life help: I have no direction in life. - Help.com

wow, I know what you mean in a way…have you tried talking to that girl you really like?

then you can just can just be there for her….i know its one of the hardest things to do but still..what else is going on?

I’m with Dr Ralph on this one. Resolve your issues with your friend, and if you can’t, find a new friend. I wouldn’t worry too much on only having had 2 gfs, when I was your age - I’d only had 1. Varsity changes everything! =) If you like a girl, go for it! It’s a lot easier to look back and say you failed, than to wonder what would have happened if you tried. That said, if you are feeling miff or down, maybe it is just better to stay friends at the moment - until you feel a little more secure about yourself. Do things that will improve your self image, work on your strengths. Sport is generally a great 1! If you are useless at sports (like me), running is a fantastic option! It is purely practise, and after a month or so - you will be the best runner that you know! That will give you more confidence, and everything improves from there. 18 is a hard time, you are still trying to find your feet. Identify your long term goals and work towards them! What you do today will have an impact in the future! Good luck there, and stay strong!

I’m much the same. I know nobody in my class at university - I was always rather shy. But, there are ways around it. Sit down next to and chat to somebody. Look for somebody who also looks lonely, or not very talkative. If, for example, I was at your college and I came up and spoke to you - how would you react? That will give you an indication on how another person will feel! Find common ground, ask a question “do you find this class is really similar to economics?” Chat to somebody you don’t feel intimidated by.

In regards to the gf, my personal experience has been - concentrate on getting yourself 100% before looking to get into a relationship. It’s cliched and easier said than done, but if you were to get into a relationship now, you would either mess it up by being too needy, or if it failed - you would be absolutely devastated because you had allowed it to define your life. I hope that helps bro!
