`e and hating me no matter what. This went on for the rest of my 8th year and now I am in 9th grade. I’ve slowly come out of my shell and started talking to some of my classmates. One said that I have changed and that makes me happy. But my social anxiety hasn’t fully disappeared yet. I am still scared of talking to people and I fear that I may be alone again. I only have little friends so I tend to cling to them. I’m afraid that I may be too clingy to them and they’ll leave me so I’m trying to give them space. Now, I feel like my friends are drifting away from me and I have no one to talk to anymore but I’m hopeful that whatever happens, I’ll always know that I tried my best to become good.
