I don’t have any close friends.

You know, those kind you spent all your days in high school with and you never forget? I don’t have any of those. I long so deeply to have a friend or two, no, at least one, who I can spend all my time with, share all my moments with, laugh, sigh, moan, complain, rejoice, spend my friday afternoons with. I wish I had one of those kinds of friends that people get while they’re in high school, but I don’t have any. Why don’t I have any of those kinds of friends? Why does it seem like I’m all alone? Why does it feel like so much is missing even though I know I have so much?

Are your high school days over? or is there still time?
if you stay open-minded and friendly, you can still make a close friend, don’t worry…you’re never alone!

I am still in high school, I’m a sophomore. But what do you mean by ‘open minded’ and ‘friendly’? I feel like I know people and people talk to me some, but but I’ve never felt close enough to assuredly call them a ‘friend’, much less a ‘best friend’. What does it take to get to that extra step?

Don’t put so many barriers on friendships…so many labels…just let it flow…

If you can’t find any friends in school, then try to find some that live near where you live. May not be the same as the ones in school but it’s better that nothing.

I felt like that my freshman year and I am a junior now. I do have a close friend not and I worked really hard to be friends with her. Start by talking to someone you have stuff in common with. Try asking them to hang out and then over time a friendship should develop.
