Hello, my name is Sam. There's a lot that I can say about myself, but if you'd like that then you could always message me and we can have a nice cup of tea together :D
I am not very old, so I might not have too much life experience, but I do like to help people. I know that life often throws unexpected blows at people, but I am so extremely optimistic. Hopefully some of my optimism will rub off on the people to whom I am giving advice. I am happy to help with anything! :)

so for the first time in a long time, i really feel like all my friends have moved on from me. they either got bored, or found someone better. i am usually very confident and happy, i'm just shy with new people. i'm not sure what to do with myself anymore. also, i'm drifting from all my best friends; especially one that i've had for 11 years. (i'm 15 , shes 17). i feel like i can't relate to anyone anymore, many of my friend's changed. if anyone has gone through this, what did you do to cope? any help on this would be appreciated, thankyou so much (link)

I understand how you feel to some extent. Last year I switched schools from all of my close friends and felt like i had absolutely no one. And I think my sadness made me kind of isolate myself from everyone else. Like I feel like they only saw that sad alone part of me rather than the real happy fun person that I know I truly am. For nearly a year I did nothing about it. But that was a huge mistake, think of all the stuff I missed out on! So I thought to myself, "I have to show people the real me. I have to forget the mistakes I've made because I can't change them anymore. I have to accept that I am no one else bu myself, and I have to be the best version of myself as possible."
So when I started school again, I talked to everyone in my classes. I tried to get more involved in clubs that really interested me and took electives that I thought would be fun. Suddenly I go from hating school to looking forward to each new day. Now, I still don't have super tight friends, but I am working on it. It's only been a week, after all. But I am trying to show people who I am, not who I think they want me to be. It took me so long to figure that out and now that I have I can honestly say that I have found happiness in myself. I hope you can do the same. The key is to do what you love and show everyone who you are. Being shy isn't really an option. Try to initiate conversations and make new friends. It will take a while, but at least know that you aren't alone, because I'll be doing it too.
