This year, being my freshman year in highschool, I decided to completely stay away from drama and what not. Of course, I some how got sucked in and spit out, losing my best friend and my personality in the process. It's not that I don't know who I am, it's just that life is so dull, I don't know what to do. I'm not making any new friends, I'm not interested in anyone, I'm just sitting here waiting for something exciting to happen. I used to be the person to cause the excitement. I feel so dull. I guess I'm just sort of thinking a lot. I read "The Last Lecture" the other day, and I guess, corny as it sounds, it go me thinking about life itself. Maybe I'm just spending to much social time in my head? It's just awkward around people now. I feel like I'm losing my friends because of this. I don't know how to snap out of this trance. It's not like it's always like this. I was grounded a few weeks ago for about 2 months from my comoputer, phone, and ipod, and I found that I'm much happier without these material items, but now that i'm ungrounded, I've gone back to being addicted to all of my things. I guess I just want to know what's causing this dullness inside of me...I feel like something really big is going to happen in my life soon but I'm not sure what it is or even if it will, so I'm waiting? I just don't see the point of life anymore (not in a suicidal way). Please help me snap out of this trance.
I just overcame this problem, so here's my input...find an activity that you can really contribute to. Anything that requires responsibility and your time will work out just fine. You learn more about yourself through experience and not just sitting in one spot thinking about every detail of your life. Believe me, just participate.

We all need a break from drama once in awhile. Feeling dull is that that uncommon. Don't dwell on your thoughts so much or worry about things you can not change that are in the past. As far as the excitement goes, just sounds to me that you need a pick me up. Something to spark your spunk again. I would suggest getting out of the house and cutting loose for a bit. Do anything that does not require in depth thought. Go to the mall with some friends. Plan a night to hang out with other people and talk smack. Start making some plans for halloween, and be creative. I personally find that anything that destrats you in a possitive way, helps you to not dwell in your own world so much. Also a way that helps me cope is to write down my thoughts, it seems that once I do this I feel as if I have vented some what and it does help for me. Other people play sports or games. Some can just hang out bsing. Sounds like you just need to reconnect with things, and do something fun, anything you consider fun. But I do feel you need to get out of the house, and you need to make some plans so you have something to look forward to. Talk with some friends on the phone start to reconnect with people on the phone as well. Keeping to many things inside is not good. Try to figure out differant ways to deal with the stress of drama in your life. This does sound like a mild depression, so I am strongly encouraging you to hang out with some friends. It will help even if you dont really do much. Having your friends around is very important when it comes to snapping out of this kind of feeling. I hope this helps, please let me know what you think, I will try to help you get past this point with any more questions you might have... But try these suggestions and get back with me and let me know if you are still feeling this way about things, or if things seem to get a little easier.
