Favorite person
My bestfriend is my fav person and i love them, so much. But ive become so dependent on them. The moment they’re gone i feel empty and upset and im always terrified of losing them or them leaving. I think i need some advice here, thank you.
Hi! I'm someone who has been in this situation as the friend being relied on. Please know they're probably very happy to be able to support them! But do remember that they're there to support you, not to save you completely, because that they're the same age and probably dont have much more experience in life than you do. (I'm assuming, anyway.) They're always there to listen to you, but if you're struggling THAT much and have no one to turn to, consider seeing a licensed therapist. It does matter if you dont think you're sad enough to see a therapist, it's better to stop the cause of the problem before said problem grows. You can talk to your parents about therapy, if they dont take you seriously then talk to your school counselor. If all goes well, that's great and I hope you will feel better! I really hope this helped!
@tealComputer2510 Fear of abanonment is really difficult to cope with. Your feelings are valid.
@tealComputer2510 It is really painful to remain apart from your friend for so long. I highly recommend a therapist, but I do have some advice. If you havent already explained how you feel, do so to your friend. Making new friends and maintaining those relationships can help you feel more secure. Reassuring yourself that your friend will always come back to you may help as well
