It happens again!

Hi, guys!

I've been really sad and lonely all summer because I realised that I haven't got much true friends. I think there are more reasons for that.
1) I haven't got Facebook and all my classmates have.
2) I'm a little bit shy and unconfident.
3) I'm pretty serious and maybe boring to some people.
There are more possible reasons, but these are the most important. I'm a little bit depressed because I don't know much people from the other classes, too. What should I do? Should I invite some people out after school? How could I become funny (people probably like it)?

Just be yourself really, dont try to be funny to please others.
I guess you could creat Facebook , it wouldn't hurt but try going out with them after classes. Start talking more with them, ask them what they like and stuff like that.

1) I wouldn't worry about not having facebook, not many actually use it any more. If you want to have one, just make an account.

2) Try and boost that confidence, do things out of your comfort zone. If you do that, you'll most likely end up being more extroverted. There is nothing wrong being shy though, just try and ease yourself out of that box.

3) Seriousness is needed sometimes, people don't like immaturity all the time. Plus, don't drastically change yourself for someone to like you.

If you want to invite people out after school, go for it you have nothing to lose. Keep talking to new people too, new people every day may help.

I've always basically had the same problem. I've just never fit in and I've always been withdrawn. What I'm trying to do these days is be as friendly as possible. I'm still really quiet, but I make an effort to look people in the eye and give them a smile and at least say hi. I think that's what's most important to people, is that you come off as a genuinely nice person. Try to keep it simple. Good luck to you. :)

1. Facebook is the biggest joke, ever. It's not even a cool thing anymore. You're better off :P

2. Same. Try to make that work to your advantage.

3. I don't think anyone's truly "boring". I'm sure you're very interesting.

If you're lonely, use the internet to your advantage. I recommend tumblr :lol:

Well, I have a facebook account, but never use it. Or any other social account either.
Some of my friend think that is weird, but they can think what they want.
I prefer to be friendly to everyone I see. It is really hard sometimes, as I might not like them. But I do it anyway.
I can be kinda shy, but am working through that. And trying to be friendly and speak to everyone has really help with that.
I am serious as well, but have toned it down some. I realize that I am just a kid, and need to have some fun sometimes, instead of always being so serious. I am still working on that, but my bf says I am doing much better.

Don't break your back to fit in, just find a few guys you want to be friend with, and try extra hard to fit in with them. It is working for me, and maybe it will work for you. True good friends will be there for you no matter what!

Facebook isnt so bad and alot of ppl are on it. It couldnt hurt to get on there an hour a day. Just sayin

[Slippers]

It's tough being introverted and shy. I'm the same and I really don't like it for similar reasons as you. Others feel that you're being cold or unfeeling but in reality you crave to fit in and just lack the skills to do so. I personally hide away during the summer months - refrain from venturing outside too much because of the millions of contented and happy people. To be honest the only remedy for your predicament is to speak to people regularly until you find somebody that you connect with.

What are your interests and hobbies? Try to find a school group or a club somewhere for it. This will give you something in common with the other people around you which makes it easier to find something to talk about.
