You have to have at least one bro you can call up. I mean just drive somewhere and find some new people. Shut off your brain is what I’m saying.

Yup, Shut that baby off and do something fun.
Are you suggesting that I think too much? Because I agree with you, I know I do, but turning off my brain just seems impossible.
Interestingly enough, being bored is a choice. Even alone people have many activities they can engage in to keep themselves occupied, such as writing; although it depends on the person ^^ Some people are more extroverted.
I’m pretty sure you’ll have a good chance to start over when you start college though. You have a chance to being fresh, make better friends, and enjoy yourself. Normally you can meet people you get along with well through friends of friends, so all that’s necessary is making one good friendship, essentially, and then being friendly with other people you meet. Although you can also start conversations with people randomly and make friends that way. For some reason, most people are friendly and like having others talk to them.

Well as someone that used to think to much let me tell you life is much better without it. Text the third viable person in your phone and drive to the next city over and have some fun, sugar. You don’t have to want to do it or not. Just actually to that and you’ll be good.
You’re right! Say what if I just texted every person in my phone once, what do you think lol? Don’t get me wrong I’m a bit timid/uptight, but I have some courage left.

I would love to talk to random people. I just wish I could be in the right place to do so, such as an event or something specific. I don’t just want to be on the streets saying “hey” to random people, that’s just odd. However, you make a valid point boredom really is a choice… I’m in a mood where I want to do something fun, like go outside and play lol with someone.
This is kind of why I question whether I’m an introvert/extrovert because I like hanging with people, I don’t really like being by myself anymore. Yet, people exhaust me and I need a break sometimes. I’ve had a break for a few days though, and now I want to go celebrate or something. I mean I could draw, or write, but I’m not in that kind of mood EVER anymore.

Do it. Hell. What’s the worst that could happen? Someone will call you crazy? Then what? Then they’d just identify themselves as someone that wouldn’t be up for skydiving. Go out to a bar go up to what ever person looks like they have something to say and say hi. Then go sky diving. Just reminded me. Man it’s a buzz.
Well I’m not old enough yet to go to a bar or go skydiving but……. I do plan on trying both of those things :D
That’s often helped by having similar activities that you are involved with people in and can bond over. For example, clubs at college, sports, drama enthusiasts meetings, whatever. =P It gives an excuse to start a conversation with someone. It’s surprising how many organizations are devoted to peoples’ interests, actually, and it’s possible to find people with similar interests through them, I believe. I’ve never tried it, but… I’m sure it’s theoretically possible, heh.
Probably the line between introversion and extroversion blurs a lot. Everyone gets a lot of help from at least a little human contact to some extent, although different people have different desires about how long they want to be in social situations. So what you are or a label for you doesn’t matter as much as focusing on the results ^^

I have the biggest urge to hang out!
But there is no where to go, nothing to do, and no one to hang out with. This could be my fault (I’ve burned many bridges) but, THIS is so frustrating! I let go of a lot of relationships for good reason yet, I’m the one suffering for doing so. Now this is not to say I have no friends/aquaintances at all these days, because I do. However, I find it hard relating to most of them, and I literally only hang out with one… I can’t keep hanging out with the same person, because she has a job/other friends, but also because it’s really no fun! We don’t really have the same interests, so I don’t really enjoy myself with her anyways.
I think this is where my problem lies: I’ve never really had a group of friends, just that one main friendship that I kept trying to build. So after a friendship like that ended I had like no one left, basically having to start over. I pretty much have continued to repeat the cycle after that. And It’s been like that from Elementary through High School, except after I lost one good friend (Junior year) I haven’t been able to make any others, which really sucks. Grrrrrrr! I really want to start off on the right foot this summer! I haven’t been to a real party in like 2 years! I’m trying to do something memorable! And with College coming up this fall and I fear that my lack of social stimulation will probably be a hinderance to my communication skills. I mean it already shows, I’m a little shy/awkward but luckily nothing too major… yet. I just wish I had something to do or someone to talk to… God! I just get sooo bored!!!!!!!

Do a show then. Total buzz. Anyone can do it. Wait. Anyone can do skydiving too.

Well I just came back home from orientation, and they had multiple sign ups. I signed up for everything I could! Plus there’s more I have to look out for coming up soon. I don’t remember what the date is that all the sports teams and the rest of the clubs have their sign up but, I will figure it out, and when I do I’m signing up for as much as I like. I mean everyone there seemed so nice, and so fun I can’t wait to get situated. Right now I feel like I’m stuck in a hole…
That makes sense. At least the future is pretty well secured though and you’ll have a lot of good opportunities then. So I guess it’s just that you need to deal with the situation in the meantime while you’re waiting? It can be hard to be patient, hmm…
You’re feeling the need to get out and hang out with pretty much anyone, so the Anonymous responder here has some good encouragement. Just ask anyone if they want to hang out. If they don’t want to, so what?
It’s also possible that you could get involved in some organizations apart from school that have already started and are ongoing right now. For example, if I wanted I could go to the library near my house and join several clubs and activities. They even play chess, which is cool.
