Struggling to Open Up About Anxiety with Friends

I wish I can be more open with my close friends about my anxiety. But I can’t because even if I try they don’t understand because of course we don’t have the same life. But I just wish if I told people they don’t always have to think it’s for attention or they don’t care cause that just puts my anxiety more up than it already is. I struggle enough just to try and open up with someone.

Yeah a lot of the time people just don’t get it and don’t make an effort to learn how it feels, I’ve noticed even I do that with other people anxiety if I don’t have anxiety about the same topic but I try my best to understand from my own experiences

I understand what you mean, people put it off as a way to get attention. It can be very frustrating to not be able to talk to people about your feelings. I’m sorry you feel this way ❤️ please reach out if you need anything/to talk
