"You better believe all you do has a sense, it's not for nothing...


Anyone's anxiety ever make them go on a roller coaster of emotions about trusting someone new?

I'm sometimes worried that maybe because I won't trust someone, I might lose them, all because of my anxiety.

I have the exact same problem. Except it usually happens after I trust someone and not before.

Hm. Okay, you actually put it a lot better than I did. That's exact. It's once I begin to trust them, I have doubts. It's so stupid.

Yes that happens to me too. When I start feeling myself wanting a friendship with someone and growing just the slightest bit comfortable with them I start to doubt and not trust the person. So I push them away. sweatdrop Which is probably why I have no friends IRL.

I find myself putting distance between myself and others, even if I don't know them, because I'm not sure I can trust them. I know I've lost a lot of opportunities for friends in the past this way. If I had been more open then I probably would have more than one (maybe two) friends. It's a b***h.

I was bullied in the past by people I didn't even know and also had some friends that turned out to be horrible towards me. I think it makes me more unsure about becoming friends with new people rather than starting to become friends then pushing them away.
