Hello everyone. I need some wisdom and guidance on how to deal with my fear of losing my best friend. My close friend and I know each other for more than a year now. I still don’t know really why we became such great friends. When I first met her, her constant chatting drove me nuts. But I made an effort to befriend her thinking, at the time, that this will only lead to a work only friendship. Yet, after a few times seeing her, I started to feel weird about it. As if, we knew each for a long time. Even she commented on it. A couple of days ago, she even said that she told someone that I am her best friend. We have a lot of things in common except for religious and political differences. Now that we are close friends, I have been struggling with the fear that she will lose interest in our friendship. I did tell her my fear and she told me that friends leave her, she won’t leave them. While that was really reassuring, my fear while lessened is still there. How do I stop worrying?

Thanks,

Thomas
