thoughts which affects you.

you fret that he is going to either get hurt or he is going to go with another girl who he had met. It's natural, don't worry.

You can be anxious for numerous reasons, but don't worry about it too much. You can be anxious because of a possibility of him cheating on you, or if he is doing something dangerous. It can be any circumstance. But if he seems to enjoy and love you don't worry about it!

Sometimes we let all of our confidence in one person in particular, we evaluate them higher than they do us, I mean we extent to a point were we see something and star to imagine what would it be if we have seen it with that person for example, and that's okay to the point in which we don't confuse or own individuality, we have to keep clear where all of that confidence in one person can harm us, because sometimes something they do, as looking for their own wellness can affect us very badly even if that wasn't the intention, we have to keep our minds in ourselfs and not to let it escape into someone else's decision.

Sometimes, we feel paranoid about our significant others meeting other people, which may be what's causing the anxiety that many people get. It's okay to feel like this, and maybe to make yourself feel a little better about it, you could talk to him about how you feel to get reassurance. :)

If you love someone, you should trust him. But sometimes we can't help it and some disturbing thoughts cross our minds. What if my boyfriend meets another girl and likes her. That has happened many times before so I really get anxious when my boyfriend goes out especially to meet with friends.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
