I Have No Friends

I've lived in Colorado for a year and a half now. I moved from Texas as many of you probably know. I guess I just felt like talking about my situation. Coming into the move I took everyone's advice of going in positively and not trying to be a recluse. Well, I'm not the most outgoing although I will talk to people I don't know (like in class) when I'm in a small situation where I can small-talk. I wouldnt ever shout out anything funny in these kinds of situations with a classroom full of people I don't know. I just can't make much progress anymore. Last year was much better where I every once in a while would talk in a group of people. Now I can't do shit. I don't really try anymore. I'll look for a situation, but I never try very hard. I usually just sit quietly doing whatever or listening to my iPod. It sucks so much when teachers tell us to get in groups of 2-4. Ugh.

I've had little success. I hung out with 2 girls who were also new last year at lunch time, but thats all. They saw me eating alone one day in the cafeteria which I will NEVER do again. I did that for about a week which was the toughest week of my life. Then the hot girl I liked most finally made real friends whom she ate with the last semester last year. So I went off on my own again. I even made friends with a senior who graduated last year. I didnt really see him a ton though. got a little weed which was nice. We even had someone from texas who was 21 live with us that whole 1st year and we became really good friends, but he left in the past month which reaaallllyyy sucks. I was really comfortable in my first semester spanish class which was really nice. I would talk to a few guys and would even make the class laugh...something I loved doing in Texas.

The end of last year and this year totally sucks. I go home most of the time for a 15 minute lunch and then drive back. Other times I'll get taco bell and sit in my car or go deposit a check or something.
I just cant wait until one more year and a half till I plan to room with a friend from texas. I'm 95% sure we'll go through with that.

When I look at the things I've done it doesnt look so terrible. But I now have no one to hang out with and I always spend weekends at home. I somehow bare through it. Trig doesn't help either. Thank God for Xbox Live where I can talk and play with 2 or 3 friends and also Full Tilt Poker.

 

Dayum

 

The only advice i can give you is to just wait it out till you move. I know exactly how you feel being in an extremely similar situation.

 

i have no friends either.. dont complain.. life is easier this way

 

Im like that in one of my classes. It's mainly because I'm a year older then everyone in the class becasue I failed it last year. The other kids are all preppy fags and shit, one time the teacher put me in a group because we had to make our own political parties. The kids in my group wanted to legalize gay marriage and I wanted to cause trouble so I said that I wouldn't allow it while I'm in the group and the teacher got all pissed off and tried to make a scene about how I'm intollerant.

So I became my own party and used this as my logo

The teacher was an idiot and didn't even know what it was.

 

I certainly am waiting it out. It sure would be better with weed. I'm aiming for some this weekend.

It's funny, a guy at my work over christmas break was talking to me when he found out about me moving that he went through stuff like this at my same school. Then I basically led on that I'm going through that stuff now; eating in my car and crap.
Then he said it all changed after 1st semester junior year after christmas break which is where I'm at right now.
He said nothing was better than that last year ad a half.
It was really ironic.

 

they ask you on the job assessment questions, committing to close friends usually lets you down in the long run

I lie and say no, but I mean hell yes!
oh well....

 

I said I wasn't complaining or I hope that wasnt what you thought this thread was about. Just rambling.
Cranky, are you in high school still?

 

bro im trippin too hard to tel you anything

if yore near glenwood pm me

 

Tussin?

 

I'm not really asking for advice, although it would be nice. (Rhymes).

 

honestly.. it might be in the way you present yourself.. don't expect to be aproached if you have earphones on.. you're just digging your whole deeper by isolating yourself. If you're able to admit that you're not trying enough than why not try harder? What's the worst that could happen?

 

Yeah I was going to include this response in my original post.
I've tried that and I don't even have my headphones in that much. I wouldn't use my headphones a lot when I could have the opportunity to socialize. I just don't see that as the problem. Seeing as I don't hardly care anymore about making friends here, that doesnt really matter now.

 

I had a similar experience at university. i'm still not in the happyest of places to be honest, i've got some smoking buddies and acquaintances that may be slowly becoming friends, but no one i can really get all heart to heart to. most of my socializing in high school was done through my best friend (he had all the social skills) and now that I'm on my own i'm like uhhhhhhhh....hi?

 

I;m pretty excited.. my best friend that moved back to missouri is gonna be moving back up here this summer.. him and his gf are having a kid and they want to be back close to family so that their parents can be grandparents.. its gonna be nice to have someone that i can talk to about anything again

 

Happy for ya.

 

with a name like Popularity.. you;d think you'd have friends.. :cheers2:

 

LOL

 

hahahaha

 

if you still are on xbox live, hit me up, im sure ur on my list still. But I had the same thing at the university I went to... bunch of assholes who had friend groups pre established and were against weed ect..... hang in there
