What should i do


Question Posted Saturday January 22 2005, 11:09 pm

I have a terrible life where i am living right now, i have no friends here and am very lonely.Because of dealing with this for so long i guess i got a prolonged depression and get really down about the smallest things, wether it be someone talking about how there weekend was, to about how their bf/gf took them to dinner or what ever.The thing is that i know i can be happy in another place, but moving is definatly not a subject, my parents dont know about all of this, and the most major thing is im almost done high school and am going to be starting an apprentace, and i just want to have friends, and do stuff on the weekends or during the week rather then working and doing nothing.I just want to have a social life and be able to enjoy my life while im young.....Help me please!

Friends are hard to make at times, especially when you're sad, lonely, and depressed. Because, you'll look sad, lonely, and depressed if you are. Try and be more self confident appearing (even if you're not!) and put yourself out there a little bit and say "hi" to someone. Doing stuff on the weekends isn't that important in my life, in fact, I never do stuff on the weekends. (well, I ride my horse, but I try to live a simple life) The key, in my opinion, to having good friends, is to be a good friend. You need to look happy, act friendly, smile. I know the feeling, "AUGHH!!! Everyone is out doing something, and I'm stuck home folding socks!!" That was me, and I honestly have come out of my shell a lot more now, and it has positivly affected me. God helped me to do that. If you were to ask my best friend what I was like two years ago, she would tell you that I hated social situations, even though I hated not having very many friends. I was just so shy! (I still am, I can just hide it better now) I have only a few best friends. One "sister". My "sister" has been my best friend for six years. That's why we are so close. Believe me, if I didn't have her, I wouldn't be as happy as I am. A very good close friend is what everyone needs. Of course, if you're a girl, and your best friend is a girl, then you become good friends with a guy, and the guy falls in love with your best friend, drop one in the inbox and we can complain about the third wheel feeling together, then cry it out together. I mean, how do you not do something like that? Guys can be just as good friends as girls can be, it just smurfs* when they fall in love. :'( But yeah, my best friend is awesome, my guy friends are awesome. I honestly don't know how to tell someone to make friends, because it's different for each person. Personality plays a large role in it, and my personality is fairly withdrawn, shy, non-competitive, and simple. I love horses, and that's my life. (literally) Hobbies can help the saddness of not having someone close. My horse, Scooter, listens to me sometimes better than a person does. I'll be the first to tell you that I am not a "people person". In fact, people rather bug me. But I love to hang out with the few people that I get along with. Being older, you have a disadvantage, because you're having to start building the relationships with people, when most of those people have already labled you as something. (prep, goth, geek etc.) But you can do it! If you don't have the Creator, there's what you're missing. Jesus Christ changed my life. When you go from not knowing the Truth, to being eternally secured, it's like going from a pitch black, freezing cold room, to the warm sunshine. ~Awesome~ When you have Christ in your life, and you're living the Christian life, you're pretty much happy. That's not saying that if you get saved, you'll always be happy, and you wont have any problems. Because you're still subject to temptation and all.. but God still loves you, and if you accept Him, you will be much happier. If you already have Him, try to get into the Word more, live the walk of a Christian, and you'll be much happier. Hope you have good fortune finding friends, God bless.

*Smurfs in my vocabulary is another word for "sucks" or "stinks". Also, if I call you a "little smurf" I am probably irritated at you because I don't hold those little blue men in high regard =D

First off, your an awesome guy hun. Just because people down there don't like you for who you are, doesn't mean your not the greatest guy around. I know you and I know who you are and everything about you is great. People are stupid down there and they need to smarten up. If they don't realize how great of a guy you are, they aren't worth your time at all. I could probably name of a million reason why your so great, probably could go on for days on end. That's how much I think and care about you. I know that once you get out of highschool and into collage, people are going to like you. Highschool's rough and people judge a lot of people for no reason. While collage is layed back and I think you'll do a lot better once you get out of the "highschool years". And after collage, if you decide to move, you can move in with me! Now babe, guess what? Your question, has Officialy been pimped. I love you, be happy and smile.
