Losing my friend

I believe Everything happens for a reason. If i lose a friend it was meant to happen.

I was masking with her a lot, trying to overcome my anxiety about unexpected situations. But she thrives on unexpected situations and seeks them out, even dangerous ones. I am too stressed to try to fit in with her any longer. I hope she has a good life whatever she does. But i don't feel safe with her any longer. I cant be myself with her. And she does not see my efforts of trying to fit in with her. Maybe she does not know me and accept me as myself. I am not sure of that. I never told her about my autism, but about my anxiety and depression.

I don't have any friends left if she stops talking to me. And it scares me a little, but maybe this is for the best. I was sometimes nervous and on edge when i was with her.

From now on i will try to find like minded friends. I am hoping to come across introverted people who are more like me. And if i cannot find them, be happy and feel safe in my own skin. That is my biggest wish

I hope you don't lose your friend. I always feel that being around others helps one to detach a bit from ones inner thoughts, especially if you have anxiety and depression.
 
I agree. I would not want to lose her completely too, she is a nice person but she is someone who is a risk taker and does not understand my boundaries and anxiety. She outright said she does not understand me, and it hurt me. I would prefer not to speak to her for a while
