yesh ive been posting threads about friendship and my paranoia (edit: also i became very insecure lately)...
right now i can't sleep because i feel like i have no real close friends to support me
even though i have many...
its just that all of them have someone more dear to them than me
i want to be someone's dearest....
yeah i think im just overthinking and exhaggerating about it...
would this be called something in psychological term?
are there therapies to help this?

I felt the same way as u and then i met the greatest group of guys ever. Ian matt daniel danny and alec. If you friends like and care about you why be sad? If u feel they dont find a group of friends that like you. Give it time i had to wate 7 years to find REAL friends. Also ill be your freind pm if u want to talk i dont judge:yes:
EDIT: Have u started puberty/ The hormone levels could be giving you insecure feelingz

There is good therapy that can help you called cognitive therapy.
You can do it yourself or with a professional.

Cognitive therapy
Cognitive therapy is designed to help you identify and change distorted thought (cognitive) patterns that can lead to feelings and behaviors that are troublesome, self-defeating or self-destructive. It's based on the premise that how you interpret your experiences in life determines the way you feel and behave. If you have depression, for instance, you might see yourself and your experiences in negative ways, which worsens the symptoms of depression. Like behavior therapy, cognitive therapy focuses on your current problem, rather than addressing underlying or past issues or conflicts. Unlike behavior therapy, however, your experiences are an important part of the cognitive therapy process.

Probably not paranoia, maybe a little insecure. But, what it really sounds like is a lot of unhappiness. You need a mega dose of 'specialness' to fill that void.

Try to figure out exactly is making you feel so empty and unhappy, and then come up with a few ways you can feel a bit more satisfied and less lonely. Sure, it might be great to have that very special, all encompasing relationship/friendship, but in lieu of that, what's a bit more realistic that, although it wouldn't feel as superfantastical, might be pretty good. And more easily gotten.

Everyone has these moments. It's just a bit of insecurity, and maybe some anxiety. I wouldn't say you have any real psychological problem, so don't worry about it.

Just find someone you really like and hang out with them. Or ask a girl out, if you want that kind of support - just don't be more sad if you're turned down. People are turned down all the time, remember that.
