I know, at school during lesson time I would often work in the library after getting notes from my teachers, I remember doing so and still doing so-getting really upset at weekends knowing people my age were going out with thier friends to the pictures,park,into town ect whereas I was stuck indoors by myself, I do believe things get better when it comes to college though :)

My problem is similar but nawt as bad. I have like...3 GOOD friends/my BF in dee school and 4 aqantainces. Thats 6 people total, I wud be happy wif that if I saw dem more.

I see my BF every morning, after school for 5 mintues, and one lunch. I see two people often, Timmy && Katie. Ting wif Timmy is he gets distracted easily and these group of chicks get his attention more because they need help wif school work or after school tings. Dee other three, I see all of them once or twice a week for lunch. So it usually feels like I am alone. I only feel not alone in my period three class and a few lunches.

I know mine sounds really lame compared to yours but if you need someone to talk to, I'm here =D.

Hmm, i remember having a hard time getting a spot at the cafetaria....then i found one and no one else would take it ^^;

In High school this changed a bit... It started with me being lonely like most people, but i found a group of people from my classes and kinda latched onto it <.< After a while it was ok for me to go eat in the same room they'd go to (the student's newspaper, which was a mess XD )

In University, back to square one, at least the student's cafe for my department isn't too bad... I come there to do my readings most of the time, so they're getting silently used to me.

I had one friend throughout all of high school (a great friend, at that). The rest of my social group considered me to be a gigantic idiot/loser/fa***t/any other derogatory word. I still only have one real friend (same guy from HS) and I'm going to graduate college this semester. We have basically nothing in common anymore, yet still hang out quite a bit. Of course I have plenty of acquaintances at my university and I even have a band, but I don't really know these people.

It's okay to have only one or two friends in school, as I have only one and he is okay with me for now.:)

#1. Post your recent picture on HotOrNot.com to see exactly where you stand with others when it comes to first impressions. (I did. It was poor scores of below 6s at first but I learned what to do and how to improve it; now I've gotten over 8.5 of 10.)

#2. Does anyone say you smell? Ask your family members if you smell awful. That would make a big difference in your social life as well. If I wake up 10 minutes before class but need to shower, I'd rather skip class than walk in without having showered any day. I used to not do that, but I care about my social stance pretty well now.

I didn't want people to bother me, and I wanted to engage in conversation with people about my interests. However, I would have actually preferred to sit alone at lunch and take some downtime.

I do have a few special friends I keep in touch with from Nova Scotia (where I lived until 2002). I don't have any close friends in Alberta but am close enough to my family that it doesn't matter.

I also have people (not peers) who are very supportive of me and believe in me (professors, my psychiatrist etc.). These individuals aren't my "buddies" but they are special to me.

I had a couple of friends when I was younger but most of the time I am/was completely isolated and alone. I have no friends and I am so used to other people my age ignoring me that before when one person would actually say hello to me(very rare) I struggled to say anything back. When I was at school full-time I sat mostly alone in a room to eat and spend break in. When I used to think about it it embarressed and depressed me. I am not at school full-time anymore and I can't wait to finish. I am looking into volunteering and maybe taking a extra(outside school) class so that I may make some friends. I honestly dread the thought of going to college or sixth-form and being in the same situation of almost complete isolation. I would really like some friends to regularly hang out with and talk to. Although right now I have no friends or even aquaitences. It is a main point of failure, depression and frustration in my life which I hope once I finish my current school will change.

I have friends, but not too many CLOSE friends....In college it's like three!!

They are who I spend most of my time with and unfortunately, they aren't women.

Hoping that will change someday :)

I also have problems eating in the cafe. Many people are polite and whoosh me away "sorry, were done eating!"

*sigh* So I usually just find a seat and depending on the people they might say hello, or I just quickly eat and leave. :cry:
