Hi all,
I like reading some of the advice being shared on this website and seeing there are people out there like myself :shy:
I'm almost 21, male and live in New Zealand. I'm not really depressed, just a loner, but I'd like to get to know more people and make friends I can trust.
I have lost most of my school friends who have either left to go to big cities, work in Australia or have become involved in crime. I don't go clubbing because I don't like the noise, don't see much point in drinking (it doesn't help me), and I don't want to risk getting into trouble because the few times I have gone out, my old friends have tried to peer-pressure me into getting up to no-good with them.
I think I can talk to people of all ages, but I've always kept people at a distance. Maybe it's laziness, but I just don't know what to do to have fun with other people. I enjoy simple things, like scenic walks, running, videogames and fishing. I feel OK being lonely but I think I should start making more of an effort to make some good friends. I'm studying at a marketing course, so hopefully I can get a fun job one day and meet some nice people there.
Never had the guts to go on a date, which I am starting to regret now. I've had a few girls ask me out, but I've always made some lame excuse or changed the subject. Maybe I have unrealistic standards, I dunno. I've been wondering if I'll ever have a family of my own because I love taking care of my baby nephews.
Anyway, nice community y'all got here
