Is there any hope left for someone who hasn't had a friend in 6 years?

Question

I know it is my patterns of behaviour that keep me from being social. I try and get out there. But I can't build relationships where people want to hang out with me. It is like so frustrating. I am soon to be 18 and evvvveery saturday night I am alone watching movies to ease the pain and eating junk food. I don't have a weight problem or anything. But I am wondering if my mental problem could keep me friendless for eternity? Hypothetically in heaven I guess in addition to when I say eternity I mean for the rest of my life. Time moves slow when you hate your life. I have no good insurance so I can't get counseling, or therapy as much as I need them. It makes me feel like I am living in h**l.

Answer 1

There is always hope. I went through 4 yrs of high school with out any friends because I was very shy. Then I went to a Vocational school and I was able to make friends there. That's where I met my first boy friend. I found it easier to get along with people who were older than me. I think it will get easier for you as you get older. I know being a teenager is hard especially when you don't have friends. Hang in there. God Bless.

Answer 2

I'm sorry.  Everyone needs at least one good friend.  How about your family?  Are you close with your family.  It makes me sad to know that you don't have a close friend.  Churches are very willing to accept new people.  You could try that.

Answer 3

I feel the same way most of the time. there ae mental health places that are free in most bigger cities. check out the yellow pages or online city directory

Answer 4

there are counselors in schools.

if you go to school.  

Answer 5

try to be a more friendly and dont insult any 1 even if ur playing around, people may take it the wrong way some times you just need to join sumthing (like football, soccer,or any sport you like) and be urself (in a nice way)

im not saying ur mean but some people who dont hav many friends are a bit unkind

and ur probably going to college soon so youll meet lots of people
