I don't know where to start this, but I badly need help. I don't want to be a burden to my friends. Every time they don't give me attention, I feel like they hate me and don't want to talk to me. I really feel like an attention-whore for this, but I really am not. There are also instances when I feel like one of my friends is mad at me. I won't talk to her, fearing that she's really mad at me, and I really hate myself for this because it makes them wonder what happened when, in fact, it's my fault. When things like these happen, I feel like I am empty, like there's a void inside me, making me stop talking to them. It hurts because I want it to stop, but I can't. Please help me. I badly need your help.
