How to deal with being a lone wolf in high school?
I've realized that for the last 3 years in high school I have not developed any meaningful friendships. The one really good friend I thought I had did not respond to my message about needing to talk about a serious problem I have. (I started talk talking to a guy she used to sext and she said it was okay, then this year she sexted him when she knew I still liked him. I thought I was in the wrong for talking to him in the first place, but she either sexted or went out with every guy in our class (we're in honors classes and see the same ppl in all our classes basically. It's a tight knit group, you're bond to catch feelings for at least one of them.). Is it my fault she chose to do that with everyone? Everyone can't be off limits for that reason. So this summer she asked about my relationship with the guy I liked and she sexted. I told her I didn't feel comfortable telling her that cause she clearly still likes him. After that she hasn't really texted, I didn't really text.) so basically, I haven't developed good friendships. How do I deal with not really having friends my senior year of high school?
Can a loner date a popular girl?
I don't know because I am in your position last week, I was the loner who sits at the portables eating her lunch alone and I have had this huge crush on this popular boy for 3 freaking years. Sadly, I have just come to terms with the reality of it, and I am sorry to say that through basic experience that it's just not possible. I have tried talking to him, but him and his buddies are always together and he ignores me. Unless your girls DOES NOT care about anything her friends says (which is highly doubt full, because girls (especially popular ones) care a lot about what other girls say about them). Also, another thing about popular girls is that they use people alot. They are really beautiful and this is why they can use their beauty to make guys (especially guys who don't usually talk to girls) and make them do whatever the hell they want. So, although this girl has given you the time of day, bare in mind that it might be because she may want something from you at that point and she took advantage of it. Or it could be because you only have 3 friends, and therefore she befriended you to take advantage of you. And not only that, the popular girls also have this image issue, they need to be in the top of the social pyramid in high school and sometimes they just look past the loners and go straight for the jocks and the other popular guys. But bare in mind, what happened to me, may not happen to you. All you got to do is BELIEVE and hopefully talk to her enough that she becomes accustomed to you. But bare in mind YOU NEED to praise her and compliment her because after all she is popular, but when you are DIFFERENT than all the past guys she has dated, she will figure out that she actually DOES NEED you. That's how most movies show it as...
Does going to prom (as a guy) alone make me a loser?
No. It doesn't make you look like a loser. If anything it makes you look like the mysterious lone wolf. Which is good! And that is honestly one of the most attractive things a guy can do: show up alone and be confident. If a guy is constantly dependent on his friends, that's not attractive. You don't have to be invited to stuff! Just do your own thing and people will flock to you! Tbh I'm going to prom alone too. No group, no date :p but oh well! Hope that helped haha. By the way could you answer my most recent question? I need a guy's opinion
Is it okay to be an outsider and a loner in high school?
I just graduated back in June. I was both those things, I never felt like I really belonged there. Well, I don't feel like that in most places lol However, I wasn't unhappy because of it. I like my alone time a little (maybe a lot) more than other people. I have few friends. I like it that way. I didn't mind eating lunch in the library towards my senior year or sometimes going entire class periods without saying a single word. I preferred it to interacting with people just for the sake of interacting. I liked my reputation... I was the girl who was a bit strange, talked to the teachers more than the students, did really well academically and... the most important part... was extremely friendly. Apart from being a loner and not socializing much... people knew me to always be very friendly, pleasant, calm, and kind when they came to interact with me. I think this was the key to my success as a loner - that people like me. I was never ridiculed or made to feel bad about my social choices by my peers. Thus, there was probably a lot less self doubt than there could have been. I mean, yeah... sure, I was and am a teenager so I had small bouts of social anxiety from time to time. I still do. But they help me grow and sometimes give my perspective of myself a nice slap in the face. Another important factor is my family. I never feel like an outsider with my family which grounded me, I believe. I had at least one place I could be comfortable.I took 6 AP's, got accepted to my top-choice university, am healthy, got a 2020 on the SAT, speak 5 languages, have strong relationships with the people I love, moved to a foreign country at 18, drug use extends to drinking on the occasional weekend, and am more or less content. So for me, yes. It was okay. I don't regret it one bit. It's a great way to get to know yourself, being alone. Please don't let people tell you you're doing it wrong... your experience is your experience. We all have different needs, and if yours line up with mine in way of socializing... then you should be good. Go eat lunch in the library everyday. Just remember that even though you're not one of them, you can still talk about the latest news story or a thesis that you're working on for a few minutes.I wish you the best possible luck (:Alone does not mean lonely! And it most certainly does not mean discontent
What's it like to be a high school loner?
Being a high school loner has it's pros and cons.Pros:We can have a good relationship with the teachers as they see you lonely.You can do things without being judged about.You don't have to worry about giving your friends a treat at your birthday.You don't waste time talking nonsense with your fake friends and on social media.No stress of being away from your friends.You can concentrate on your assignments better.You can explore new things.You can see the stark difference between the good crowds and the bad crowds at school.No strings attached.You can go to anyone for help and they'll help you because they know you don't have friends.Cons:It hurts like a mother fucker when you see everyone is talking and you're the only person who's not.You get to set records of being quiet for the longest time everyday. Just sad.You have to sit at one specific place while recess and never change it.You have to get used to being ignored midway through a conversation.You must get used to being the quietest person in the class and be proud of that title.It fucking hurts when you realise everyone knows you don't have friends.Always keeping that smile up.There is no one to discuss about this very interesting subject you got to know.You can cry in the class and no one will notice. Just be quiet. (should this be a pro?)You can literally stop talking for the day and no one will notice.That's all I have for now.School can be a fucking lonely place…
Will I regret not going to my junior prom?
I'm 16 and a boy. I most likely won't go to my junior or senior prom. I'm definitely the lone wolf type, I have a couple loyal friends and that's all I need. I've never had a girlfriend, but I really don't care that much, I don't see it as something worth making myself sick over. I'm definitely not like everyone else, but **** anyone that has a problem with the way I am, I got my pride. It's pretty likely I'll die alone, I'm also struggling with depression and other personal problems. Anyway I'm homeschooled, so I don't even know if I'm allowed to go. Please offer your advice, thank you in advance.
