I guess I'm here for advise as well as prayer....

There's sometimes... I wonder if the people that I talk with really want me around, or if they're just trying to be nice. It seems that the more a person means to me, the more I wonder this regarding him/her. I've asked a few people, and they say that being around me/talking to me doesn't annoy/bug them... but I just never know for sure if they're trying to be nice...

I want everyone to pray for me, that I will find the answers I need. And any input/similar stories/anything else... would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!

I used to think that alot as well. There were soooo many times I wished that I could just read people's minds
I don't really know what changed me and why I stopped thinking such thoughts; but I'm willing to bet it had something to do with God Afterall, He told us to not seek the approval of men but of Him. Basically, the only thing I can offer for way of 'advice' is just to commit your feelings to God. Tell Him how you feel about your friends and your worries, and ask Him to turn your focus away from what they think about you to what HE thinks about you. I'll be praying for you matie

I think that these thoughts are pretty normal. I wouldn't consider them to be something to be dwelt on, though. If you have a good group of friends, such worries aren't necessary. Follow Talame's advice, God's a friend that will never leave you nor forsake you. He's such a good friend that He'll guide you to the right people, and even if the people you know fail you, He never will! I'll be praying that you'd be guided to the right people and that these relationships would be strengthened. I'll also pray that you'd get in that Holiest Place where God is, that you'd be close with Him all the time.

I know *exactly* what you mean, Yokuo.

It's an awful feeling! Seems like the people who I want to like or respect me, with them, I'm unsure if they ever really do or not.

I'll say prayers for you and me both, buddy.

Thanks for the prayers guys. Last night, maybe an hour after I posted this thread, one of my friends, who I wondered this about, sent me something in an email, so that really helped.

Amen

gosh...i'm no different. I feel it too. Sometimes, i think that my friends are just going with me because of my sake. I always thought that it's tiring for them.
Do listen to God. He knows your heart. Ask for his assistance. I pray that you'll be someday confident of your friends' trust.

I'll pray for you on this as well.
