Literally have NO friends in high school....?? :(?
im a senior and since my freshman year ive literally had 0 friends because im extremely quiet and shy. i had alot of friends in 8th but when i started high school they've noticed I got really shy and quiet and they stopped talking to me or like treating me differently. Like, 1 of the girls I used to be friends with Marie, we were really good friends. Always hung out, txted me and stuff. When I entered high school she was in my math class and always was like why are you so quiet now? Be fun, your SO boring. Her best friend was in my math class and always sat there like making fun of me cuz im so quiet. I asked Marie if she liked me and she was like "ehh, idk. she thinks you would be boring and wreck everything if you hung out with us because your so quiet so she doesnt ask you or talk to you." That really hurt me. Anyways, when I have lunch I walk around school alone because I have nobody to sit with at lunch and I dont wanna sit there alone looking like a loner. I would ask my guidance counselor to switch it to a study hall but she is a bi*** and always kicks kids out of her office so I dont even wanna bother. I am very depressed and I hate walking around every day for 45 minutes. Since I am a senior, all these class events and end of the year trip is comming up and I dont wanna go because I have 0 friends and nobody to hang out with. I hate this! This is senior year! I should be enjoying everything. My classes this year and mostly alot of kids in it and I am the only one who just sits in the back of the class and not talk. Then everyone asks me "why are you so quiet? You never talk." I find this really rude too but I just shrug my shoulders. Today, one of my teachers I had in 10th grade saw me and was "Did you lose alot of weight this summer?" I said no? and she was like oh must be what your wearing today or something. That was REALLY RUDE. I am no where near fat nor was ever near fat. I am like 130 140 pounds. It feels like people can say whatever they want to me because I wont stand up for myself or think I dont have feelings because I'm quiet. I can't wait to graduate and never be in this school ever again. I already passed the 3 hardest years of school and idk how I did it honestly. It hurts when people will grow up and have all memories from high school and all I can remember is me being quiet with no friends with everyone treating me differently. I feel so depressed. How do I stop being so depressed and DONT tell me to join a club.?
How do I make new friends while I am a very shy person?
Congratulations. You have already recognized your root cause and are making efforts to improve yourself. This is your first and most important step towards establishing friendship with others. Now before I give you any suggestion you should be ready to loose your shyness but don't loose your grace in order to become friendly.People are shy because they haven't interacted with others much.To stop being shy you should make efforts to interact with people.To interact with people, you need to improve your conversing skills .To be good in your conversing skills, you need to have knowledge about current happenings of the world.To know about the current happenings, you need to read a lot.To read a lot, you have technology at your disposal.Quora, Inshorts, Pockets are some of the apps which will help you aggregate information about lots of things. Just read them thoroughly.Next time when you are with people, with whom you want to be friends, just listen to what they are talking. Speak whatever strikes to your mind at that instant. Initially you may stumble. By nature you are shy, so you may get some stink eyes. Laugh it off on their face and put your point. Gradually people will notice that you are open to conversations.Just give them scope when they want to converse with you. Ask open eneded questions like What do you think of the SpaceX? What is your favorite pastime? What will you do if you had to advice me?When they start answering keep listening to them and give your inputs as and when required. Become vulnerable to their views. Put yourself in their shoes and think what you would have done or not done?Friends need one patient ear to hear their thoughts. Just be that person.
How can a homeschooled teenager make friends?
I already see a lot of information about live interaction, mostly in the form of interaction. Obviously, interacting with others in real life is extremely important, and it is necessary to at least some extent. However, I’m just going to throw in the internet as a useful resource.Since I was 12, I’ve volunteered as an online community moderator, which has put me in touch with many people of all ages and from all over the world sharing an interest in the community we worked to protect. This has given me a pretty large friend group. On my more public Skype account, which I used in daily communication about these projects for about three years or a bit less, I reached about 600 contacts. Now I use different software to communicate, and so the number of people I’ve come into contact with at some point or another has been huge.Obviously, few of these relationships approach the depth of one you’d find in real life, but participating in internet communities (not necessarily as a moderator - Although leading communities is my personal interest, there’s a forum for just about anything), one can be put in contact with hundreds of people of similar interests. This means that it is not hard for such a system to result in just a few close friendships.
I am extremely shy and have no friends?
I am a 16 year old girl and I am extremely shy and when I'm at a lunch table, when the people I sit with are done eating they don't even ask me if they should wait.. They just get up and leave.. I feel invisible.. I really really want a friend but I am super shy and I can't just go up to someone and start talking because I go to a small school and everyone knows I'm shy and they act like I'm not even there.. No one even cares or knows how I feel.. At home I'm really talkative but everywhere else I'm not.. I want to be very talkative and have lots of friends.. I am sad all the time and I feel like crying all the time.. I used to have 3 friends then I moved and I was only friends with one friend then she left me and probably thought I wasn't cool enough and now my two other friends go to my school now ever since I started going there, they act like they don't know me and I'm nothing.. It feels like no one cares or knows how I feel.. How do I become my happy old self and make friends.. I really want to be happy again.. :-(
How do I go from shy nobody to POPULAR GIRL at my new school in september?? (10 POINTS best answer!)?
I know this is a bit long but PLEASE read it! Thanks! I'm 16 and I'm going to start college (for Americans, that's the last 2 years of whatever you do before university) in September. At my last school I got a reputation for being a shy, uptight weirdo. I'm shy, but not uptight or weird- I was just very unhappy and had personal problems. I made friends with the wrong people & they manipulated me, lowered my self esteem and spread bad rumours about me that meant I was bullied & couldn't make any more friends (they told all the girls I was a lesbian & also that I was messed up in the head cos I'd been raped when I was 8, which is totally made up). On top of that I was suffering from depression and panic attacks. My last school SUCKED and I hated every second because I didn't like the very few 'friends' I had, and nobody else liked me/even knew I existed. I want this to change. I want to be a confident, popular girl, and be the best I can possibly be. I want to be charming and liked by the majority of people. I want everyone at my new school to wish they were like me. I don't want to be used or treated like crap by anyone ever again, I want to stand up for myself and be a strong personality. I know that might sound shallow, but I'm sick of being walked all over and ignored and I think I deserve a chance to be an alpha girl. I think I'm a generally okay/good person, and I've been told I'm very pretty (even though I can't see it myself), but I have very low self esteem and get anxious when talking to new people. Also, the new college has no uniform, so I'm going to have to come up with cool outfits that are suitable for classes, but cute, which I'm not sure about. How can I get what I want in like 3 weeks time?? If I have to fake confidence, how do I do that? & what makes popular people so attractive to others? What should I wear? Any advice about any of these questions will be appreciated a lot! 10 points for best answer :) Thank you xxx
How can I make friends in 9th grade?
Ok, so I'm going into 9th grade this august. All of my friends are going to a different high school so I will have no friends... :/ I am a bit shy at first around people i don't know, so it's kind of hard for me to make new friends... But I really want to, so do you have any tips for me? And I'm really nervous about the first day because I won't have anyone to sit with at lunch or anything :/ And i'm worried that everyone will have their friends from middle school so they won't be needing to find new friends like I am... and at lunch they will probably all sit with their old friends... ugh I'm really nervous... please help give me some tips or tell me what you did. On the first day is everyone looking for new friends? I hate it when i go to a new school and i'm all alone and don't know anyone and everyone else is like talking to all their friends... is it like that? I'm kind of hoping they won't have too many classes with their friends so I won't be the only one who doesn't know anyone... lol So... ya just any tips on making new friends in general... Or tips on high school, freshmen year, what to expect? Thanks!
