While you are in a situation that is detrimental to your mental well-being, most of the time you don’t realize that it is damaging. Something that I struggled with the past couple of years was finding friends who truly cared about me. When I would feel anxious to say almost anything, feel like they didn’t like me or simply didn’t care about me, I always assumed it was me. I assumed that I was naturally anxious, so being paranoid about my friendships most of the time was normal.
