    Hi
    im a registered user but Im going to go unregistered for obvious reasons.Well Im in 6th year and am affraid that my friends dont like me.I am a nice guy,i think :) i have certain problems which make me act strange sometimes.It is these problems that make me depressed.I just fear that no one likes me.I have no justified reason to feel this way.My friends are always looking out for me.Earlier I got a text from one friend asking if i was going out on wednesday,I replied back and never got a response.I got really paranoid.My friend invited me to the cinema the other day and to town.I can act like a bit of an ass when drunk so it could just be that they dont like me when im drunk.The problem is that I feel that they dont like me because Im too needy but Im need because I fear that they dont like me.Im moving to Galway next year so hopefuly things will get better.Is it usual for people to stop drinking until the leaving cert at this stage.Sorry I know my problem is very trivial compared to others.I just need advice.
    Thanks

    I felt like that a lot at your age - flashes of paranoia that my friends were really faking it and weren't my friends. All unfounded. People can certainly get sick of different friends for brief periods, but it's generally not a long term thing - as the saying goes - To make a friend, close one eye. To keep a friend, close both eyes.

    I think it's common when your younger, especially if you have low-self esteem, a voice in the back of your head keeps telling saying "I suck so much, no one would really want to be my friend - they must be faking it."

    PS A lot of people act like asses when drunk, are you above and beyond normal levels of assness (ie you break things, get arrested, get taken to the hospital, insult your friends, need to be babysat, get in fights)? Or do just do standard stupid **** and your paranoia is exaggerating it? If it's really a problem - drink less.

    in 6th year most everyone was someone I never knew before, so I never really took to heart at the end of the day what they thought. If you go around life always worried about what everyone is thinking of you you're going to have a sh!tty life anyway. When you stop caring and do what you want to do, thats when your friends show themselves, tbh.
