saz123 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I'm 18 and have left school. I don't see my friends much anymore and they're drifting away from me. Lately I've been told that you lose friends in life and the older you get then it's harder to stay in contact with your school friends. You make new friends in life I know, but lately I feel lonely and like I have nobody. I just feel that because I'm not seeing them as much anymore they're just not bothering with me. I'm not one for not having friends, I'm not a nasty person at all I never have been. I don't know what I've done wrong. Can someone shed some light. Do you think things happen for a reason?

Author saz123 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 You are entering a very tough time in life 18-24~. I suggest you begin college as soon as possible and try to make some new connections. It's so tough. Thing is I don't want to go to college/university. My boyfriend is in his 20's so I have him and I am close with my family. But everyone needs friends Maybe I need to man up a bit and wake up and smell the coffee!

You're 18, trust me, you will meet tons of new people on your path in life. Jobs, parties, gatherings, school (college). How much effort are you putting in? Anything at all? I agree friendship is a two way street though sometimes and I'd say in your case, if there are friends that you really like and enjoy, work on it, put the effort in and you'll be happily surprised others will put the effort in as well. You've done nothing wrong! 1

I always message one of my friends out of this group and often see them in town, but one member is really against me at the moment as they think I can't be bothered with them anymore. But last week she was fine with me. I was wondering if it was a case of people putting their opinions in her head (there is this old group at school who never invite me out anymore but are really close with her). I've spoken to her about it and she's just really off with me. I haven't done anything to her though? Maybe these people just aren't my true friends even though I do put effort in with them too. Lately I just feel so lonely and upset all the time, which isn't like me.
Author saz123 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Its understandble that they see you less If you are not at school. But in their free time there must be contact If its real freindship. And why did you left school?maybe is this situation Telling you that you need to be at school? And you can plan stuff also and invite them. Its clear that they cant drop out of school to hang out with you. You are at a age to socialize as much as posible and work Hard on your school and enjoy life. Sitting at home will not help you do any of that. At least get a job. I have a job, thanks.
