How do I forgive myself for being really needy to a friend?

[Anonymous]

I lost everything in my life in 2022 and it’s taking me time to rebuild. I had a friend I would call and talk to and she was supportive but now I think I drove her away because I had so much drama at the time. :/ how do I stop feeling embarrassed, especially since now I am working through those things?

first i would apologize to her and tell her why you did those things. you probably didn't have anyone else to turn to. after that, i think a therapist could help you more than a friend. but you said you're working through those things, which is great. so keep doing that!

Sounds like you really needed someone to be there for you. I feel like you did nothing wrong you just needed a friend at that time.

You shouldn't feel bad about it.

Focus on forgiving yourself, and make sure you don't do this in the future with other friends.
