I think I'm completely disregarding my social life right now, to the point that I am extremely lonely. I have had one really close friend since elementary school and she was like the ONLY person I ever hung out with or had sleep overs with. I mean, I still go to parties ocassionally, but I don't have a close group of friends. And now my one best friend isn't in any of my classes and we hardly ever see each other anymore. I feel like I'm losing her. We are both so busy and have no time for each other. It's kind of sad. She has all of her volleyball friends that she hangs out with now, and I don't know most of them. I feel like such a loser. What's my problem??and how do i fix it??

But don't freak out if you don;t find any really good friends. And it doesn't matter the number of friends, what matters is the QUALITY. [ HOLLYWOOD17's advice column | Ask HOLLYWOOD17 A Question ]

as to get reaquainted with your friend, i would tell her what you told us. call her up and tell her youre feeling left out of things, and that you want to hang out. and you said, "we hardly have any time for eachother" and well i think if you want it bad enough then you both should make time. if you have sports just skip practice ONCE or hang out on the weekends. im sure you can work you schedule around it.
and also, i know how you feel about the classes thing because i only have friendish type things in a couple of my classes since my best friend moved across the country. you just have to be friendly and talkative to people, and they'll start to see how fun you are to be around. maybe they thought you were just shy or something before, but its a fresh year and everybody deserves a clean slate.
