Sometimes i really hate summer, feeling lonely

Post Reply New Topic

You know summers a great thing when it comes to not having to do schoolwork, but i always hate it because i get really lonely. I mean, there were so many people in school who i could talk to and i was starting to become friends with, but now that summers here im just trapped in a house for 3 months with nothing to do or talk to. See my moms an epileptic and my dad works for weeks at a time, so i have no transportation to go soemewhere and if i wanted to have a party here well, then you gotta buy refreshments and stuff which i cant do.Anyone else feel lonely when summer comes around, do you have any advice?

You mean you actually do have friends at school? Well, at least you have people you can talk to for 9 months in a year.

Similar situation here. While I've started to have some friends (real friends, I would even say) AT school the last four years, I've almost no contact with them at evenings and weekends. I have become able to make friends it seems, but I still have big difficulties keeping friends and developing friendships futher. I have no contact almost with my few but good friends from high school which i finished last year, for instance. So I'm mostly alone all of summer.

But probably it could be much worse, becuz I do have a nice family to celebrate christmas with, go out hiking 2-3 weeks in summer etc with. So I guess I shouldn't complain far too loudly.

I know how you feel. I don't have too many friends either, so I usually get through the summer by spending an excessive amount of money on concerts and travelling.
This summer I need to save up for living expenses in the Autumn though, since I'm starting to study and moving out, so I plan to make at least the first part of the summer go by by cycling to the gym every day and excersizing for a couple of hours.
Then I also have plans to finish a book I'm working on.

It can be fairly lonely, but I'm used to it, not having anyone to go out with for the past 4 years, and having social phobia and anxieties about being outdoors for two of those. However, things may be different this time around.

hey man i feel you. At age 15, my summers were like what you describe. When you turn 16 you can get a job and save up for a car, then u can go anywhere you want! thats what i did.

Do you talk with your friends through MSN, texting or facebook? If not, they can serve as ways in which you can keep in touch during the summer. Ask them for their contact info.

I feel like that too, especially starting this year. I started homeschooling, and I pretty much cut myself off from all the people I used to talk to. I certainly wasn't a social butterfly before, but I had around 8-10 people that were likely to approach me and say hey at some time during the school day. I am currently trying to restart my social life by talking to more people I used to be close(ish) to on Facebook, but it doesn't seem to be working much. I'm also very afraid of the thought of driving a car, so when the time comes for me to get a permit I have no idea what I'm going to do.

I complety get it! The few friends I sorta had wouldnt txt me. I always had to be the first to email and txt and call them. Every timr I tried to hang out with themthey never wanted to. So now I'm having a pretty friendless summer and I didn't do any thing but try and be a good friend to all of them.

Me too! I am sooooo bored with summer. I should have gotten a job, oh well. College is soon. As for ways to pass time, that is why the internet is here. I know some other sites if you are lonely and want to make friends...but a warning, they are addicting.

This makes no sense to me. Are you sure you people are aspies? I can't wait to be alone.

It's quiet, calm, I'm finally happy.
