School: Just try to put yourself into situations where you can't avoid being in a group (says the guy who can't speak to people either
). It's drastic, but, for us, drastic times calls for drastic measures. Ask someone around you to be in your group for projects and after the project is done, make sure to keep that line of communication between you two is alive. If you let it die, you'll lose a lot of potential friends. Trust me, I know because I go through the same thing every day and it hurts more than you will ever know. Also, BiWinning is right about your past friends: find them and try to become friends with their friends. That's how I got mine when I was in high school.
Humor: Don't worry about it so much; just crack a joke whenever and if your friends say it's not funny, then make a joke about how bad at jokes you are. You should look at some of my posts; I've cracked to many unfunny jokes, I should be banned from this site and arrested for it (like now
). But, it doesn't stop me from making jokes; I just learn from my mistakes and try to be funnier. I'm sure you're funnier than you think
!
Sensible: So what if you don't fit the common idea of a "man," you're living your life for you and no one else. If you believe you are a man, then you are. Don't feel bad about the girl; a girl I thought liked me just stopped calling me and talking to me out of the blue. I couldn't, and still can't, think of anything I've done to be subject to this except for implying my feelings for her. You know what, I still think about her, even to this day and even as I try to tell myself and my family differently. Besides, you should be happy that you're crying over her because that shows how dear she was to you and that you're still in total synch with your emotions. Girls like that and your chosen princess/queen will adore you for it.
Girlfriends: As of right now, I would suggest to stop thinking about getting a girlfriend. Don't give up, but don't let it be a major priority in your mind; just focus on your schoolwork and get through high school so you can get to college. Don't let those naysayers discourage you; in fact, let them be your drive so that when you finally get one, you can rub it in their smarmy idiot faces for the rest of your life. Some girls like the shy guys (so if you can find one, let me know and I'll be down there so fast God will need frame-by-frame to spot me
)!
P.S. BiWinning, I see your fifteen and raise you ninety-one!
