hopeless?


Question Posted Friday April 13 2007, 9:09 pm

i feel soo alone and i think every yr it gets worse. i mean i dont hang out with anyone and now out school i have a hard time finding someone too hang out with.

the people i were hanging out with i decided to distance myself from cuz they didnt treat me well or respect me and some of the things they were doing I dont approve of and want to be around. some people i used to talk to went to another school or dont talk to me cuz we either grew apart or because of last years drama.

i dont know why! is it because im smart? i mean im not dumbing myself down for people to like me and this one girl was like "who wants to be friends with people like that they're no fun" i hate it, i only have 3 more yrs and im just tired of everything. what can i do? im friendly and nice but still.

wow. i feel for ya. feeling alone sucks. drifting away from friends is painful. is there anyone you want to be friends with that you arent? if so try to get to know them, or relate to them, but dont make anything up. be yourself. if you just say a few simple things like, 'god i hate history class why does this class have to suck so much' or 'did you ever notice how ms. soandso says yep like FIVE BILLION times during one class' haha very random examples but anyway. if you just say stuff like that, or maybe speak up about something in class or idk just let your personality shine. if your shy, its harder, but you can certainly attempt talking to people. myspace might let your aqwatences get to know you better,if you have one. you sound like a really really strong person. its good that you know who you are. if you want to talk my aim is solightninglove, and my myspace name is 'your the yellow bird that ive been waitin' for'

Hiya.

I know a lot of people and have a fair bit of friends but there's times even I feel extremely alone and lonely. I think it happens to everyone at least once.

Firstly, you're very right in what you said - you shouldn't have to change yourself for anyone to like you. If people can't accept you for who you are and the way you are then they are people not worth bothering with. There's nothing wrong with being smart either. Since when can smart people not have fun?! Does that mean theones who said that are stupid because they know how to have fun? :-/

Being friendly and nice is a very good thing. People like that stick out with me and I get along with people like that and I can open up to them more and talk to them. Friends do move on though and lose touch and stuff. I think the oldest friend I now have (who I admitI rarely chat to nowadays) I have known about 10 years or so. Before then all the people I used to talk to and were my friends have just gone. Old friends go and new friends take their place, it's usually how it works.

Have more confidence in yourself. If people don't like you to hell with them, you can find other friends. Not everyone will like you because everyone is different. Text, call up, email or message some of your old friends you have not spoken to in ages because you lost touch. When you're back at school make new friends and arrange to hang out or go to the movies in a nice group or something so you can all get to know each other outside school. It will all be a way to try and make some new friends who do appreciate you and more importantly - accept you for who you are. :]
