I just completed a week long summer program at U of I and it was so much better than high school, I made friends right away (in fact, more girls than boys), and I had a good time. People actually talked and laughed with me.
Now keep in mind I have never had a girlfriend, nor had any sort of intimate contact with a girl before (nor did I at this program), and I am going to be a senior in high school this year.
Anyway, we added ourselves as friends on facebook. Now I did have a facebook account, and I had 2 or 3 friends. But I have never really used facebook because I have a fear of being viewed as a stalker.
After I came home today, I could not stop thinking about the friends I made, especially the girls, because I think at least one may like me, but unfortunately lives far out of state.
I have had a sad and pathetic life thus far, and, when I arrived home, I tried to listen to some music and play video games to take my mind off things. It didn't work, and the intense mood swings did not go away, and I broke down isolating myself and crying.
Now I am trying to think more rationally. This has been a random and incoherent post, so let me get straight down to things:
How do I initiate contact with these people? What is "normal" to do on facebook? I am guessing it's not having private message conversations with people. Should I put a picture of myself on facebook? Please help me learn how to normally interact with people on facebook.
One of my biggest social problems, aside from the anxiety, is that when I am able to make friends on a rare occasion, I am a very boring person, and quickly run out of anything to say, especially with girls. I don't know what to ask, or anything. When I say I am boring, I mean it. I'm not into sports. All I do is sit at home and aimlessly browse the internet and play video games, all throughout any free time I have (which is a lot).
What do I say?
