Wow, even the title sounds desperate... ^^"
Hello! I go by xSuperMario64x on this forum. A bit of personal info about me... I am a 17 year old female, and I live in the midwestern United States. Starting on August 22, I will officially be a Senior in High School.
The reason why I came here was to ask a question about making friends. See, I am a very socially-awkward person. I have been that way ever since I was very, very young. I actually have social anxiety to the point where the thought of meeting a new person or going somewhere new makes me have small panic/anxiety attacks. I hate being this way, especially since, in a year, I will be off to college. I don't want to be that person, the one that nobody likes. I have heard from my brother, who was a social butterfly in my school, that people don't talk to me because they think I am stuck-up and that I have no interest in them. The real issue is, I am afraid of rejection, because I have elt rejected so many times, and I don't want to feel that again.
How do others manage to make friends without sounding super awkward or desperate? You could say I need to have confidence. And, to be honest, some days I have a LOT of confidence, and I try to talk to people, but somehow it still doesn't work out. It's like they crave to talk to people who are always social, the people who always want to talk, even when they shouldn't.
My parents and teachers tell me that I will do a lot better in college, because everyone there is there to learn. I am going to college to study music, which is a big added bonus for me. But I still have to *suffer* through my Senior year of high school... I can barely even manage to make friends on here! I don't even know where to start!
Can somebody please help me? I think that having only like 2 friends that share my interests is depriving my heart of the love it needs... <\3 it's hard to be friends with people I can't connect with. They're more like... Acquaintances.
