Hi everyone!
So I use to have a lot of friends before my social anxiety started getting worse then around the 7th and 8th grade I simply just stopped talking to them, moved away, and ignored everyone who has tried to contact me (not to be mean though, I think I came to a realization that my relationships were shallow and people are fickle) I'm a junior now and have gone about 3 years with no friends, maybe just 1, whom I rarely see, and up until just lately I was completely fine with it. I enjoyed the company of just myself and wasn't always like everyone else so I thought I couldn't fit in anywhere anyway, and that was okay with me, I thought I was free in some way. Just recently I started this alternative school (I don't talk to/avoid anybody/ everybody there, & I think they think I'm stuck up for that, I feel like a massive **** :/) But for some reason all of the sudden I want to have friends. I feel more lonely now and like I need human companionship or I will go crazy! I don't understand because I've never felt this way, I felt like I could go my whole life with no one but it's just not that way now. It's also embarrassing how everyone knows I don't talk to anyone I feel like I have a reputation for being a weird loser.... mg: ... does anyone have any suggestions? or can relate to any of this?
thanks for reading.
