How do you stop becoming emotionally invested too quickly?

Need some advice.

I recently spent a week with my best friend and we had an amazing time. Since coming back, I’ve been overthinking our friendship a lot. She doesn’t reply much on WhatsApp, but she still sends me reels and messages on Instagram. She was also planning to come over, but now has another trip and college commitments.

The bigger issue is that I tend to get very emotionally invested in people I care about. When communication changes even a little, I start wondering if I did something wrong, even when there’s no real reason to think that.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you stop overthinking friendships and becoming too emotionally attached?

So I’ve liked this girl for almost a year, and I was planning to confess to her today because it was my last day in college, but she didn’t come.

She’s my junior, and honestly she was also one of the reasons I figured out that I’m bisexual, so this whole thing feels really important to me.

The problem is that whenever she talks to me, I get nervous and awkward, so I probably come across as quiet or uninterested even though I really like her.

Now I’m wondering if I should just text her on Instagram, but I don’t know if that’s a good idea or what I should even say.
