The concept of telepathy as a healing mechanism is often associated with alternative or spiritual practices. In such beliefs, the idea is that a telepathic connection can facilitate emotional and spiritual healing by allowing individuals to share and receive positive energies, thoughts, or intentions. It is often seen as a form of non-verbal, energetic communication that transcends conventional means.

The fact that you fear not being enough, not being able to get what you want, not feeling able to get where you want, that you feel so insecure about yourself is probably not just related with your childhood but also with past friendships or any other type of relationship that didn't end well or in which you weren't treated correctly. You were probably left out from group activities and jokes or not invited to places; you were made to believe you were very important but at the same time you were kept hidden and later you were left alone and forgotten as something of not great value; you were probably easily judged as uninterested because of your decisions or behaviours without asking for further reasons...
I know all these experiences (and many more than these ofc) hit you deep and now are rooted inside of you as a confirmation of your unworthiness and unlovability but it was not your fault. Or at least not just because of your decisions or behaviour (of which not everyone has the empathy to understand or even guess/imagine the reasons, if you don't talk about it): in relationships there are always at least two people involved. And when one of them moves away or leaves you out of their life without asking for or giving an explanation, it's a relationship that is already crumbling (and it's best if it ended this way, even if it pains you because you felt guilty about it). When there's not communication nor interest in the other and in their feelings, despite how strong and indipendent they may look, despite how far they may have moved, a relationship is already ended.
It's not about your worth or lovability, which you possess just because you're alive. It's just about people's decisions, it's about lives taking different turns, it's about the fact that some relationships just need to end or evolve into something different that is not a deep friendship anymore (if you both agree ofc). It's about people growing and changing, and following their own path.
Keep going on onto yours so to find new friends and even lovers if you want (cause you will anyway: life is made of cycles, as you had friends in the past, you'll have friends in the future; as you didn't have good friends in the past you will have good friends in the future. It's all about you, you can change your life at any given minute. Take your time to understand your emotions and process them but then let the past go, heal and move on to something new -and even better, seen how you were treated).
mistystar is one of those characters that makes me a little crazy because since she's never really been a main character (aside from her novella) but she is like, a consistently important supporting character and has been in SO many books her whole deal is very... patchworked together. like, her mate being blackclaw. never mentioned or confirmed in text really until leopardstar's honor. in forest of secrets he happens upon firestar and graystripe with mistyfoot's kits, but he shows no concern for the kits, even though they're his. he's also extremely aggressive and xenophobic, especially to mistystar after discovering her heritage, working with hawkfrost to sabotage her position as deputy? from a writing perspective this is because canonically he wasn't her mate when those books were written, but from an in-universe standpoint this kinda implies they split up over her being half clan, and he all but abandoned his kids as well. mistystar outlives all four of her children, three of which don't even make it to adulthood and die offscreen, their causes of death not even explored. did she make reedwhisker her deputy because she became protective of him after losing all 3 of his siblings and wanted to keep him close? does all four of her kits dying tragic deaths, none of them living comfortably to old age upset her? also, her opposition to and trepidation towards code changes on forbidden romance? considering her past and her mate's treatment of her, it's reasonable to assume she has a lot of internalized hatred for her own origins, and wants to side with the more conservative cats to gain their approval. (though its not off the table that the writers just forgot who her parents are since shes been around so long)
