I'm a 17 year old guy who is obviously lonely. Goingto give a little background/tell my story etc.

I started going downhill after a few months into highschool. I was one of the really popular kids. I was 15, on as many sports teams as I could be, star of soccer/basketball, a lot of girls liked me, went to all the parties; even the grade 12 ones in grade 9. I had a lot of friends, was in the circle hanging out with the prettiest girls, hooking up etc. Girls told me they liked me, I was too insecure/awkward to do anything about it so I led a few of them on. Then the girl I really liked (prettiest, sweetest girl) told me she loved me, i just stood there no idea what to say, she left, got an older boyfriend. That started a bit of depression. Then a few months in myself and my best friend at the time started trying weed, smoked whenever we were together or at parties.He had a bad experience a while later and stopped, but I found other people to go smoke with.

Myself and my best friend fell out in sophomore year and I started hanging out with the "stoner group", fell out of the popular circle, didn't really care. I lost a lot of motivation, started doing badly in school when before I had straight A's. I stopped going to school, and became isolated because I didn't really care enough to do the facebook crap. Kept not going to school, still went to all the parties, but I really wasn't happy. I skipped enough to get kicked out of the school.

In the summer I went overseas to Europe with the few good friends I had left on a student group trip. Had an amazing time even though I started developing panic attacks, (no idea what they were at the time), whenever we went out drinking (which was every night). I was hooking up with girls on the trip and I was a bit happier, even through the panic attacks. Made friends, but lost contact with all of them.

New year, started at a new school, knew nobody. Didnt talk to anyone, was a very cliquey school, way bigger than the one I was at before. Few people were nice to me but made no friends. Didnt really matter to me. Started skipping at that school again, just sat home and played videogames by myself. Had frequent panic attacks, was depressed and lonely. Just sat in bed and didn't go to school for about 8 months, which was the worst time of my life, contemplated suicide.

Present day, Im still as lonely as ever, back in some private school doing private 1on1 classes to ensure getting into university, so I talk to nobody, don't eat lunch there, so no chance to interact with anyone. Old friends text me sometimes, asking what the hell happened to me and if Im alright because I pretty much disappeared.I never reply. Lost my computer because my parents thought I was playing video games too much, even though I was just talking to some of the people I met on there, because I was lonely.So now I just sit at school with a teacher, sit at home and watch movie/browse on my phone or at physiotherapy from sitting in my bed so long after being athletic which messed up my body. I know I could go out, meet people/have fun but right now Im too depressed/stuck in my room/awkward/can't be bothered.

So that's my long story, just joined to tell it to people I don't know to get it off my chest, and this seemed like a good place. Dont expect you to read it, if you did, great.
Leave me a reply with anything, means a lot.

Peace
 
Hey man, whuzzup?
Welcome and hope you find some way to get motivated to go out and meet people.
If you want pm me or something if you wanna talk or something
 
Hi LoneIy,

Do try to get out. Reach out and re-connect with your old friends. Don't lose your youth because you will never get it back. Your panic attacks are probably due to social anxiety as you have removed yourself from most social situation you've lost your social skills. Your old friends if they are true friends will understand and they will help you. Perhaps you can get back into sports. They could help you to build up your confidence again as well as being a tool to help you interact with people again. If you would like to talk, feel free to PM me anytime.

I agree with the above. I have a similar thing going on at the moment feeling alone etc.

I too was good at sports (soccer mainly) but don't have the confidence to go and play because I know i'm not as good as I once was.

I have recently taken up tennis, which I had never really played before and found out that i'm ok at it. This gave me a lot of confidence and allowed me to get out a bit more and do some physical activity rather than sitting around the house and laying in bed.

I have found that exercise makes me feel a lot healthier and allows me to socialize with people more as well.

Do you think that could be something that might help?
 
hey hows it going?

Sounds like somewhere along the way you lost your motivation, hope you find it again! Keep working toward uni-haveing a goal or tow always helps keep you going!

anyway, enjoy the forum, if you wana chat, send a pm!
 
That is why drugs are bad. You'd be a good spokes person to go around and talk about how your life went down the crapper after you started smoking pot. Cause from what you've said that's where it started.

You just need to pick yourself back up and get back out there. Answer some of your old friends when they try to contact you.

Welcome to the forums.
