The fear a friend secretly hates you is usually less about them, and more about old patterns of self-doubt, says psychotherapist Meg Josephson

A friend recently shared a post from the satirical site Reductress. It depicted a woman, arms held triumphantly aloft, beneath the headline: “She Did It! This Woman Was Able To Confirm That Everyone Was Not Mad At Her!”
