I don't really know how to help, but I think trying to apologize to Squidward and talk to him would be a good start. Maybe you can talk to Dee too. Sorry, I know I usually offer much more advice, but that's really all I got :( good luck Starli! And break a leg at your play.

Maybe it would be best to talk it out with a professional -- whether that be a school therapist, or an outside psychologist, if you need to. 

Not that I don't care, it just might be helpful to talk with someone who's more experienced and can give you more precise help. I definitely understand that feeling of being a bother or clingy and not knowing how to deal with that on your own, since your friend(s) seem tired of it. I've honestly been struggling with that too for a long time, and am actually only getting help for it officially tomorrow because of something my parents discovered. It might be a good idea to give your friend(s) some room to breathe if you feel like you've been to clingy, but that doesn't mean you should avoid them. If they're upset, it's a good idea to apologise and lay low in terms of how much you interact with them in ways they seem to find tiring. 

I know it's kind of counter to what I just said, but perhaps dialing back your apologies would help too. That guilt can really build up and crush you into a much worse place very quickly. Don't apologise for every little thing, but only the bit things that seem to bother your friends, and even then, don't blame yourself. Instead of thinking/saying 'I'm sorry... It's all my fault,' think 'I'm sorry, I'll make this change so it doesn't happen again.' Not to accuse you of anything, but don't wallow in self-pity, and instead figure out how to change the situation, even if only in small ways.

Hope this helps a little, and good luck with everything, friend! :) 

What's a "partner"? Just curious.

For the cats, I LUV cats (Just look at my name, LOL), and if you're not sure, studies show that pettin' cats actually REDUCES your stress levels. Just go pet a cat! You'll feel better!

Maybe go outside, enjoy the spring weather! Take a walk! Enjoy the sounds of nature! Draw a picture! Play your fave video game! Watch a cute video of kittens or puppies, or whatever your fave animal is! Send someone a text! Play with your cats! Do things that make you happy! You'll feel better!

Did they at least deserve the smacking?
