I attach myself too easily?
Backstory, needed for context: I have EXTREME social anxiety, to the point where I CAN'T talk to anyone besides a few close people and I can't go in stores or across roads with cars driving on them by myself, a whole shit ton of other stuff, but context, I guess.
I attach myself to people I grow close with, I grow clingy and most times I won't leave their side. I trust people so easily, forgive WAY too easily, and I just become reliant on them. I won't leave them in public or private places. I hate being alone, I always want to be with someone close. This isn't normal, I know, but I felt like maybe someone could help me out so I can be independent, like right now, the idea of living alone makes me want to die, the idea of not being able to be with someone I'm close with all the time makes me panic. I'm SO dependent on others that it's unhealthy.
Please, if anyone has any advice, ANY at all, please tell me. Please.
