Hmm...


Well, first off. You can't let your cousin run your life, wether she has no one to hang out with or not. You need to definitly take a break from her if you ask my opinion. It doesn't seem like you have any communication problems, it's just that you need to get out MORE. If you seem to meet new people at your school, try planning something with them over the weekend, movies, mall ect. More new friends leads to even more friends, soon enough you'll feel a lot better. You just need to act yourself, don't try and fit in, but still talk to your cousin. Sure, hanging out with her once in a while is fine, but don't make it stressful and an every day thing. I know if i were you i wouldn't wanna do the same thing either. I really don't know what else to say, but take my advice. It will be for the best. :) Take care.

♥ Alli

Well, I have just two close female friends and three semi-close guy friends. I am not "popular" at all. Though at my school, we're not really divided into groups like that. But even s, my two girl friends that I mentioned? One likes to party TOO MUCH for my tastes, the other doesn't like going out at all. Sometimes it bothers me, and I get lonely. But that's life. So...you don't have cars, huh? Is there anything fun to do in walking distance? Like a mall or something? If there is, it's fun to get all dolled up and just walk around the mall together (I mean with your cousin). There is more to life than being popular! Just be yourself and be happy with that. You sound very insecure about yourself...you should get over that. Embrace your inner Goddess; be beautiful. Okay, enough of that sappy stuff (though I still think you should do it!!!) Have you tried talking to this popular boy? Maybe he is more approachable than you think. And if he's not, you might be able to get to know a bunch of un=popular people who are still really cool and great to hang out with.I think the way you feel about your cousin is understandable. You spend a lot of time with her; it's easy to get sick of people that way. I often end up getting sick of my friends. Try to spend some time away from her to vent.

K2204 answered Thursday January 5 2006, 7:19 pm:
well, tell your cousin how you feel. try to make other plans, way in advance, like a few days, even a week in advance, and tell your cousin that you cant do anything because you already have plans. Then maybe you could try to include your cousin in some of your activities that you do with other friends. Like try to get your cousin and your friends together for a day! that would be fun!! Maybe even try to get your friends to invite some guys along!!

Im note sure if that was what you were asking, but if it isnt, please leave one in my inbox! and I would be happy to answer differently.

Hope I Helped!

GOOD LUCKK!

i don't even know what the heck you're asking. that was just.. way too long and pointless. it seemed like you just needed to vent. get a livejournal. you can write this stuff there.

you have to understand that i can't tell you what to do with your weekend, or to tell you to say no to your cousin, or tell you how to get friends. the "hott guy" likes the "hott girl", he probably doesn't even know who you are. you are telling me that you don't have any friends, so.. go get some. that's really all i can say, and yeah, it's pretty mean, but what else did you want? you just rambled on and on about crap in your question. and it didn't make much sense.

xomegaroni answered Thursday January 5 2006, 6:05 pm:
i'm not exactly sure what you're asking for. i see what you mean with the whole cousin thing, because i was in that situation too. meeting people can be REALLY easy because if you go to a new event such as sports, clubs, etc. you can meet new people & hang out with them. don't try to like exclude your cousin er something. try making new friends in sports er clubs & then see if you can hang out with her & your cousin. like bring your friend along. that way you guys can all hang out together & he/she can meet your family & they'll see that you do have friends. meeting guys is actually pretty simple & this probably sounds weird but becoming friends with guys is like 100x easier than becoming friends with girls. why?? girls are too picky!! idk why but they really are. juss go to your schools sporting event & see. start up conversations about games, school, friends, etc. try getting your cousin out've the house. in HS you should be having fun, because you have a lot less responsiblity then a college student er someone that is in their 20's. juss try hanging out different places with new people.

-hope that helped!♥

--oh its okay that its so long, one thing i think you should do is get to know people at school better. you can ask if they want to come over and hang out one day.if they say no, theyre probably busy. just ask someone else then. even if you dont know these people very well, you will get to know them if you hang out with them. try taking your cousin to some school things like basketball games and whatnot. if she says she doesnt want to, then just tell her that you had your heart set on going and go without her. she might even change her mind and go with you, because she seems like the person who gets what she wants easily and you need to show her that shes not.
--if your shy at talking to people, try and compliment them on something(shirt shoes, necklace) especially something in common like if they have a band shirt on.
--another thing you could do is get a myspace, or if you already have one, ask to be some peoples friends that go to your school. if you dont know them, the best way to open up is to comment their pictures or ask how its going or do their stupid little quizzes that them post in a bulliten or blog. thats how i met a lot of my friends i have today.
--as for your cousin, tell her that you want to stay home this weekend. you could say that you have a project, or that you dont feel like a sleepover that weekend.
