Like seriously, my family kicked me out and i have no friends, NOONE knows me!! What am i gonna do?? Do i even want to know people? This is really abnormal right?

I don’t know, do you want to know people? And abnormal? Not really. Most people have a few million myspace friends but don’t know that many people in real life. You say you’re going to college - well try avoiding people there, I couldn’t so I dropped out.

It’s not abnormal ^.^ There’s a ton of people at college so don’t worry! When you do go you’ll meet a lot of new people.

Its not abnormal at all. I had a few good friends in highschool, and since graduation we all went our seperate ways. Mainly because we all got so caught up in our own bullshit that we couldnt look outside of ourselves to even help each other. Or to stop being selfish, and really try to just be there, and try understand what one another was going through. My point being; people, most of them anyways, are fake! Half of them only want to be your friend when times are good, or when they can get something out of you. Like to use your car, or a safe place to do drugs. Ive come to realize that people are evil, conniving, and selfish. Im more happy being alone, than having tons of friends. Because in the end your only really trying to do what makes them happy, and not what satisfies you. And more often than not youll find yourself constantly worried about what they think of you, or what you can do to make yourself better in their eyes instead of your own. If you happen to meet a genuine, kind, understanding person, hold on to them for as long as you can. If not o well. The only person you really have is yourself in the long run. So focus on that, and if its meant to be, the right things will come to you when YOU need them. As for college? **** em, your there to learn, not to win a popularity contest (like highschool).

It i snot abnormal! Im going to college soon where i will know no one, and i see it as a good thing, you can make new friends. Just because you don thave anyone atm doesnt mean you wont meet new people, ofcourse you will! Socialise, start talking with those on your course on the first day, thats my plans, be friendly. You will make lots of new friends, and then you wont even know what all this worry was about!

Good luck and remember be yourself!

When I left my exhusband I lost everything, my family, friends..you name it! They all bought into the lies and nonsense and it was hard to even want to build relationships again, but I did. A year later and I have some of the best friends a gal could hope for. Better than before!

It isn’t abnormal and soon you will look back on today and think, booyah! Those people sucked and I am doing better today than I ever have. Trust me.

Even people with a lot of friends feel lonely, some more than others. I would suggest two things if you truly want to “meet people”… 1) Get a hobby. It doesn’t have to be an extravagant or expensive hobby. You could go play pool or start working out or take up photography or something else you might be interested in. 2) You could be a volunteer. I started volunteering for a local food bank and it is so rewarding because you’re really doing something that helps other people with no monetary gain, only the good feeling you get from doing a good deed. Plus, you meet tons of other people that have the same good nature to help others. If you’re really shy you could volunteer doing something that doesn’t involve meeting a lot of people like cleaning a local park or re-shelving books at the local library… figure out what your options are in your area. If my suggestions sound lame it’s probably because they are very general as I don’t know much about you. Anyway, good luck!
