High school senior with no real friends?
I'm in the exact same boat as you, I live in Sydney, Australia and we just had our summer holidays. Not ONE 'friend' invited me or asked me to hang out in the holidays. None of them even really spoke to me. I went back to school and I felt so alone and isolated, so I know exactly how you feel. I never have plans or anything anymore. But the way I deal with it is this; I think of the people in high school with me and how much I really don't want to be friends with them anyways. High school doesn't last too long, for me it's another 7 months, and the chances of people keeping their friends in high school is quite minimal unless they've been friends for years and years. So don't stress about it, high school will be over before you know it, and whether it be college or wherever you go off to next, it will be a new start and I'm sure you will make many more friends there, that will actually last. All the best.
I'm a loner; barely any friends, no social life?
I'm so frustration with my life, I just think my life sucks but I'm hoping to make it better though. The reason I think my life sucks is because I'm 20, don't have many friends, been single for 4 years now, and never had much of a social life before. I follow the same routine everyday: go to work and come home; in my free time I just watch tv, use the internet, or play video games. I never really go anywhere; even on the weekends, holidays, breaks and summer I stay home or occasionally go places with my family if anywhere. It's not like I like staying home all the time, I just don't know where to go and what to do. I always thought that you only go out if you have friends, because it's pretty weird to go watch a movie by yourself or hang out at the mall by yourself unless you just want time alone. I looked up the definition for loner and it said "a person who is or prefers to be alone, esp. one who avoids the company of others". I don't think this describes me, I mean I don't prefer to be alone at all and I'd very much like to be in the company of others, but I'm just awkward around other people and never seem to fit in with anybody. In high school, I talked to people but I didn't know how to make friends, so I was a loner for my entire high school years. My problem is that I don't know how to make friends and who to make friends with. I'm taking kind of long writing this, because I'm not really sure what to say and how to describe my situation. I'm just writing whatever comes to my mind and trying to describe things accurately. I'm just trying to see if there's anyone out there who's like me and can relate, also anybody who's not like me but would like to help.
Feeling lonely in high school?
I'm a junior in high school, but up until now, I still don't have a close group of friends like other girls. While I do have many friends, none of them are the close ones that would ask you to hang out or constantly share secrets with you. It feels lonely knowing that during holidays some of my friends are having fun hanging out with each other while I'm at home trying to get people to text me. I'm usually very upbeat and friendly towards others but sometimes people still ignore me and leave me out of things but come for me when they need me. Before I moved to this high school, I was a sarcastic b*tch, and even then people liked me and I had a close group that really cared for me. But I realize now that in my new school looks and popularity come first, someone plain like me would always get left out of everything. Should I change how I look? I really want to have my own close group of friends in my new school, so what should I do?
I hate high school, it's hell...?
There are 'cliques' in HS and ******* who pick on people That's not just HS that's life. That said to make friends pay attention around you there are people who you're sure to have something in common that you both like, you may not always meet them in the classroom try seeking people to eat lunch with or ask your cousin about her friends if you two are your only friends then try to make more, not all people at HS are ^******* I happened to find friends from liking anime in common with them maybe you have something you enjoy doing that there are others who enjoy as well those are people who you should consider adding as friends. Please don't hurt yourself anymore, find something more constructive to vent your frustrations out on. If you're sad then cry maybe try to watch videos about kittens on YouTube that might cheer you up. There were times I hated school too for the same reasons or similar reasons. I know what it's like you'll find friends eventually give it time. Heck I made most of my friends my Junior year. I'll link you too some cuteness in the sources. There kitties make it all better or if not they help.
I've never had a friend in my life, what should I do?
Please. I'm being serious. I'm 18 years old, and everytime I try to have friends, I end up wanting to give up and stick to being alone. Like I always am. But I was wondering if there's a way for me to have friends.. not "loser" friends.. I mean types of friends that are trustworthy and don't end up backstabbing. And are overall great people to spend time with. I just don't know how to explain all this!!! I NEED HELP~!!!!!
I'm starting a new school and am extremely shy, how can I make friends on my first day?
Wow....just like me, like i moved to a school like 2 months before the exams and i was freaking out! But when i went there (1st day) everything went well! All you have to do is be open, friendly, brave, take any help you are offered, and don't object yourself to ask questions! here is a little story to explain more: There once was a potato. He was moving to a new school, and just like you he was very nervous! He went to the school with his parents to see how/where everything is so Potato wouldn't have any trouble. Then the next day, Potato was ready to finally go to his new school. He walked to his bus-stop, and while he waited he saw a few kids coming his way. When they got there they introduced themselves as Cherry, Banana, and Peach. They were really nice kids and Potato made good friends with them. When all of them got to school, he was invited to sit with his new friends and he didn't deny the invitation. Potato got through the day with the help from many of the students there such as Pear, Guava, Pineapple, Apple, and Orange! His was never alone because he was open, friendly, kind, he asked questions when he didn't understand, and most of all, HE WASN'T AFRAID!!! You see, POTATO was a VEGETABLE! The others were FRUITS! Potato was different from ALL of them but he wasn't afraid, but he was open, friendly, and many more positive things! What I am saying is DON'T BE AFARID! Just go out there and be who YOU ARE! People will love you for being you! I made like 50 friends on my first day! When you relax, chill, and take it easy, you will go with the flow! Belive me, I know know how you're feeling. But with experiances like these, you won't be confused and scared in the future with same situations! So just be yourself, be open, kind, friendly, brave, and don't say no to any help! If you get lost in the hallways (like I did for the WHOLE 1st week---I am crazy like that) then ask anyone passing by! Hope I helped you (took 4ever 2 type this) and good luck in your new school! <3
How often do most teens hang out with their friends?
I am currently a female student in Year 10, my friends and I hang out… well, here's the regular:I am a sociable person. I love networking and talking to other people, both online and in person. I participate in many extracurricular activities such as the school band, school play, debating league and more. So I hang out with a lot of people.I have a group of friends consisting of 9 girls, 2 of which attend different schools to the rest. We are all in Year 10. We all live in the same area.My friends and I chill outside of school when there is someone's birthday, a special occasion and a lot of the times, for fun. On average, I'll spend 1–5 days a month with my friends outside of school. This includes just running small errands together after school or having a full day to ourselves shopping, at the cinemas, eating major meals, bowling, etc. This excludes school-related extracurricular activities.On school breaks, my friends and I tend to talk to each other online and meet up when we can. We spend more time with our families on breaks. Just like currently, we are on a month-and-a-half holiday from school (all students). Some of us go away, some of us stay home and others have jobs.It is rare that all of the girls get together outside of school because of parent consent, transportation issues and more. I hope this provided insight into a teen's social life :)
