How -- I feel like such a loner! -- ?

At school I always feel like a loner. My friends from elementry never talk to me anymore. I always have to start the conversation with them because they won’t talk to me unless they need to. It feels so akward all the time and I’m starting to feel really alone. My best friend at school hangs with me a lot but she’s got other friends too y’know? And what they say and want to do goes. I’m usually left following them around like a stupid puppy. I’m ugly and I have acne and I’m gaining weight on my stomache like crazy. I don’t know what to do! I don’t want to be a loner I want to have friends that hang with me whenever they can. :( what should I do?

Answer #1

I wish I knew, most of my friends still talk to me but half of them are some of my worst enemies now and the one who still are my friends aren’t close like I doubt they would back me up if I got into a fight. and I had to work super hard to get my friends back up to the “hanging out” level. I completely changed my attitude which surprisingly was a good thing, I got much cooler and this is more of the real me actually. I lost weight and got my own style, I’m sure I’m the only person on my school who looks/is emo and doesn’t look completely stupid. but I’m still not the kind of guy who can get any girl he wants like my best friend, he’s the only one that understands my pain but he toughened me up. well enough about my back story! if you’re in a big school then find some new friends like you! from what you sound like you’re coming from a pretty popular clique so this may be hard but find some people who will accept you for you and you’ll probably get more popular again and if not at least these friends are real. if you’re like me and come from a pretty small school with only a couple groups of friends try to change yourself up a little bit but not change who you are completely, remember that clothes and looks may change but you won’t. and I don’t know if it’s because I’m really lucky or what but I’m back with a few of my old friends and a few new ones. the new ones are mostly girls by the way.you’ll get through it, hopefully without cutting yourself like I did.

Answer #2

Both of you sound like really great people! Don’t change for other people. If they can’t see that you’re already amazing, they don’t deserve your company. If your following your friends around while they’re talking about something, talk back! Get in the conversation with them! They probably want to hang out with you more, but they might think you’re too quiet or shy. Just speak up and give yourself a chance. I doubt any of you are ugly, so stop putting yourselves down. And even though they might have been your friends last year, things and people change and you might not even have anything in common anymore. Be confident and find other people that share your interests. Most importantly, if you’re going to change, do it for yourselves! I remember trying to be everything my friends wanted and it just wasn’t me. Be independent. Good luck, I hope both of you find great friends. :)

Answer #3

It shouldn’t matter what you look like. Just be yourself. If people don’t like you for you, then they aren’t true friends. Find people that are like you.. try making some new friends. Maybe join a few clubs? You can find friends in unexpected places! Sorry this was kind of crappy advice, I think the other two covered pretty much everything haha. Good luck finding some nice friends. Hope everything goes well for you! :)
