Editors:

I don’t feel comfortable around my best friend.

Like, I get all self-conscious about myself and I feel like I can’t be myself. Now, please don’t say that “she must not be a real friend” because I know she is. But do please give me and help on letting loose and being comfortable around her. thanks

the more time you spend with her, the easier it will get…thats just what i’ve experienced. I think i know how you feel tho- when you love respect and admire someone so much, you really care what they think about you and the way you act and look, and the things you say.

i think you should realize that shes not going to bring you down, and you don’t have to impress her! she’ll still care about you no matter what if shes a really good friend.

I’m having this trouble with a couple of my friends too. i used to be part of a 3 best friend group of friends and we were always close with each other. then one day one of them got a girlfriend which i really liked too. so we got into a fight. then two of us sort of separated but i kept being friends with the other one. slowly we drifted apart because i didn’t about them anymore. now i realize what happened but i can never be happy with them any more, i always suffer from anxiety and always want to just go home. And they were my best friends, and they still consider me they’re best friend. i also lost connection with everyone else including my family and other distant friends, so everything kinda just sucks right now. I’m in grade 10, but i also realized when i just let loose and not care how i act or what i say to any of them, they never give me attitude or nothing they actually just accept it. And its good to know that being yourself isn’t being something nobody would bother caring about, so maybe since shes your best friend try just letting loose like you used to and shell probably like you for the way you are. And if not, well at least you know she cannot be your best friend cause a best friend is only someone who loves you more than anyone else.

My besy friend says he is not comfortable around me. It broke my heart. I don’t understand why he isnt. It feels like I am pointless to him.
