Unfortunately, it's entirely human to think thing way. Worry is usually a sign of self-awareness.

I've been down this road before.

It's always dangerous... Soon things in your head get out of hand

Wow, this really hit home for me. Thank you for sharing this.

There is solution to that ... stop worrying bout it ...
I don't at least and I've been pretty happy so far.
If someone doesn't like you .. well screw 'em and move on.

And while we're at it, stop being sad at random. Just ignore it.
If you're smoking, just drop it. So very simple.

Dood, it isn't that simple to turn off those kinds of feelings. Loneliness isn't fought off by just letting it go. A lot of people get damaged from things in the past, and like a nice scar on the cheek, you can't just look at yourself and it's suddenly gone. It takes a lot of time. For some, they don't get over it, because people around them may lack empathy.

It's also possible to take your advice too far, and end up in a cycle of apathy. When does one stop saying 'screw them' and realize that you've written everything and everyone off and now you're all alone? Then you get back to where this starts.

It's nice that that approach works for you, but, it's kinda cold and cruel to people who go through this commonly. And cold/cruel methods never help anyone.

Oh god this is too relatable :'(
Mind if I give a hug?

feels nice work :give you a hug:

I feel ya

Just felt this way last night. It sucks.

:C

I used to feel the same way anytime I was alone with myself.
Eventually I learned to ignore it and accept it. I listened to music or read some story just to shut up that inner voice.
I know at least 2 persons that show they care about me. I try to do the same, even though I suck at showing caring, or always think that I bother them. It still doesn't feel natural trying to be close but I also try to ignore those thoughts.
You're allowed to feel that way, but please don't let it overcome you.

this is is me every day. i try not to do it but i cant help it

I try not to think too much about stuff cause I know if I do then this will usually happen. Also your making it very hard to not hug you and comfort you.

I literally broke down into tears when I saw this comic posted because of how many times I have been in that exact same position.

While it's obviously one of the worst things to deal with, it's... comforting to know that I'm not alone with these kinds of thoughts and feelings.

Mmmm damn this three pages really reflect many of my own situation sometimes I isolate myself from friends when I think I am annoying them and my shyness is criminally vulgar

A Good Imagination can be great it gives you the most beautiful dreams and fantasies but sometimes it turns against you and bring you nightmares and horrible thoughts of the worst kind

yeah brain likes to do that from time time...

I've been there

I feel ya

I feel this so much..and I don't know why..I want it to stop.with everything..

Well, that hits close to home. Although I do think people likely think about you more than you think of them because you are one fine piece of bread.

This hits close to home
:/

That feeling can appear at anytime of the day...

all you need is bear hug forever

I am going through this. I know what its like its a unbearable feeling. I have cried myself to sleep thinking about a person I have feelings for, thinking that I am a waste of time to them, a waste of energy.

In the end always ending up alone because you think that you can't be loved. I know this...I truly know this.

Had a bit of a revelation regarding this sort of thing a few days ago.

I was supposed to meet to hang out with some friends for some pre-D&D board games, but when I got there, my GM and his fiancee weren't there... they had gone to ride bikes, apparently. It was just me and one other friend. Board games were out, clearly.

So, sitting in his kitchen, lacking something to do, and not knowing what to say or talk about, awkward silence ensued. I made a few attempts at conversation that never really went anywhere.

Don't get me wrong- I get along fine with him. But sometimes I feel like I need some kind of activity to really feel comfortable with people, and robbed of this, I didn't know what to do.

So I got out my phone and played a game on it... still felt hella awkward though.

Eventually my friend suggested he go out and get some stuff for D&D (3x5 cards for writing notes on, junk like that) and that I was welcome to come along if I wanted, or I could stay there. I decided to come with.

I have frequent thoughts that I'm a charity case for my friends, and not from anything they do, but I have similar thoughts about not wanting to burden them with my presence. On the trip, at one point he told me "I enjoy spending time with you."

It was kind of out of the blue, (and not romantic in any fashion, I should add) and it was something I think I really needed to hear- He liked me. He liked having me around. In spite of the awkward moment. I wasn't a charity case- I was his friend.

It kind of put the awkward moment earlier into a different perspective.

In that moment in the kitchen I was sitting there hoping my GM would arrive back from his ride to rescue us. Rescue the two of us from what I assumed was the burden of my own company. My forays into conversation weren't really genuine - they were manufactured to fill the space, not because I really cared about any of the topics. That's why they fell flat. I wasn't being genuine.

So since then I have been endeavoring to work from the assumption that my friends actually do like having me around and I think it's helped me open up more with them.

*gives you a big fluffy bear hug*
