I am at college, and I am starting to realize that I have a big fear of being alone. I am alone a lot and I feel like im going insane. I must be in the presence of someone and I will sacrifice whatever to be in that presence. That means I neglect my school work to hang out with people because I rather not be alone. Im not sure how to combat this.

freshman year me could relate to this the most, that need to be a part of the noise or just anything at all. keep making connections, go out and meet people!! its great, and these are people that will be in your life for a long time if you let them. however, sometimes we have to accept that being alone is a part of life. don't fear being alone; embrace it. do things by yourself and find peace in it, like going to see a movie or shopping!! if we don't, we become naturally codependent. loneliness is a natural feeling, however. but, show yourself you aren't alone by reaching out to friends/family for help when times get tough. give yourself grace, and affirm you are a great person and those people are in your life for a reason. doing this, you can both be alone and not feel alone. we never truly are, there's always people out there who care. best of luck to you <3
