I have OCD as well as anxiety and lately I have been obsessing a lot over friendships. I have a couple "good" friends, not too many that I am particularly close to, though. I'm just really not the type of person who is comfortable in very close relationships, save family of course.
But lately I have been obsessing about my friends. I'm constantly worried I've done something to make them upset with me, or that they are irrationally mad at me for something and that I will loose them as friends. I get really nervous when someone doesn't respond to a text I send or if they seem to shy away from me at work for a day or something of that nature.
There's one friend in particular I seem to obsess over more than the others. Again, we aren't all that close, and it's not like I want her as a best friends or something. But she has this personality where she's not very forthcoming or chatty. She'll be nice to me and we'll talk at work, and then some days I can just tell she's having a stressful day and she tends to withdraw from me more. The thing is, I seem to have become a little obsessed with interacting with her and feeling like she likes me as friend.
Anyone else with OCD have trouble with friendships or obsessing about how people feel about you?
