My life is empty

^ Well, I wish you luck. And also, nice avatar! I believe that is from The Wind Waker? I loved that game, never even completed though. Got so close...

Yes, yes it is. It is one of the few things that I play in my spare time now. I'm doing another playthrough of the game, if you still have it I recommend you go play it. It's my favorite Zelda game actually.

^ Yeah, I still have it. I will never let go of that game. :: It's also one of my favorites, besides the classic NES Legend of Zelda and Ocarina of Time.

I feel empty as well. It's mainly because I need new relationships in my life. New people, new knowledge to garner from different minds, new experiences. But specifically, people experiences.

I think people grow from their experiences with others and I'm stagnating. I just...want a mind-blowing conversation with someone. I don't mean the subject matter should be complex or anything, I just want to feel a connection. I want my sentences finished for me.

I really need connection too. I can´t just be hanging out with someone who doesn´t understand me, who doesn´t give any feedback on what I´m saying... That´s why I have let several friendships slide.
It started when I was 19 years old, I began feeling different and had a strong need to feel connection. I slowly lost contact with all friends, even the ones I had since childhood. It´s kinda sad, but I have gone over it som many times in my head, and I realized I couldn´t have done it any other way.

In addition to what's been mentioned here (I'll second all of it, especially the music piano/keyboard thing - music's a great hobby to pick up)...

I highly recommend searching for a job. It wasn't until 18-ish when I really had to kick myself and start doing applications, so if I seem too hypocritical, you can wait until you're 18, too, but better earlier than later in this case.
I'm not going to lie, it's not easy to get a job, but having a source of income at all is very helpful in life. But it's not impossible; if you go through with the job search, do not tell yourself it is impossible. It's going to seem so, but keep going. I spent months doing applications, had up to seven interviews, and eventually, found some fast-food kind of job. Not perfect, but having actual income is not a bad thing. Plus having some experience makes job-searching much easier later on.

Then there's other things about it. Your life won't seem as empty. I used to have trouble convincing myself I wasn't empty. Now I can't really convince myself I'm empty. Plus, it'll be difficult with social anxiety, but gradually, you'll get better. My first few days were crazy tough with the socializing, but it gets easier. Plus, if you're worried about how the co-workers will think of you as someone who seems social phobic, it doesn't really matter; as long as you can work with them well, they don't mind if you're a bit quiet and/or independent.

Just thought I might as well throw in my two cents. I'm still looking for a real friendship myself, but like anything else, if you stop looking you're not going to find it. If you keep going, maybe you'll have a classmate next year who sits next to you, and perhaps you'll have the same interests. The year after, if you plan on doing college, there's clubs and organizations where you can find people with similar interests.

Just throwing a few things out there.

Good post Shant, glad you found a job.
