Alone

Ever since I can remember, I've never had any real friends. No friends I can look up to, or go to the movies with, or play a sport with. I don't see myself as a socially awkward person, nor one that is depressing to be around. Yet, I've never been to a party, had a girlfriend, or even gone outside with someone for that matter. I have friends in school, but I know they're only temporary. By the end of this year i'll be going to college and trying to sort my life out, and they'll be gone, hopefully. I just want to go somewhere and do something, the only problem with that is, i'm too scared of being rejected like other times I've asked a 'friend' to watch a movie. I've wanted to try sports such as boxing or ice skating, but all I imagine is if I go, there will be people who are already with their friends or family, and I'll be on my own like always. Maybe all I need to do is build up some courage to just find friends, go to those sports clubs on my own. I'm just not sure where to find it. Any ideas?

if your not socially awkward or like shy you can probably make friends in college (btw how old are you? lol how does a 16 year old go to college?) but yeah college is filled with people just like you. same interests, same dreams, and are more than willing to be friends. like literally people are so open ^^; i didnt go long enough to make any real friends but i met a guy who actually asked to hang out sometime which was kinda new for me cuz im used to the whole "friends for this school year" thing and after that you go your own ways. college might be different for you who knows? just be sociable while you're there and you will make friends in no time. or maybe join a club and make friends there.

My suggestion is just try to be a bit more out-going and social for your remaining time you're in grade school. Use that experience and make a mental note and try to use it as a spring board to become more social when you get into college. Join some clubs and talk to your classmates before and after classes. Being in your last year of high school before moving on is an awkward time, especially if you won't be in the same town after you graduate just because of a lot of people moving on to different schools or avenues in life. That's why I just suggest to try and be more open and talkative with people. College is the time for you to really break out of your shell if you can take advantage of it.

I was the loner in school with only a couple friends outside school, and I don't talk to one of them anymore. Trust me when I say, you'll make strong and meaningful relationships at university, and they may not be permanent either, but they'll last at least those three to four years. When you get to university look at the clubs and societies, talk to your class mates - these people are all guaranteed to share your interests and make fine friends. University is far less superficial than high school. In high school, everyone is concerned about who's popular and how to be the most liked. At university you don't have to try, people will just like you, for you, with no strings attached.

I am alone for the time cause I choose to be. I can be incredibly sad and feel garbage but that's no one but my own fault. I don't like to be polite when I have to answer to these kind of topics. Go make some friends. Bond and become best friends with someone. Who's stopping you? Yourself only. Sometimes i think i'm a piece of shit lmao. You are not getting anywhere if you believe no one can be your friends.

Oh gosh COLLEGE. The idea of it is stressing me out- it took me 5 years to make friends and now im gonna lose them, and have to try all over again. But im gonna try make this a fresh start- try and be confident i guess. And im sure if we all try we can make friends ^-^
