I'm 15f I can't stop crying. I don't feel like me I'm a sophomore and I feel like noone truly likes me. I've tried changing and I don't know who I am. I want people to like me but I just feel like I don't belong where I am. I feel selfish for crying and feeling like this crap. But I can't help it. It's sophomore year everyone is in there cliques and I feel like an outsider I lost most of my friends mainly because of separation of classes and they eventually found new people. I think I pushed away people.. I don't know. I just want change in my life I think that I need a boyfriend to make me happy but you guys allways say you don't but wouldn't a friend make me happy. I try to be myself but noone likes me I do have friends just not close ones that idk I feel alone. Please help I feel depressed and I cry everyday
VoiceofReason answered Monday October 10 2011, 11:40 am: LiSaxOBaBii has it about right. You're only 15 and still figuring out who you are. Different people do that at different ages and some students mature in certain areas faster than others. Unfortunately, you're at an age at which all I can urge you to do is be patient, relax, like yourself because you are indeed a good person and be in control of your life so that you deal with it on your terms and not anyone else's.
Loneliness can be a weird thing. It depresses a lot of people but it can also make one rather independent. Ultimately, we are all alone because every person is a unique individual. So the only thing we can do is try to learn as much as we can about how life, the world and the universe works and try to do the best we can in that environment. Being part of the herd does require a kind of set of blinders. Sometimes when you are an outsider you're less blind than the general herd because you are able to observe the craziness from a distance and aren't directly caught up in it.

However the feelings of wanting to fit in I feel are normal at your age. In order to find true friends and a guy who will love you for you, you have to be yourself. Too many people make the mistake of trying to blend in with the crowd and end up losing themselves.
In order to gain friends are you involved in any clubs or activities? They might help you get your mind off of how you're feeling, and you could possibly meet new people who you would develop to close relationships with.
Why don't you try volunteering, as well? You may be able to meet people close to your age who have the same interests as you do. People that don't live too far away but don't go to your school, it will expand your options and make you feel better about yourself.
nothinggirl answered Wednesday October 5 2011, 3:03 pm: Yeah i think the same way. I feel like i can't breathe like i'm drowning in ice cold water and i get scared that no one will pull me out. I'm a loser i don't have many friends and i don't have anyone who can truly understand me. Will i started painting, yes painting and it helped i'm not good at it and i'll never be famous but it helps me because i feel like i'm in a different world where i'm not the ugly girl that no one cares about.I've realized that i only need one friend who will stand by me and who will love me for being me is enough and that i don't need anyone else. Sometimes i feel so lost. like i could die from my own self pity. Try painting it helps even if you suck at it you'll feel better after it. You are real which means that you're not some whore or some girl that wears a bunch of makeup and that is something sooooo special. Cherish yourself, cause you are beutiful and if people around can't see that then fuck them. But maybe you have to see yourself as someone unique and beutiful before you want others to see you that way. Be yourself and you'll get through this living hell:) [ nothinggirl's advice column | Ask nothinggirl A Question ]
LiSaxOBaBii answered Wednesday October 5 2011, 9:16 am: I'm 20 now, but in high school, I went through the same thing. I usually was a drifter and the people I hung out with were more like aquaintances than friends.
Focus on you and the rest should fall into place. Work on your hobbies and do well in school. You will feel better about yourself when you achieve more success in those areas.
