I am a 9th grader. I am overweight (not obese i think but i am on the heavier side) and have acne. I have 2-4 people I can call friends. I have never been to a party, i have not done much that is crazy. Whenever I am around people I worry about being boring and I find it hard to know what is socially "acceptable". I am pretty sure I have dyspraxia (always been terrible at anything requiring motor skills) and i have "brain farts" a lot. It seems like I don't care or just stupid but I just take longer to get some things because of it.
I am worried I am wasting my life away. I just sit in my room and watch youtube and shit all day. Occasionally I will go to a friends house or to the movies. But I feel empty. I feel like everyone else is living a life that I am missing. Like I am completely in my own world and don't know if I can navigate the real one. Like I feel like I should be out doing shit with friends in the neighborhood or something and having fun. But I don't really have friends that live in my neighborhood I always feel so damn awkward and out of touch.
I guess my question is, what did you do in your teen years (or if you are a teen what do you do now) and how do you find happiness in life? And what would be your advice for me?
