I'm at a Crossroads

So lately my mom and I have been getting into these fights (nothing new) but she keeps telling me that I have this attitude. Like I'm negative towards everything; my family, work, and church. Her exact words were "You used to be so sweet and kind." Honestly I don't understand what she's talking about....like seriously she keeps telling me everyone in my family inculding my grandmother have noticed it. And then she tells me even people at work have. Now I'm all paranoid that people are talking behind my back at work. I want to know who she's talking about but she wouldn't tell me. I worry too much about what other people think and it's a problem and she knows that...I just don't understand... I feel like I'm going to be trapped in this house, in this little town forever. I'm scared to move out and live on my own because honestly I don't want to be alone...Even getting an apartment or whatever with a friend sounds great but when I'm home alone, thinking about it, it seriously terrifies me. I don't understand why. My mom says I should cut ties with those supposed friends that caused me a lot of grief (and still are) last year. I juts don't know how to stop being friends with someone...like I've known those friends for over half my life and I just don't know if I can let go so easily... I probably need to because they cause me a lot of issues no matter if they talk to me or not... *sigh* I seriously think I need to get back into meditation...I feel like I've lost my center and I'm just sort of stumbling through life now... Like seriously I don't get excited about things like I used to... I feel sort of depressed and dull anymore...I mean when I hang out with my friends it's not like that...but that only last for a day...by the time I come back home I feel drained and dull again. Something's missing...I've lost something amidst everything last year...I don't know what...and I don't know how to get it back...but I guess I'm going to have to try and figure it out because if I don't I'm afraid I'm going to run everyone off with the negativity that my mom apperantly sees in me.

my baby jello <3 :( Dont be sad. Be strong. :(( Dont be scared of having to be alone and dont worry over what people who doesnt matter say. It's okay. People say things thats what they do.. what we got to do is let the world be and try not to change it. Okay <3 baby if you can change anybody its you. be strong.

Being there, but i guess i'm a btter actress. Move on your own. To feel alone with many people around you is worse; better be alone at home for real.
It will help you to stan on your own and get by with everythibg on your own too since there wont be anyone to notice thigs fir you. You can have more freedome too. You can shout at yout walls if you're mad or dance and sing to your hearts content if you feel happy, and there wont be anyone judging you or thinking you've gone nuts.
Those that have caused you troubles, cut ties with them; but make it clear to them why. Even if they're wrong maybe they're not aware and if you just stop talking to them, it would be confusing for them; so make it clear why.
Iknow it's scary, i've told you i've been there, but no one will live your life but you; so it's all on you to stay still or move on.
You'll be fine; it will ve hard, but no one said life was easy. In time you'll realize it was for the best. Remember that it takes a step to start a journey.
