feeling introverted.. (sorry that this is long) please help!
Question Posted Monday February 19 2007, 6:47 pm
I feel like I have NO friends. People ignore me all the time on AIM, MSN, and Yahoo. I always have to talk to them first, but they never go to me first, even after asking them what's going on, and leaving them alone for months. But when I do that, they just forget who I am on their list, or delete me because of no reason. Even at school, nobody ever goes up to me and talks to me. On the weekends, I beg friends to hang out with me at the movies, but they give me some b/s like "oh, i am busy this weekend" every weekend! So I am always by myself at lunch, or stuck at home having nothing to do. I always have to do the talking first, and when I do talk to them, they have very little to say to me. And ALL of my friends do this!! They never even find time for me.
I just don't see a point in living anymore.. nobody texts my cell phone anymore, even after sending loads of texts (Not ONE response), and waiting for them to text me first (still, NO texts)
I try SO hard to keep up with my friends but they are always going somewhere else but around me. I don't recall once of annoying them in some way. I don't even get messages or comments on Myspace. Friends keep deleting me off without any warning or reason, and they eventually stop talking to me. Friends are always ditching me for their boyfriend or girlfriend. Also, I haven't received a call from any of my friends in a year!! Not one...
I just want to end my life because no matter how hard I try, I can't make new friends, or keep them, because it seems like they are mad at me. I did ask them what is going on and they just give me "oh, nothing...." and walk off.
I tried counseling. Didn't work!! I tried talking to a teacher into getting me friends, and that never even lasts either.
I don't smell. I shower every day. In fact, mostly twice a day. I brush my teeth 3 times a day, use deodorant, and wash my clothes so I wear them clean -- so hygiene can't be the problem. I am nice, polite, and I am extremely giving. On Holidays I give people gifts but I get nothing back. I don't even get invited to my "bestfriends'" birthday parties.
What can I do???? (sorry this is long but I appreciate it sooo much if you helped me out!!) This has been hard for me to endure.

Maybe you did something. or maybe they think you did something or said something. you know what I mean? Make new friends. forget them, they obviously suck. or, you could ask them what the heck you ever even did to them, like force them to tell you. like just keep asking. because if they go .."oh nothing.." they probably expect you to know what the problem is. just think really hard. what could you have ever ever done, the smallest thing to them.
Do you go to a small school? If you do go to a small school, I'd switch schools. But, if its huge.. then you can find some new friends. Find people who don't know your name or anything. & be super friendly to them, & stuff like that.
If you can switch schools, start off all new, don't hang out with anyone that may know you.
& just be supersuper friendly. & it will get
better, promise. (: & theres always a reason
for anyone to live. so don't do anything you'd
know you'd regret later.
Do you have any brothers or sisters your close to? or mom or dad that your close to? Hang out with them.. sometimes family can be cooler then
you think.
I hope everything works out, & just hang in there. everyoneee goes through a time where they don't have friends. I just actually, went through it. & i know it sucks. so dont worry i know how it feels. but, it gets better. just be happy your the nicer person who didn't do the ditching. because my old friends sucked, they were so mean. be happy they pushed you away, your way better then them.
