Why can't I have friends?

Post Reply New Topic

WHY? It's so unfair. My brother has friends, but I don't. But he goes to school, whereas I sit at home and play video games all day. What is Berserker to do...

Well, you have to actually go out and go places, if you're wanting to meet new people.

But there's nowhere to go in Murray Bridge, that's the problem.

No one can meet real people playing video games.

Go to a coffee shop, buy a cup of coffee, and start talking to someone. You might get a lot of weird looks, and a lot of turn downs, but it's a start. That's how you meet people. Go to church group functions. You don't have to be the life of the party. You just have to show up and smile a little. Who knows. You might even meet a (gasp) girl!

luck.

There's no coffee shops here. And I'm a girl...

Why not go to school as well?

I'm not allowed to go to school.

Why not?

Because, the school doesn't want me.

Why doesn't the school want you?

I have a short temper, and I hurt people when angered.

There's no point in going back. I'm supposed to be in year 12 this year, which is my last year of high school. And I'm not going back to special-ed... That was a nightmare.

Can you get into a community college or something?

Nope, we don't have one in town.

Beserker,

I keep watching you painfully going round and round in circles. You want out but you can't get out but you want out .... etc..

I really feel for you.

You've gotta talk this through with someone, your nan or someone else because you'll go insane if you can't resolve it.

I don't know how old your brother is but eventually he's going to finish school and move out (I can't see why he'd stay in Murray Bridge if he was old enough to escape). When that happens, the loneliness is going to be dangerously oppressive - you have to talk to someone before it gets to that.
