Before you can love and be loved by others, you need to love yourself. When you are comfortable with yourself, you relax more, and it shows. People are more likely to want to be around someone who is comfortable and confident. Your size or how you look doesn't matter at all - it's your attitude.
Go for walks and enjoy the outdoors by yourself. Read books. Write stories and draw. Learn a new hobby that is best enjoyed alone. Go on dates with yourself, even! Basically, you need to enjoy yourself and be comfortable being alone before you can have friends. Once you find out you don't need them, they'll start falling into your lap. (Then you have a totally different problem because you want to be alone but people won't stop bugging you!)
Hope this helps. I spent a good part of my life friendless, and only recently learned that being alone is totally OK. It was the most important lesson I've ever learned.

You don't need friends you just need to be happy with yourself. Are you? If not then change. Don't worry what others think. Maybe though your friends are trying to help you by being mean. If so it sounds like it might be working. I understand you are overweight? Get up and go. Force yourself to go on a long walk every day and tell yourself no to the cookies and fast food. Life is a gift and a wonderful one! Make the most of it and don't sit around and wallow away! Start a blog to help with your emotional side of the problem. Blogspot.com is free. Good luck in your quest! You should love yourself, and no one else can till you do! So get to work!!!

First, giving all your friends the ability to control how you feel is handing over a lot of power. They can't make you feel one way or another...that should be your choice.
So, choose to feel better, and let's go after this friend thing. You already know what your current 'friends' are about - you feel uncomfortable with the way they treat you. So, let's go find some new friends!
Head over to http://360.yahoo.com and start your own webpage. You can create a circle of friends who will judge you for who you are, not what you look like. Next, head over to http://www.myspace.com and start a page there, too. Same thing. Soon, you'll have more friends than you know what to do with.
After you're comfortable with the chat, let's find some live friends. Volunteer at the animal shelter or the senior center. You'll naturally attract people to you who will admire your spirit. (And you'll start to feel really good about yourself, too).
From there, just no stopping you! Friends, friends, friends everywhere.
Very first step: change your user name to something cheerful and friendly. No sense sounding like you're unhappy. People will be more inclined to be your friend if they think you like yourself.
Hang in there, friend. Let us know how it's going - we need good news here, too! Good luck! - Stuart

Umm my best friends sure, yet even although i appreciate the females I carry out with, I wouldn't completely trust them. It sounds terrible yet i recognize for a shown truth that they now and again gossip about one yet another. both way is say I have some friends who're both honest climate friends and some who're like sisters to me.

Get so strength. Weight doesn't matter in any relationship, and if these guys are being mean to you to this point instead of being there for you, then they're not really friends that you want. Maybe you're just trying to hard to fit into a group instead of being yourself. Just be yourself, and your true friends will find you.

No one wants to be around someone that is depressed all the time. My advice is start to live your life! Find things you enjoy to do, find things you like about yourself. The friends will come or they wont, but you will be happy with yourself. When you are comfortable in your own skin people seem to want to be around you more.
Sometime to not have friends is a bigger blessing than to have them.

Sounds like you Do have friends, but you yourself down yourself and that is the beginning of disaster. I mean, your name is .. well, see I can't even disrespect you by repeating it. Love yourself first then get some self respect by counting the GOOD things about you. I can name a few and I don't even know you: you seem caring and are a good speller.

Don't believe what they say, change town if you can and recreate yourself. take up a hobby that makes you feel better about yourself like going to the gym. If you start believing what they say then it is really the beginning of the end, because you will subconsciously do destructive things to prove yourself right. Don't believe it.

Those people obviously aren't your friends if they are calling you a loser. Try talking to people you nrmally wouldn't rtalk to and try to be nicer to everyone. Peole will begin to realze that you aer a nice person, and they will respect that. Eventually, you will begin to make new friends and won't be lonely any more! Good Luck!
