My 15 year old daughter is shy always has been and struggled to find friends, she had two friends she would see every now and then and still does from time to time but they prefer each other’s company and rarely invite my daughter over. For the past 6 months she formed a friendship with a more popular girl who bought my daughter out of shell to a degree and she idolises her. In the last 6 months she’s been invited to parties, and nights out and she knows this is only by association to this friend but had started to grow in confidence. My daughter suffers with extreme anxiety and has no self worth, always building others up but never herself. In the last few weeks her friend has distanced herself and is going out without her and never inviting her along, this has led to major tears and anger and real desperation that she is going to be alone again. She has very little motivation for anything now and thinks everyone will leave her and she’s worthless. If I’m honest I think she drives people away because she’s too demanding of their friendship because she puts in 110% she expects that too but she will not take advice from anyone so what started as finally making friends and finding herself has now done a big u turn and she’s once again alone and even in a more anxious state than ever.
