socializing...
HELP! Please! I have a problem...see, I don't get out of the house much. Well let's just say AT ALL! Ever! I have dropped out of school awhile ago, and no job but my mother supports me. I have no friends at all. I try to communicate with them but nobody ever seems to want to hang out with me. And I don't think it's because I've dropped out...I did it a LONG time ago and this is just starting to happen. I never get asked out on a date, and my friends never talk to me. I've basically just become a bum and all I do all day is sit around home on the computer watching tv. I hate it. I know it wont be like this for the rest of my life but can somebody please tell me if this is semi-normal?! I want to know that I'm not a freak of nature.
Our town is really small, and I don't get along with too many of them so socializing is really hard for me. What can I do to make myself feel better about this? Any tips on not being so shy also? Thanks so much!

Why did you drop out of school? If you can't go back to the school you dropped out of, then go to an alternative school, but please finish high school! You WILL regret it if you don't. You will feel better if you take this small step. Next get a part-time job doing SOMETHING productive. You might even think about volunteering at something you like. Maybe the hospital nearby needs volunteers, or the animal shelter. Another thing that changes your attitude in a hurry is exercise. Even if you go for a 5 minute walk, you will feel different afterwards. Do this everyday, and it may start something inside of you....a feeling of well-being that will kick-start you into going forward with your life. This life is not a dress rehearsal, and it is up to you to take the small steps everyday to make it better.
Good luck.................Maritia

I think you need to go back to school.You gotta understand without an education you're life isn't going to get any better than that.But you dont have to actually go back into the school building, u can get homeschooled or go to night school=)

Try involving yourself in something like dance, gym, get a job it should help you meet new people then you can get out more. Or what might help, Go back to school ( probably not what you want to hear) If your comfortbale with yourself you may find it easier to socialize, I hope I helped! Good Luck! **KaitLyn

Get a job, that should help your social life. Anything that makes you see people on a regular basis is good, and making money's nice too, you don't want to be supported by your mom forever. And yeah, you're not a freak, sometimes I get like that over the summer, but yeah, procrastination isn't good.

No, you are not a freak of nature. Just let people see that you don't need them. Go out and do things with your family like bowling. Then once your friends see that your hanging out again they may want to hang out with you. If that doesn't work then just hang out at all the hot teen spots in town and just start talking to people. Trust me I used to be the same way. Then I just started talking to them and now I have too many people that I talk to to keep track of. So don't sweat it, it'll all work out in the long run.
