Feel help: Closed. - Help.com

you should try to relax

what’s your name?

well cel, helping people is a good start.
find someone who needs your help.
and befriend them.

Its the same with me…

Hey cell. I’m getting this problem too. Like u replied to my post about liking my best friend and that helped me. But listen, when you feel like you’re pushing everyone away, find a lifeline. Ur Best friend can help. You can just vent on someone. Tel Someone how you feel. You’ll feel better trust me.

Yes, Cel.

I think part of it is like what Amanda said, I feel like I will only drag others down; like I am a disease that needs to be quarantined.

Part of it is due to low self esteem and paranoia; I think that when someone want to hang out, it is because they pity me, they feel obligated to, or they are trying to use me.

That was me….

I know the feeling, it’s hard. I would say, start with the small things.
Call your mom back! Say, sorry about earlier. I’ve been feeling really down. Tell her what you just told us… I know it’s hard, because you don’t want to hurt her, but she’d probably be glad to know what’s going on in your life. When you get upset about pushing your friends away, write them a letter telling them what you’re thinking. Sometimes it’s easier to be sincere in a letter or e-mail than in person.
You’ll be okay!

I am late at your problem, but did read all the great replies. I wonder if you are like a lot of people that got hurt. Sometimes when that happens, you lose your trust. If you put your heart out there and it is harmed. You lose trust. Trust is hard to regain. Some people don’t ever get over their hurt because they got hurt so bad and would rather keep anyone else away than go thru that again! But not everyone does hurt you, you might of dealt with one or even several that did hurt you, but again, trust someone again. Being behind walls keeps all out, and you are alone feeling empty and miserable in your self imposed prison. Think hard about why you push away. All angles. Good vibes to you, hope we all helped.
