pointless

[fxtnt]

god..... i feel like im absolutely nothing. i have no friends just people i hang out with to try to be normal. everyone thinks im shy but no one ever really stops to talk to me. i am extremely lonely. i have no idea whats happened. i used to be happy and content, but now my life seems pointless. why cant i be myself? i hate feeling this way.

:hug: it gets better I promise, you're not absolutely nothing, having people you just hang around with is pretty common really, most of my 'friends' were like that until I left high school, now I pretty much only have one friend from that hell hole. Maybe you could try and talk to them? Show them you're not shy and you do want to have a conversation, someone will want to listen, but you're never alone Jake, and life is never pointless. Breaking out of a shell is really hard but once you manage it it feels so much better

Just to add onto her very good response. You might also want to look for friends that are relateable. It's always easier to start conversations that way.
