Apology to My friends

I know my need for reassurance can come across as needy and I feel the need to apologize for it. But I want my friends to know that this isn’t something I can control yet, and I hate this about myself too. I, better than anyone, know how incredibly annoying an overactive mind is. I live with it, and, believe me, I wish I’d found the “off” button already. Above all, I want my friends to know that having them by my side is the most beautiful gift that a person like me, a person with anxiety, could ask for. To the friends who stay when I don’t even love myself, thank you
