That sounds like a very stressful way to live.

Change is hard, but not impossible, and you'll probably be happier if you stop hurting people, even if it doesn't seem that way at first.

The cool thing about being insecure is that it's not a permanent state of mind. It sounds impossible, I know, but you can change it.

It's taken me a lot of effort and I'm still working on it to this day, but the less I cared about what other people thought of me, the happier I was! And you don't even need to be rude or dismissive or anything.

Put yourself and your well-being as a priority. That's not being selfish.

Good friends will come to you if you let them, you don't have to seek them out and hoard them. Remember that like attracts like and such, so if you want to have good, loyal friends, you need to be a good, loyal person. Not obsessive, not hounding, not controlling, not martyred; just be there for them if they need you. That doesn't mean enabling bad behavior or being an accomplice, just listening to them and helping them if you can. People will stop escaping you that way and there won't be a need to be jealous.

Learn to be more comfortable with yourself. Stop fearing loneliness; just embrace those moments of peace and quiet as a respite to reorganize your thoughts and find activities for yourself, so that you can better enjoy moments with other people.

TL;DR: Being Good Feels Good. Come back to the light side, it's awesome! Changing takes years of effort, but it is so, so worth it, you have no idea.
