Seek help or think positive or ask because sometimes when people over think it causes them to worry too much when there's none to worry about.

By recognizing your self-worth. By realizing that your feelings are valid. By seeing that it is okay for you to feel the way you do and that there isn’t anything wrong with it.

It's a slow and steady procedure. Stay with the people closest to you and try opening up your mind to them. Your train of thought might not make sense to them at first but they'll show you that you're not a burden, but in fact a help, cause you're there for them as they're there for you

Luckily I have a solution that just might work. Do something for them. Bake a cake, help them in something, anything help them in anything. Youll feel like you are doing good to them as well in return.

You could set up a system with your good friends, like a code word that you both agree on to get a conversation to stop. Like for example if they feel like you are driving them crazy then they could say like ‘banana fudge cake’ and then both of you could pick up the conversation later. (That’s not a bad idea for most things really...) You can also ask them when it’s too much and try to gauge they’re body language. Anyways, stay safe!
