My anxiety causes me to overthink things and get over emotional and paranoid which has caused my friends to not like me anymore is it normal for people to get driven away by people with anxiety because it definitely has ruined my life
It really is exhausting dealing with someone who vacillates between hating you for perceived "crimes" like talking behind their back, not liking them, conspiring against them etc (even if they are not true); and pitiful self-loathing.
Not trying to bum you out here, just being honest.
Dealing with a friend with anxiety is worse than dealing with a pregnant wife. Your wife is usually more rational, and you know the craziness will go away in a few months.
Get help for your anxiety problem, or get used to being lonely. They are your options.
You are just one Mr Sunshine aren't you? Not trying to bum you out here, just being honest. Your comments are in chronic need of a more positive spin. A person suffering from anxiety does not need your prognosis of epic doom: "...or get used to being lonely." Granted, the OP should get help as you advise. But your statement should have ended there. The comma and totally unnecessary addendum to your advisory statement was way off the mark. Not to mention (which of course I will) the glaring fact that your opening paragraph is freighted with excessive punctuation. A bit of showing off I suspect. Semi colon indeed. I expect to see some effort at improvement in the future. Or else.
Ratty, get Imaginative with your insults, or just give up will you sweetie. You are starting to bore me, and if you can't pick up your game, I may have to just totally ignore you.
It's not insulting it's a man crush. Look at the attention to detail. The suggestive tone ("not trying to bum you out") who the hell says that? It's like starting a sentence "With all due respect" you know damn well you are about to be insulted. As for the whole 'bumming out' business it's pretty obvious in the eyes of everyone with eyes. Far be it from me to point this out. Just you wait... next he'll bring Ratman back for extra attention. I wonder if Dallas has a card for this occasion?
It's normal if your friends are assholes. If they were true friends they would be more understanding.
from your friends perspective, it's not very interesting to keep a friend that has anxiety, especialy if you don't consider their tips to hekp you, even if they don't help you directly. Simetime when you see your friends being drifting away and your help doesn't seem ti do anything, you can't see any other solution but to back off... :/
