idk who need to heat this but

ask for reassurance when you need it. it's completely okay and you're not a burden for having different needs. i always tried to hide my fear of abandonment from people, especially if they were just my friends, because i didn't want to be overwhelming and weird. but a honest, non-intrusive message can make all the difference. i just cried at the response i got from my best friend and i literally feel the gut wrenching tension leave my body. it's okay to have needs and it's okay to take up your space 🫶
