same problem here, i go to a small highschool which i have been goin to for about 6 months i have a small group of friends and have trouble making new frineds
when im intoruduced to new people (something my friends have to do because i cant do it my self) im never really able to socialaize with them afterwards and people think ima bitch because when they do talk to me i alwasy reply with the most simple of answers yes, no, or i juss nod my head

i have not yet made any new friends at that school when i think about how long I've been going there i die a little inside
it gets worse some times i just rather ditch school and go to the library where i know people don't talk as much
when i am in class i have to be sitting on the back row and it has to be on one end of the side, which leaves only two available seats for me
we don't have seating charts and are free to sit where we please
so when i walk into class and see that those seat are taken,
I'm like damn...
my only choice now is to walk out the class room and leave the school i
usually whisper to the teacher and tell him or her
" peace... I'm Going to hell " (hell meaning home)

and people are like wtf , this weirdo...

Me too I rolled with a group, it felt like we were a gang lol. I felt safe around them cause that way I blended into the group when we went out.

People didn't say, look at HIM. They said, look at THEM. I liked being a THEM and not a HIM.

But now, I lost that group, and I'm on my own, and it's not the same. I need a group to belong to or I'm nothing. So that's what I am now, NOTHING.

BTW, Is this what AvPD is?? I'm a bit naive to what this really is. So maybe I could have this too? Good to know, thanks for posting. I relate a lot.

Throughout highschool, I had a very small group of friends that I hung out with and I pretty much didn't even talk to anyone else.



Although that person changed when I moved or changed schools, my experience was that in different stages I usually had one close friend. To the extent I socialized with others, they were people I was with because of my one close friend -- they were my friend's friends.

Somehow that seemed to work better when I was a student. As an adult, I have never had such a close friend and I feel that the people who I believe would identify me as a friend are really just acquaintances. They know me from work or some place else, but they don't hang around with me, or do anything with me. I have tried to cultivate some friendships, but I guess I am used to having a best friend, and the adults in my life are more accustomed to having a loose group of friends. To me they seem to flit from person to person, but they seem happier than I am.
