Depression, Help? Will Give 10 ?

Question

Lately I have been feeling abit depressed.

I Have a wonderful family and decent friends, But Alot of people younger than me are already starting to bring home girlfriends and have s*x etc.

I like spending time at home, im 15 and abit shy. Can you help me with my situation and how to over come it?

Answer 1

   I used to be shy , it will go away on its own as you get older, you just need to try not to be so afraid of new things. People need to not worry about what their friends are doing and be more centered on how to make their own lives better.

Answer 2

At some point, everyone that went to school probably felt depressed. The teenage lifestyle, as trivial as it may be, is full of ups and downs.

Dont be concerned with all the kids havng s*x and whatnot cause they will be the ones stuck with babies in a few years and probably living in a trailer park shortly after.

On the other hand, even if you like hanging out at home, you cant shut yourself off  from the world. Now is the time you are developing social skills and the kids who dont develop these skills in school are arkward to be around later in life and generally will have more severe social interaction problems.

You just need to find a hobbie that will allow you to be social on your own terms. You can have friends that you just do that hobbie, like maybe setting up a multiplayer LAN game at your house and have your friends come over with their computers or something like that. You dont need to be best friends with everyone you hang out with, you just need a common interest...

Answer 3

First off, I think it takes a lot of maturity on your part to say you have a wonderful family and descent friends.

I would not compare yourself to what your friends are doing.  Having s*x at 15 is so young.  I know it might seem as if you are ready, but with adult type of relationships comes adult responsibilities.  I know there are ways to take precautions, but accidents do happen.  Are your friends ready to be a father?  And what about STD's?  Things such as girlfriends and s*x will come in time, but don't rush to be doing things that adults do.  The only kind of solution I can offer for your shyness is to get yourself involved in something that you like and excel at, this will help build your self-esteem and overcome some of your shyness. By the way, I think shyness in guy is endearing and attractive. Guys who are loud mouth, know-it-alls, overly-confidant can be a turn off.  Just ask some of the other posters.

Answer 4

it depends - if ur feeling depressed because u haven't brought ur girlfriend home or haven't had s*x, then there is no reason to be depressed about because ur time will come. if not now, then maybe later - there is time for everything.

u said u were shy so try coming a bit out of ur comfort zone, and ask some girl u like to the movies and slowly build a relationship - it that is the cause of you being depressed. you haven't actually written the cause of ur depression, so these are merely guesses to help you.

being desperate to try s*x will take over your life and make u very depressed. just go on with life - there is time for everthing

hope that helped you.

Hey 15 or any teen year is a hard time as you are adjusting to life. Some folks have a shier personality than others and that's not all bad. As far as s*x,stop worrying about that. That is just something that comes naturally when it's time.Go enjoy your life and don't waste a minute of it worrying.
