Sorry for the long, FML post. But this has been nagging me for AGES and I finally found this place. I just really need to let it all out.
So I'm 17 now, going into grade 12, and its summer. Most kids my age would be going out with friends, partying, and just enjoying the freedom summer vacation gives. Not me though. Everyday I'm just finding myself at home, reading, or on Facebook HOPING someone will message me and start a conversation.
I just feel like right now in my life I just have a bunch of acquaintances and really no one I can call a close friend. And all the acquaintances I really don't feel like I want to totally be friends with (I really don't feel like we could connect on that level).
My biggest problem is meeting new people, or even getting closer with people I know only a little bit. I don't know how to just start talking with someone and get them to like me. Sometimes at school or around town I notice people I want to get to know better, but I keep thinking to myself that I'm just intruding on their lives and that they really won't want to talk to me.
Right now I have a fairly new job and so I want to start making some good friends from there. So how do I take the first step and get over my fears? Also, how do I move from the "acquaintances" phase of a relationship to a "friendship" one? I really just want to have people that I can call up, text, or hang out with and actaully feel like I am somewhat important in their lives.
