I'm 15 and feel lonely

So I'm 15 years old and I have a few friends but I can't help but feel lonely and jealous when I see/hear about people hanging with 7+ friends considering the fact I probably have less than 7 people I could even hang out.

I'm also terrible at talking to girls and have never had a girlfriend nor do I have any real female friends so this just makes me worried and makes me feel like I'm already forever alone (I know it sounds ridiculous but I can't help but have the mentality of "You're awful at talking to girls, you're never gonna get a girlfriend" :wink:

.

I'm starting to worry about this because the summer holidays are about to start and I'm worried about spending yet another summer holiday feeling alone as I don't go out with my friends that often.

I'm naturally shy and introverted but I'm trying to work on my (currently awkward) social abilities. I'm gradually improving but this mentality of feeling lonely keeps getting to my head, making me feel depressed and stressed. It doesn't help that I am have anxiety either.

Any advice?

I initially thought you were a troll so was not going to take you seriously. But, it seems you truly need help, so my advice would be to go out of your comfort zone e.g. join activities you enjoy be it football or chess or whatever. But, please no smoking or alcohol related activities. Also, if you could do me a favor, please be kind to people as I am sure you are and donate some money to the poor, I would very much appreciate that. Thank you.

I'm 18 and I want to say it gets better ( which it may) but it probably won't. Looking back I would tell myself to take socialising seriously - like make it important to try and join a new activity at your school or start volunteering somewhere (good for uni applications anyways).

lonely 15 year old girls exist - you just need to find your type of people (which may take time, so try and get comfortable with being alone (how to not feel lonely when you're alone)).

I used to be so jealous of how other kids just know everyone and find people to hangout with so easily - but I'm starting to realise that we're just not the same people and comparing myself won't help me at all. If you really want to fit in with a certain group just say hi and try and get to know them - even if it's for a short bit of time - maybe that will stop you from constantly putting them on a social pedestal.

Be kind to yourself - try and find things that about yourself that you think you can offer to others ( like be cool with yourself, so you get to the mentality that "it's their loss for not knowing you"). Stop punishing yourself, no-one judges you as much as you judge yourself

Good luck though, it's really hard to not feel lonely but I hope you get there

Lmao I just logged into TSR for the first time for about 2 years and completely forgot about this thread. But yeah, I'm now 17 and unfortunately things haven't gotten much better. Starting uni in September so I guess I'll see what happens and if things change there 🤷*♂️ I feel more confident now (since creating this thread I've done a lot and worked upon myself) so I don't doubt things will get better at uni but yeah, I'll just see :biggrin:

I feel for you but it’s better to have a few good friends than lots of fake ones. I should know I had many “friends” in secondary school that I don’t talk to now a few months down the line but now I have 4 friends I know I can rely on and will be there for me
