I'm an outcast for this reason...is this bad?

Question

I've had the reputation of being a loner for 2 years and now I honestly do not care at all what other people think about me. I know that I'm my own person and I'll stand my ground. I will not change for anyone but me, unless I find that its worth it. The only problem with this is that I have a very bad problem with making friends....help? Is this bad? Am I selfish or conceited sounding? People think I'm some crazy outcast loner freak because I'd rather read a book and get my own fun with my friend than hang out at a football game and be a prep or a 'normie.' How can I make more friends without changing myself? Is there a way?

Answer 1

try going and talking to people have a conversation maybe say something funny hope it helpped

Answer 2

find people who enjoy doing the stuff you do

i guess i was like u a few years back but i made some friends with some kids who play this computer game i liked and we became close friends and then from there i got interested in sports and what not and i found ppl in my school who enjoy the sports or games i like and i just branched out from there.

Answer 3

Trust me, I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm guessing you, like myself, are a bit introverted. You would rather do your own thing and not try and be "the life of the party." And guess what? It's completely allright! You don't have to change yourself to make friends -- like you said, you have 2 best friends and that's all you really need. It's not about how many friends you have, but the depth of the friendship. It's better to have 2 best friends who really understand and care for you than have 100 acquaintences who you share nothing in common with. There is no need to change your reputation -- if people call you a loner, so be it. All that matters is that YOU don't think of yourself as a loser. If you wish to make new friends, just be yourself. I'm sure you're a terrific girl that will go so far in life!

Answer 4

There are others out there like you, seek someone who enjoys the same things you do. They are out there!
