Conflict has aways been a scary thing for me. I've always been an anxious person, constantly overthinking things to the point of feeling depressed and sad. I create situations in my head before they've even happened and I get so paranoid that I convince myself somebody is angry at me when in reality, they usually aren't. The minute my friend doesn't sound 100% cheerful or interested when speaking to me I immediately jump to conclusions and think that it's something to do with me, or something I've done. I am obsessed (my life pretty much revolves around it) with making sure we remain on good terms because every time we have been in a fight, it's usually her who has started it and honestly, it has really traumatised me. I am an incredibly sensitive person, so it takes me a while to get over things that others can forget about quickly and easily. I feel sick when I think about those times we were fighting, or the possibility of another one arising. I have to get over this because I know conflict is a part of life, but it's really hard for me to stop overthinking or caring. I need a way to stop thinking people are always mad at me, it makes me feel so scared and vulnerable. Does anybody else have this? Or have any tips?
