Family Anxiety in School

...See more I don't know what posting this is going to do for me, I guess I just want to talk to someone about what's going on and get advice. My cousin and I go to the same school, and we have never gotten along but over break we got into a HUGE fight with each other, like worse than ever before. There are people on both sides, and I know my friends reflect better choices for a more healthy future than her friends, because my friends tell me to show forgiveness, compassion, mercy, and help me truly move on into an emotional place where I can forgive her, but her friends make posts about me and text me from anonymous numbers and basically attack me and it's ridiculous, but I feel like the more people talk about me, the more friends I lose. And that sucks, because I know that I'm being the bigger person by not letting my friends do that, yet I'm the one suffering from it. It's just going to be hard to go back into school and have to deal with half of the people hating me for completely exaggerated stories my cousin tells. Also, I have really bad social anxiety and I used to think everyone hated me already, but now it's way way worse. I'm incredibly sensitive (but getting better) and will cry over things people say to me, and I'm tired of hearing "don't listen to them" because my anxiety makes me. Anyonehave any advice for how to tune out the haters?
