I never had any close friends either. Sometimes I would feel lonely, and sometimes I just didn't want to be around people - it was too energy consuming. I wish I had a couple of good friends though.

Oh, well...I think I'll stick to the library instead.

man i know how you feel i had no friends untill year 9 (my current year). Clubs will help, also keep a friend outside of school so you can talk to them when your lonely. i was lucky because there are a bunch of Asby's who are undiagnosed in my school that i am friends with. I just happened to meet them by chance. I hear it gets better when you get older and go to college/university. :wink:

I can relate to you entirely "NoNameGirl". School is painful.
I am 15 and dropped out of high school when I just turned 14, and went to a 1 term course for those who had mental/intellectual disabilities, because school was just too hard to cope with.

In my lunch breaks, I would walk around and around the high-school grounds aimlessly until my next class started. I couldn't stand people knowing that I was alone, so I walked aroung looking like I was looking for someone. Also I couldn't go up to people and join in their conversations, because I was clueless of how to maintain them.

I never had one friend in all of my school years, from when I was 5 years old, until I left. Those who I thought were my friends, were using me to do things that were socially un-acceptable. Such as telling someone that they were fat, or asking a teacher if they were a virgin (this did really happen). I was 6 years old at the time. I was completely oblivious to what was "the norm" and what was regarded as innapropriate. And because of this, I got into detention alot, for doing or saying things that I never knew were wrong.

But now that i've left school, all of that stuff is in the past. I am at my computing course now going for my level 3 National Certificate. I don't talk to the students, as they are all as narrow minded as those at school. But, I can concentrate better because it is only a group of 16, not as much noise.
When I get older and look back and see the once "high-school gangsters" as adults still working as a cashier at the age of 50, I will laugh.

Just think positive until you can get out of school. If you are old enough to leave, then if you want to, you should. Start a course on something you are interested in. Atleast at the course you will have people have the same interests as you, and you may be able to start, or join in with a conversation.

Same story here, almost in my senior year of high school and I still havnt magaged to make any close friends. not even in elementry or middle school which were my most rough years in education. It seems people once they're in highschool they just ignore me because they have their own drama to deal with and they're more mellowed-out. So, my goal for this year is to make sure it's memorable even though I already joined clubs and went to prom I still think it would be beneficial if I got more active in school and show the other students i'am worth being noticed. I have no fear of anybody anymore so I don't think it'll matter. like someone I know told me" if you keep thinking , oh thats the person who used to beat up on me or was mean they'll know you think of them that way and it won't help you be any braver it'll make you feel bad, it's better to ignore the thought of them and be happy with yourself and act like nothing else matters but what you're doing and you'll feel alot better about you if you're not thinking about what they did".

Im the same as well although i have friends now. I still feel lonely a lot. Its also a constant struggle to keep the friends you have. when i had no friends at all people took advantage of me... one guy pretended to be my friend for 5/6 years. In that time he threatened and warded off any friends i made, Spread secrets i told him around the school, and used to spread made up rumours. All of this went on behind my back but i found out after so long and got rid of him he and his friends now bully me whenever possible. You just have to keep going... mind you its also good to know your not the only person having problems.... :wink:

I never made any friends in college while getting my BA. I lived off campus though.

I’m exactly the same. I too don’t eat lunch at school because people lath at me when you are the only person in the school who eats alone. The most annoying thing is that teachers just expect you to have friends and when they say “I’ll be nice to day and let you pick you own groups” I fill with dread. I would always try and bunch gym because nobody would ever want to be my partner and I am always the last to be pick in whenever we are doing a team sport like football or baseball. It’s hard being alone but luckily you are only at school for a short time.

Hope things have gotten better for you girl! Keep going out, just to places you like and you will attract attention from other regulars. Lots of my dates just came from people saying, "Hey mind if I sit here? Always see you studying out here"... Trust me, life will get easier in college, once you're out of the house and on your own schedule etc.

The part is I barely have friends.
Most of the people I would meet would either hate me 100%, find me annoying, or would push me aside and tell me to go away in a nice way.
Now, I don't regret that because being alone can be one of the greatest experiences someone can have because of the fact that I have learned so much about myself though beign alone.
Then again, it's just from my point of view.

xboxboy, I would be positively delighted if a woman, preferrably attractive and with nice tatts, pushed me away and said, "Go away!" and meant it :P I would be delighted, of course I wouldn't go anywhere, and neither should you. But you should consider getting out more, being social takes practice, but I doubt you are a 'helpless' case, they're fairly rare to be honest from what I've seen. Socialization is like proving math theorems, the more you practice, the better you'll become at it.
