How do you meet people? (warning: lots of whining) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 01-20-2007, 12:30 AM

I'm socially ********. I have no life, I never do anything and I've never had a boyfriend because I don't know how to meet or talk to people. I never do anything with my friends because I don't know how to ask people to do things. How do you meet people? I can't just go up to someone randomly. That's out of the question, that makes people think you're weird especially in highschool. They give you that God damn look. How do you talk to people? Wtf do you say? How you make people like you? How do you get people to tell you their ****ing numbers like my dumbass little sister? How do you even live a life? Is it because I'm in front of this damn computer? How do you fix your social skills? Seriously. Because I know people will respond and be like oh well all you do is go up to people and say hi I'm so and so. Yeah ****ing right. It's not that easy. Obviously I might as well just kill myself if this is the damn sad, lonely life I'm going to be living because I'm sick and tired of not being able to do stuff like other people. There's no way I'll ever have anyone. ANd don't anyone say you're here to talk to me because it's not the same. This is the internet you can't be happy with people solely off the internet. I have no one. If I weren't such a chicken I'd probably have killed myself by now. Thanks bye.

im kind of having the same probelm as you...but i dont know, i would just try to like...i know it sounds cheesy, but just be yourself, you dont have to go and approach someone with random babell, just say things you normally would...and chances are SOMEONE out there will like it, and phuc the people who dont.

but yeah you dont go to random people and say hi, doesnt work, you just have to kind of make yourself noticed instead of just...hiding.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 01-20-2007, 12:37 AM

Thanks, but that doesn't work. I am myself. Everyone thinks I'm weird obviously no one cares enough to talk to me more.

well i dont know, all i can say is that in a year you'll be in college and it's a fresh start, by senior year of high school everyone already has their friends. but yeah soon you'll be in college and it might be different. so if it doesnt work now..it might in college. cause no one knows anyone there and people don't have friends or cliques already.

obviously not because my sister talks to guys all the time and shes 15, fact she's on the phone doing it right now. I hate her.

i'm sorry, ashlee. me and you are riding along in similar little boats. unfornately i don't have any productive answers to your questions because i've got a nice batch of social problems myself.

but yeah - high school is bull****. just find a couple people you can semi-relate with and be yourself around them. **** everyone else.

she's just a different kind of person, and in a few years it'll probably be a BAD thing. fact is, the clique your in during high school isnt ever going to make a difference.

and as for having a boyfriend, 17 is still kind of too young for that. you shouldnt just be like "OMG LOOK AT THIS GUY HES MY BOYFRIEND CAUSE I RANDOMY FOUND HIM AND I WANNA LOOK COOL LZOZLZL

!!!!!!" it should be someone you REALLY love. im not saying you cant be in love at 17 but if your not in love at 17 you shouldnt really be worried.

still, i feel your pain, im kind of going through the same thing right now. it sucks, but eh :/ like i said, maybe college will be better.

I'm sick of what I have, though. It's ****.

I disagree. 17 is definately not too young. That's the age you're supposed to be dating. It's not young at all. 14 is young. 17 isn't. It's just a big age gap for three years. I'm so ****ed up seriously. I can't see that changing because it's not a highschool problems, it's my own personal problems.

good friends? they're nothing like me, I get miserable around them because I feel so awkward. They're these nerdy little over achievers who hang out with nerdy guys I have no interest in whatsoever. I don't care if that makes me sound like a bitch. I'm not happy with what I have and I'm miserable whether or not its for a good reason.

If I don't start practicing now I'm going to have major issues later. That's why kids date, it's basically practice. They might think its love but its just practice. I'll never have that. I'll be so lost when I finally do find someone that it'll just get all screwed up.
