For a large amount of my life, I've felt lonely. Since kindergarten, I've felt loneliness and didn't really have much in the way of friends. Around junior high, it was sort of like that, but with bad self-esteem on top of that. The last year of it however, things started to get better.
When I hit high school however, things came crashing down again. People I once knew I thought they forgot about me in my eyes and I started hating myself, and considered harming myself. Grade 10 was even worse. The year things started getting better was around grade 12, when I did make a group of friends.
Now, I'm in uni and I still spend a lot of time by myself. I think I'm failing my courses, I still see myself as a freak because of my autism, and I'm always still feeling lonely because now I'm away from my family. I might be getting this depression (if it is depression. I've never been diagnosed) all over again. I do have some friends, but we don't see each other often. I don't know how to carry a conversation and I'm too formal to be interesting. I will never end my life, considering my death will probably cause others to do the same and I know I can change it for the better. It's more like a headache really. So, thought I might as well try asking here: what should I try doing to feel better?
Also, forgive me if I suddenly clear this post. There's people I know who I don't want them to know this. They've been through a lot of stress from this in my years of high school.
