why am I jealous?

I’m scared of being ignored.

I hate the feeling of being that one off person who stands there silently while the others have a great time.

It’s happened too many times in the past.

Now, on tumblr, I’m feeling it again.

The blogs I follow, I consider them friends, but I get this bile taste in my throat whenever they rp or talk to other people and not me.

not saying they can’t have more than one friend, it’s that they interact with them a lot more than with me. And that makes me feel like they push me to the side, like we aren’t really friends.

I’m too afraid to tell these blogs personally about this, but I hope putting this out here will be a bit easier.

My anxiety is awful and I just hate to be the jealous type.

“In general, I hate it when my friends are dating. Because I feel excluded, and the original form of pals and fun are broken into more time to show affection and forget the other person is still there. I’ve experienced the third wheel issue too many times and it makes me anxious and paranoid- I think that they will forget me, leave me behind, or just…walk off.”

I really need to get this off my chest so here we go:

It’s hard running an ask blog of a popular show because there’s always people who are more popular, have better art style, and are just overall talented. I don’t want to stab myself (figuratively) by thinking I’m no good, I’m an awful artist, etc but it’s so hard to feel happy about my own blog when I keep seeing other blogs being so much of a success. And the fact that I don’t get many questions..I feel as if I’m just that random person who people tip just to make me stop whining. Again, this is just stuff I want to get off my chest. I’m not insulting anyone, mistrusting anyone, or hating on anyone.

Someone with a social anxiety disorder will never get tired of hearing you say:

“I’m here for/with you”
“I like you”
“I love you”
“I value you as a person”
“Your opinions matter to me”
“I’ll go with you if it’s too scary”
“No matter what your anxiety tells you I’m not going anywhere”
“Your feelings are valid”

Even if you’ve already said it. Say it again. And again. Please.
Cause it may seem silly to someone without S.A.D., but it’s actually really reassuring to be reminded of having support even if we were just reminded last week, or last month, or yesterday. It’s important. Really important. Cause the anxiety will often lead us to feel alone, unloved, like the person might go away if we share our feelings, even when we know it’s not true. It’s a million times easier to be convinced by someone else than by our own anxious brains sometimes.

This has been a PSA.

Also don’t get annoyed when they need the reinsurance. They do believe you but their mind tricks them that what you said isn’t true when they truly know it is, they just can’t control it.
