I think it's because once people have friends, they don't like stepping out of their comfort zone to make more. If something isn't mandatory, they are usually going to find a good reason not to go. I mean, if I had lots of friends, why would I go to events where I don't know anyone and be...

I think the best opportunity to make friends in high school is through after school activities. Do you enjoy sports? Maybe there's a sport that you can join that doesn't require tryouts, like track. You might also try joining an activities club. Even if there's nothing that interests you...

If you're looking for a job, have you tried a temp agency? In most cases you won't have to interview and it might be the opportunity to get something more permanent. It's not a great long term solution because there aren't any benefits, but it's better than nothing.

On the bright side, I think that most guys gain weight as they get older and a lot of them don't work out, so they get fatter. As least you'll never have that problem. Also, you have the ideal body type to be a great runner.

I think about that too, and you might try keeping a journal or writing stories or taking pictures, making videos or something. It's great that you can still pull a book off a shelf from an author who's been dead for 50 years and still enjoy it. Maybe it's just me, but I would still find the...

I think that collecting stuff and being into history means that you have an interest in details. Also, people do become famous if they collect enough, like autographs and memorabilia, so it definitely takes work and dedication to be a collector.

That last thing you said about being clingy and wanting friends so much stuck with me. I think it was on an episode of Scrubs that they mentioned there's a difference between being well-liked and being respected. I know there have been times where I wanted to be accepted and well-liked that I...

Hi, I definitely feel for you. I just turned 25, I've been single all my life, I guess I've never been really social. And I can understand what you're going through with college, for me it was tough because everyone was saying how college was so great, and I just didn't like it at all and it...

I agree a lot with what's been said - if you keep living you have a chance to live a better life. It may not be tomorrow, or next month, or next year, but you have a chance. But if you're dead, there's no going back from that, it's game over. You seem to care a lot about people. That's...

I think I know what you're experiencing - I often think, "if this person was in my situation, he would have made a dozen friends by now." And looking back on my past, I think I've had the opportunity to have closer relationships, but I didn't realize it at the time, or I was scared or I thought...

I'm in a similar position, I graduated a couple years ago and couldn't find work in the field that I studied, so I'm working in a different industry. I understand your frustration, I really want to be able to use everything I learned in college. Actually, a lot of people end up working in an...

I wouldn't get down about not finding work or doing bad in interviews. The economy is terrible right now and everyone is struggling. The best thing that you can do is practice and apply to as many jobs as you can. Even if you don't do well in a job interview, it can still help you in your...

I just saw this site online and this is my new goal for February...I want to try and meet as many people online as possible. (And yes, I will be keeping a running tally) You can find me as strobefire @ hotmail.com or I'm on AIM as strobeblight, it doesn't matter. I'm always curious about...

Hi everyone, I saw this site online and thought it was great...I'll keep this short before I lose my nerve, but it's a new month and since I don't get out all that much, I want to meet as many people as I can online in a month. Email...AIM...it doesn't matter. I'll post this also in the Pen...
