writes:Well first of all I should let you know I have depression issues, social anxiety and am soo paranoid and self conscious. I have this close friend who is funny enough, exactly like me in these areas, but the thing is she has a family of a mum, dad and two other sisters. I have only a dad and a brother. She can confide and talk to her mum and sisters anytime, but apart from her, I have no one to talk to a lot of times. Basically we were supposed to hang out today but she called and had to cancel because one of her sisters was taking her out for lunch, and this is not the first time something like this has happened. No, I am not angry with her or anything, I understand family is important, but it's just that I feel she prefers her sister to me, and I keep thinking no matter how close we get she will be more open to her sister and I don't have a sister so it just makes me sad and feel a bit unimportant sometimes. I know it's wrong being jealous and stuff but I can't help it, how do I accept the fact that a sister and a really close (practically best) friend are two different things? :(I don't know if it makes sense and I'm sorry it's so long, but I just had to let it out, please I really need help and there is literally no one else to talk to :'(

well i had depression and anxiety and i always worried about whether people liked me or if they liked someone else better than me - i'm in my 30's now and couldnt give a hoot so it will pass eventually, firstly brothers are rubbish but you'll become closer as you get older.. i never had a sister but always wanted one there is definately a huge connection there much more than friends so i think family always will come first.. its not that she is better just that she is family, this is something you have to accept its not personal it is that way it is, perhaps she has to go out with her sister because she is family and its easier to let you down, could you not ask to go along next time or even say that you were sad you couldnt go out... its not nice to be let down but dont let yourself be in that situation again, you have one life dont waste it, do more things get more hobbies open up more to other people have lots of choices of things to do.. dont have it that this girl is your only social life xx
