Friendship anxiety isn't an official condition, but a recent internet term. Is describes feeling anxious even with your close friends. It's linked to low self esteem and attachment styles.

We can manage it by noticing mindfully what our thought out telling us, but offering compassion to the part that's anxious. Eventually we can start to feel safe with friends and have better friendships. I know because I've overcome it myself.

Lovely feedback from client

“My therapy sessions with Rebecca have truly been transformative. I was nervous to start the sessions and talk so openly about everything happening in my mind, but from the first session with Rebecca I felt a genuine sense of safety and understanding. It has helped me understand and deal with the critical thoughts and anxiety that often overwhelmed me. The tools and strategies I have learned through this journey have allowed me to develop healthy coping strategies for every day life. Therapy has left me feeling more in control and equipped to handle life’s challenges. I wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca to anyone struggling with similar issues.”
