Wonderso wondering again

? 2 days ago

I don’t know if I’d call them friends yet but I have been meeting a lot of cool people. I’ve started indoor rock climbing and I’m apparently not to shabby at it! It’s been a nice perk, meeting new people!

+friends 1 week ago

I wouldn’t say I’m really that shy, I’m just quiet and don’t have too much confidence. I know a decent amount of people at school, but I don’t really KNOW them. I’ll converse and say hi & stuff, but it won’t go beyond there. I hang out with the same people everyday and only have 1 close friend. I basically just want more people like that 1 close friend.



A friend is someone who accepts you just the way you are. 1 week ago

I have to finish my priorities and then I will connect more with people around me.
I don’t have time right now for that, but it’s absolutely necessity for me because I feel more motivated if I have a lot of nice and lovable fiends who likes to share time with me.



A great chance 1 week ago

I met some great people on my recent vacation. We all related to each other really well and I want to make a conscious effort to keep these new friends in my life. I need to plan some concrete events and things for us to enjoy and stay connected through.

Though my new friends do not live in my city, I think it’s still possible for us to stay connected. I have a great opportunity here!

I suppose that before I can really make new friends I should learn to keep the ones I already have?

The friend find is going ok. I’m always talking to someone new each week, and things are looking good. I’m even making friends with friends’ friends! :]

help :( 3 weeks ago

I just started at my new school.

This is my fourth week there now. Everything was going fine, until I got invited out with a bunch of kids from school last Friday night and we smoked bud, I was so high, everything still seems like a dream…anyway, I said ‘I hate this school’ or something along the lines of that, and I really didn’t mean it and I have no idea why I said it but now they all hate me :(

It’s a really small school, 300 students, so as soon as one person knows something everyone else does. I really thought I was about to make three new really close friends, but now they’ll hardly look at me.

I went to the station this morning and as I approched them they just looked away. I was like…’okay’ and I just stood there in the circle they then cut me out of it.

I just went home and now I’m writing this.

I’ve told them I didn’t mean it, but they still think I do, I say “I’m really sorry, I don’t know why I said that, I honestly didn’t mean it” they say, “Well, if you don’t mean it then why did you say it”

If I wasn’t trying to befriend them by this point I probably would’ve screamed at them by now, but instead I just ran home.
Please help, advise? What should I do??? They’re such nice girls and I really want them as friends
