Lonely ;(

[Caver]

Lately I've been feeling lonely, I'm 13 and at school I find it hard to communicate, although I have a few friends. I have an "online" life which is starting to get lonely too. I feel like I need some new friends but I just don't find it easy, either online or in real life.
I have big dreams ahead of me and in my geography class a teacher began to notice I didn't feel comfortable as half the people in the group I didn't know and was finding it hard to work in a group. I've been feeling sad and feel like a chat! On MSN or anywhere.
Anyone? ;3

Aye, I can relate. I had a lot of friends at school but when I left nearly all of us drifted apart, for about two months I felt so lonely; I started hating playing Xbox because to me it became something that was useless and something I did instead of doing anything that actually moved my life along, which I'd never felt before; procrastinating had always been so fun, not something that got me frustrated with myself for doing it. I then got back into the world of education though and made a large group of new friends; that horrible feeling of loneliness is gone now but I still get small waves of loneliness every now and than if I don't speak to any mates for a few days.

Trust me, this is just one of these things you go through; I've spoken to a lot of friends about it and most of them admitted to being lonely at some point, whether it be generally at school, at home and even during the holidays. Personally I would just see if your currant group of friends want to get together and do something every now and than, whether it be cinema or studying, I don't bloody know, anything that gets you socially closer. The closer your friends are, the less lonely you feel, at least in my personal experience.

If you're particularly good at geography or any lesson really you could help somebody you think might make a decent friend out in class if your already finished and their still working; everyone appreciates having someone smart and friendly in their group; get on friendly terms with only one person and you'll always have someone you can join a group with and can talk to in that class, people tend to be friendlier/more open to someone who is already liked by someone else.

I got by my whole school career because my best mate was considered one of the coolest kids; thus I nearly always had a spot in every group and always had a large group of people who were friendly (sometimes overly so) towards me just because they knew he liked me, and the only thing I had on my side was my shitty humor and a troublesome behavior issue that makes you cool in school until you reach the age where everyone starts taking shit serious, lol.

Basically, if you're as smart and friendly as you come across here in school, you'll have no problem making a couple of friends in any class you want if you just build up the confidence to be a tad more sociable. I found it hard too, but trust me, a brief thirty second boost of confidence and a couple of sentences to someone in class can start up the road to a long, fun and friendly relationship.

Whoa, sorry, I kind of got into a rant and majorly over complicated your original post, lol; hope you don't mind my sometimes shitty attempt(s) at giving advice. I hope you find more happiness in your social life ASAP; good luck. :) Feel free to drop me a mail anytime, I'm more than likely bored, the nights are slow and I love talking/typing.
