I think I'm going through a mid-life crisis. [That is, if I only expect to live `till thirty.] I'm a 15 year old female and it feels like I haven't completly found my place of belonging. I know I'm not the only one who's experiencing these emotions, but I'd rather rid myself of these feelings as soon as I can. I've acknowledged the problem as pushing the ones I wish to get close to away and I'm not sure why I do this. I've led a pretty sheltered life, so it doesn't lead to my past. I think it's because people tend to move on and I fear being replaced. I open up more so than others, but I just shy away from what I need most. How can I allow myself to accept the love of my surrondings?

I pushed away my boyfriend at times and all my friends. It seemed like all I wanted to do was sit in my room with sad songs blasting through the speakers. All you need to do is think of the good things that have happened to you. Also think of how lucky you are for having good things and how fortunate you are compared to some people. I had lots of therapy and was able to get past it. You need to find something that makes you happy. Slowly things will change but I can assure you it's just the age since lots of my 15 year old friends can agree with me and say they've definitely experienced it too! :) [ alliekat's advice column | Ask alliekat A Question ]
