  1. I think why I'm so terrified of having a frenemy and breaking a friendship now is because of a horrible and sort of tragic experience in the past. Before, I was very immature, on the defense but stern and was able to cut friends off easily without any consequences. But in the 11th grade I did the same, and the friend I broke off with made my life filled with anxiety because I left her off in a very immature way, I just stopped talking to her one day after a huge fight. I realize now that it wasn't the right way to deal with it but too little too late. She was an extrovert and would make friends with people just to spite me and speak negatively of me, it really got into my head and gave me alot of anxiety. Idk it was difficult. And then around december 2020, I had another incident that changed my life but that was online and somehow I was able to cope. I can't cope in real life with a conflict because of how I was brought up in my family (I had an extremely traumatic childhood that has a great affect over me) and knowing that there are people that genuinely don't like me at all or even hate me, causes me even more anxiety because who knows what they're gonna be talking about me or thinking about me. It's just something I would not like to feel, but I am trying to draw some boundaries for myself and I'm trying to figure out how to break up with a friend that gives me no positive emotions anymore. I want to handle it maturely and with class and I want to rely on myself enough not to be anxious about it.
