I have a hard time making friends
88% Normal
3 Comments

Ever since I was freshman in high school (I'm a senior now) I have had a difficult time hanging out with people after school. In school, I'm fine; I talk to people, be myself (so please don't give me that advice)and act friendly. I have several times met with people after school, but I don't feel like I "connect" with them.
I don't know if I am choosing the wrong friends or what, but for example one night I watched a movie with some other kids and I felt as if they didn't care if I was there or not. Maybe it's just me being picky? Am I supposed to give it more time to connect with them more?
I also get this feeling that everyone I would like to be friends with already has all the friends they need, and if they were to never see me again they wouldn't really care.
I'm not really asking if this is normal, maybe if anyone has some advice they could give me.
Do you think it's normal?

No trust me I am totally like that now. I have sort of learnt my lesson, you could say. In the past I have chosen the complete wrong friends, they were horrible to me and actually called me bad names just because I was physically stronger than them and I was able to do a lot more physically stuff than them so apparently I was a 'manbeast', great friends huh?
Anyways your real friends should at least knowledge that you are there and include you in conversations and like invite you to go hang out basically stuff like that.
You can be my friend though:)

Sorry forgot to add the advice part..
Just try to find the right friends and always trust your first instinct when you meet new friends. Sorry it sucks but I hope it helps:)

if you are not funny dont try. also you gotta hang out outside of school. also it takes time to really be friends with someone. also if you got no style then you might not connect with people. music is a great thing. i listen to alot of underground metal and the people in the know really respect that, so we make a connection.
