Hello @chasmat,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I can understand how concerning it can be when your friends are receiving money requests from you that you did not send. Is it possible someone else in your household has sent these by accident? If not, it may be possible your account has been experienced some kind of unauthorized login activity. In that case, I'd recommend reporting any unauthorized through our Resolution Center and then updating your password and security questions. You may also want to review your account activity for any other unrecognized activity.
My apologies for any inconvenience this may present,
- Jon K
