Oh man, I never have this problem, but.

SO FLIST. Help a girl out, would you?

What do you do when you want to ask someone the truth, but you're afraid of it?

There's this... person. And we used to talk all the time. And this person would be really sweet too. This person would remember things that were going on in my life and ask me about them and everything, when we got to really talking

If I were you, I'd just ask. If they do tell you it's you, maybe they'll be willing to tell you why, and give you a chance to redeem yourself. Then again, if you haven't changed at all, and they just got tired of you, then they probably weren't worth the trouble in the first place.

I suppose you have a point... but then, how do you go about asking a question like that, you know? "Hey, so I'm paranoid and I was wondering if you kind of hate me now, kthx."

I mean, it's the kind of thing... I want to know, but. Is it really worth the stress and everything of actually asking? I'm not the type of person who ~*NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH,*~ you know?

[aerodactylus]

You just ask. "Hey, we haven't been talking as much lately, and I wondering why. Was it something I did?" Obviously, it's easier said than done, but don't overthink it.

I'd say that, if you took the time to post here asking for advice, then yes, it's definitely worth it to you. You might try to justify not asking to yourself, but I think you really do want to know, which is natural if you value this person's company.

Of course, it's your decision.

[arthoniel]

Haha, yeah, I guess you're right. I mean, normally when it comes to dealing with other people I'm just fine, but once I start to get insecure about something, I get totally paranoid and I overthink everything. It's rare, but it does happen. XD

Man up and just ask, and ask directly, but nicely. Like, "Hey, I noticed we haven't been talking all that much lately. Is everything all right? Did I do something?" And if you did do something, ask about what you can do to fix it.

[arthoniel]

Yeah... *sighs* I know you're right, I just... gah. I want to know, but I don't necessarily want to have the truth laid out before me, you know? Especially if it's bad... ignorance can be bliss, you know? :/

[omgimsuchadork]

Oh, I know. But that you're worried about it means you kinda do.

[arthoniel]

I kinda do, yeah... but I... I don't even. I'll probably end up asking him. But. Gah. I wish life were just simpler sometimes.

[arthoniel]

I care enough to post on here, but that's not saying a ton. And honestly, if the truth is bad, I'm not entirely sure I want to know it. :/
