I have no friends, I want some!

I have no friends, not one.

I have worked at the same fish and chip shop for 3 years. (I'm 17 now). This last year I have started volunteering at an animal rescue centre and recentley at a activity centre for disabled children.

At college I try to make friends and stuff, searched on the internet for advice, used it all but no good.

I feel so sad. I spend most my spare time studying, at the gym, or wandering around the streets.

Bumping this (is that okay)
Becuase it's a long way down the line thing, so people might not see it.

Listen the problem is in your mind. The perceptions in our minds are usually formed in childhood, in the home. Do you have any reason to believe there's a problem at home? Perhaps your relationship with your parents is unusual?

OP, I've been in exactly the same position as you. Worse, even. At one point I had no friends whatsoever. I suffered anxiety attacks. No 'friend' could get through to me. Now I'm beginning to see the light.

Also, it could be your dress sense - sounds shallow but people do judge you on what you wear...if it's cheap rubbish tat, then you'll be judged and people probably will make less of an effort with you.

May sound like a stupid question but how?

I volunteer, I work, I go to the gym, instead of studying at home I go to Starbucks or my local library or park (in summer), I spend the rest of my time walking around trying to find something to do or someone to friends with..

Yeah I know, first impressions and all that.

I don't think I am bad looking or anything, I look better then a lot of the 'popular'people.
I take great care in my appearence. Love TopShop and River Island clothes...

hmmm, if you dont smell and you dress well then i can't put my finger on it.....it must be the way you act then. probably shy and not very confident, which you need to be to make friends.

have the mentality "you only live once" because years from now when you have mates you'll probably be thinking what all the fuss was about.

Yeah, well when I work and volunteer I do.

The other times I make eye contact and smile and try to look friendly etc.
Might have the odd quick convo. Like the other day mentioned the weather to someone while they were trying to make their kid put their hat on.

I have no friends, I want some!
