THE FEAR OF BEING LEFT OUT

I always do my best to please people, even when I don’t want to, just so they don’t leave me. I wasn’t like this before. I used to be bold, confident in everything I did. But what changed?  As I grow older, I find myself wondering: Do I mean as much to them as they mean to me?  Am I someone worth holding on to, worth fighting for? Or will they walk away the moment I stop pleasing them? Will I simply fade from their memory? I still haven’t found the answers. Why is adulting so hard? Why does it feel like losing pieces of the person I used to be? I hate the way I’ve changed. I live every day with anxiety and fear, fighting so hard just to survive in a world where it feels like I could be easily replaced.
