Or in a different way, that though this person may think I will be a good friend, I am not going to be able to match up to their energy and positivity.</P> <P>Thanks x</P> Mon, 04 Feb 2019 11:21:50 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/young-people/feelings-of-inadequacy/m-p/421869#M18668 Guest_000 2019-02-04T11:21:50Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/young-people/feelings-of-inadequacy/m-p/421871#M18670 <P>Hi Geoff,</P> <P>What I mean by the feeling of 'I will hurt them', is that I feel I will not be a good enough friend and hurt their feelings.
