You probably think the title refers to the fact that I'm headed off to college this fall, right? Nope. I wish. I will be staying exactly where I am now for God knows how long. Everybody else is moving away from me.
I hate the fact that I'm one of those kids who needs to be constantly surrounded by familiar faces. One of my biggest fears is being left behind, and that's exactly what's happening to me. Autophobia, that's what it's called.
I think it started in that dreaded time of misunderstanding and terror called middle school. It got even worse when one of my best friends transferred after our freshman year. Then, one of my best friends moved to Mexico. Then, my friends stopped including me in things. Now, the person I consider my closest friend is moving to Chicago, and all of the rest of my classmates are moving into their perspective colleges. And I'm alone.
Wow, I sound totally messed up about this, don't I? I suppose I am. But that's okay, I'll get over it and move on with my life. I always do.
What are some of your phobias?
