Fear of being annoying...?

I fear being perceived as "annoying" by other people. Seriously. And I find this quite...well, annoying. When I feel that I've crossed the boundary into the land of "annoying" (which I define as being needy or clingy), my heart starts to race. I basically have a panic attack. And then my depression starts to set in. And I hate it, because it goes against everything that I want to be: someone who can be themselves without fear or reservation. So first of all, it is normal? Secondly, any tips for reducing my paranoia?

    It's normal, but it's not good. Just try to be more relaxed around people.

    Oh my gosh. I'm the same way, but I never really thought about it as a fear of being annoying. Now that I look at it, it totally is, because all the same things happen to me! The depression, the heart racing. I can't really tell you if it's normal or not, but it happens to me.

  • I used to be like that but you'll notice of you start to be annoying because people change and either way your friends should still love you so it's all good:)
