Nobody to talk to

Anon please as it's a little embarrassing.
I finished 6th form a few weeks ago, and I never really had many friends there, but I didn't have any of it either really, so now I don't have school to go to everyday, I have no one to hang out with/talk to.
My parents are away on holiday, so I'm completely by myself and haven't gone out/spoken to anyone at all in days, and in all honesty it's really starting to agitate/upset me, because I know even when my parents are back that they'll hardly talk to me either.

I can't really meet up with anyone from 6th form, most of them have girlfriends who wouldn't like me to see them out of school, or they're more aquaintances than anything. I don't really get on with girls well either.
It hasn't always been like this, I used to have a lot of friends and was always out, and after that I had a bf for nearly 2 years. I'm not totally socially inept or awful looking, I get quite a lot of male attention, but they only want stuff I don't. I just feel like I have no self esteem or confidence in myself, and think people would find me tedious to spend time around...

Maybe go somewhere else and make new friends? Go to dancing class, etc?

Sorry, I don't really have anything very useful to say but don't let your self-esteem be hit by this. Like you said, you're not socially inept and you've had a boyfriend for 2 years. It's a matter of meeting new people but the question is how... Perhaps join a club or youth centre and hang out there? You'd meet new people that way and it'll give you something to do! Best of luck :hug:

I'm in the same boat :smile: But mines due to falling back a year and all my friends being back at uni. Just use facebook and try and get in contact with people.

A few little chats to see what they're upto will set the ball rolling and then when you say you've got nothing to do at the weekend i'm sure one person will say oh come with us.

Then when you're out talk to the people you're with and then you have more people to potentially hang about with over summer :smile:

Have you finished 6th form completely? as in, you are going to Uni next year? if so, make that your fresh start. You probably won't know anyone at Uni and can start building new relationships from the start. At Uni the vast majority of people are in the same boat; don't know anyone from Adam!

Total ****? Are you making anyone laugh? Are you laughing at the fact your such an utter neek you have nothing better to do with your Saturdays than show yourself to be a massive phallice on a forum?
Sad little boy.

Yes I'll be going to university in September, and I'm hoping that'll get my social life back to normal.
I'm also going abroad in July, but I'm scared of meeting new people, just the thought of being rejected socially scares me.
And I still have the rest of June to spend by myself...

If you're going abroad in July then uni in September OP, you can make that your fresh start :smile: It's only three weeks away, sure it will be a painful three weeks but you just gotta ride it out! :yep:

I know it doesn't really help the op, but just to let you know, everybody feels like this at some point. :smile:

This is exactly how I feel at times... I actually went through my phone last night, looking for just one person who might understand how I'm feeling... there wasn't a single number. I turned my phone off.

I'm not sure being entirely dependent is all that wise -- and if one's life is not OK now it's entirely conceivable there will be similar problems at university. It's likelier you'll find similar people to strike up harmonious friendships, which I guess you can do as you don't seem socially inept, at university. But waiting until university isn't ideal, it's still several months away and one doesn't want to do nothing. But I'm in an almost identical situation and I don't have a solution. PM me if you want.
