I found that the results were a lot like me, but I hate those points about me. I don't like the fact that I tend to dpend on other people even though I can probably support myself by myself.

I don't express it a lot since I dont like people to think I'm weak, but I always have nightmares of my friends leaving me because of something I did or will do. I usually end up throwing up and crying from those kind of dreams, but I end up with smiling whenever I have company so they don't know about my issues.

Technically I never had these problems before, but I started to have them when I made really close friends. Normally I'm active, but I don't consider many people as friends. I don't really trust many people, but when I do become friends with some really nice people I started to fear losing them.

Do you guys have any tips I could use to get rid of these fears and nightmares?

Hello Maxxliee, I wanted to drop you a line as it’s so quiet on here still.. This is a pretty new site isn’t it? I’m sure the numbers will build rapidly though, but I didn’t like to leave you without a reply of any sort at all.. So firstly, “hello” lol.
Know what you mean about knowing you could probably support yourself by yourself.. I’m a lot like that too.. This condition doesn’t seem to be very well known, and there seems little advice for us. All I can say for now are these things (till I’ve worked more out), try to have a number of different friends so that you’re not relying on one in particular one. That makes it feel a lot less intense. You might have to deliberately “ration” your time with some people - but you’ll not tell them that of course.. The other thing is to consider doing some work on assertion - see if there’s a class locally (best option), or failing that, a book to guide you on techniques and approaches.. Hope we can talk again.

Hello there!
Here's some suggestions although your fears differ a little from mine. Whenever you are afraid of them leaving you, think of the good things they have done for you, and try to convince yourself that there's no reason why they would leave! If they did, they aren't worthy to be your friend!

As for nightmares, think less of the problems that cause or inspire this dreams. Thinking lesser about them helps ALOT, trust me.
