Have you ever had that feeling that all your friends don't actually like you? That every time they see you they inwardly sigh and put on a fake smile. That they laugh at your jokes only because they feel obligated to. That they only hang out with you because they know if they didn't no one else would. That they think you're so annoying and every time you talk they want to tape over your mouth. They hate you. You know they hate you no matter what they tell you. And all you hear in your head is just "They hate you, and you know it," over and over again. And you used to deny it but now you don't because you're starting to believe it's true. Some of my "friends" don't even call me Patrick, they still call me Ari. And refer to me as she and her. And every time they do that it's like a spear to the heart.

I know some of my friends read this so I have to ask; do you actually like me? You need to be 100% honest. I don't care if you say no. Just tell me the truth.
