    This is a frequent occurrence with people who lack certain level of confidence in their ability to maintain a friendship over a long period of time. Deep down do you wonder whether or not people will leave you over time because they will be bored, angered or frustrated with something about you? If you feel this is accurate then maybe you should begin spending more time getting to know yourself and getting to love and respect yourself. If you believe that you are really a person who has a lot to offer, a person who enjoys the company of others but could cope if you had to remain without them (this is very difficult to do).

    This experience may be normal now, if you are a teenager, as you grow older, get wiser and gain confidence in your abilities and qualities; hopefully, things will change for the better!

    best of luck to you!

      Thanks for your input. I'm actually not a teenager but sometimes I feel I have the mindset of one. What is your profession, may I ask?

        I am a counselor in training. I am not a professional and can only give suggestions and recommendations, of course.
