I feel...Lonely. It's not like I don't have SOME friends. I do, it's just that, I never want to be with them until I am on the verge of tears.
Recently, I have been rather taken with my best friend and I'm close with him and his family, but then on Facebook, I see that he went to a nearby beach with his family and a girl(who I'm also friends with).
Now, this girl is close friends with his older brother and maybe that's why she was there. I know I'm being clingy and paranoid but I just feel that I need to move on.
How do I do that? This boy has taken 5 years of my life with him. I want to make other friends, closer friends, and maybe be with someone. But, how do I go about it? Especially in the summer?

It is normal to feel lonely. But, you should't let it go to far. It is alright if you feel as if this other girl should not be in the picture. To get your mind off of him, try involving yourself in activities and positive things you normally wouldn't do. Such as: take a walk (even if its around the block), listen to your favorite music, play with/get a small pet you would be able to take care of (my little pug entertains me), rent a movie (have some popcorn,your favorite candy,or just a fluffy pillow,just chill), do things with your friends (have a spa day, pack a picnic, have a slumber party), just chill by learning to cook/bake something you want, find a penpal! (they are loads of fun, will have common interests, and will love discovering new things with you), Or do something you've always been meaning to.
To make new friends, join a group, go to a camp, go bowling, hang out at a mall and comment someone that looks interesting to meet, or join the friends you have on a night out with their friends. Try to step out of your comfort zone, it will expand your horizons.
The best way to meet a guy is to go somewhere guys go, always smile, get out more, play a sport, and/or go to the movies. Always be sure to be yourself. A guy usually comes when you are not looking for a guy. Go somewhere where you will enjoy yourself. When a guy sees you happy, he is more likely to be happy and make a move. If you see a guy that looks cute, don't be afraid to comment on something he is wearing or his hair, etc. He will be sure to react positively, then flirt and work your way from there.
When your body is doing fun things, it has no time to think about the bad. Fill your time with all the things you love. Start making a list now and checking them off :) Everything will work from there <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
Teen2TeenHelp answered Tuesday July 6 2010, 2:33 am: If you want to make friends during the summer, you have to involve yourself in activities that involve people of your age group. Since you didn't specify your ag range, it's not clear on what type of activity you can do. If you're a kid, then maybe you can do a summer camp or so.
