I have no friends anymore?

Question

I'm in 10th grade in highschool and I have no friends. I dont know what happened. All the way up to 7th grade I was one of the popular guys in school I had tons of friends and we would hangout all the time. Then when 8th grade started. I slowly started losing them. I was not popular any more, at all. I dont know what happened i havnt said more then all my old popular friends in 2 years and when im around them its very awkward and depressing. I was just such good friends with them and there not the type of mean people who think everyones a loser. I dont what happened and its really depressin spending weekends alone and seeing old stuff that reminds me of them. Help my parents are really worried about me and I'm really depressed

Answer 1

why have you been staying away from your friends? you just need to get back in the swing of things, remember who you are, you sound like a good person, just be yourself always and good friends will come, be honest and do nice things for others, it will make you feel good about yourself. anytime you are feeling low go out and do a good deed. I know it sounds corny but give it a try and just see what happens.

Answer 2

Did something happen to you between the 7th and 8th grade? What happened when you recall the first moment you realized felt you were not part of the crowd? Did you do or say something that got around to them? Or is it possible that a rumor might have gone around? Something happened this past summer. Think really hard about what brought this on. Then push back into circulation. If you can't, you may need anti-depressants. There's no shame in that and they work. Good luck.

Answer 3

Same with me.
I don't know what happened. Friends just started leaving and I was stuck and didn't know what to do. Then, I realized I really didn't have friends. I had people I talked to, people I fake around, but not a friend. I didn't cry or get mad or anything. I am currently taking advantage of the situation. I am finding out more about myself everyday, and you know I am getting new friends everyday. And they are better friends that I had previously.

It was sad always being alone for the past couple of months, but I've benefited from it. There's a positive side to this. And heads up, you will survive. I did. :)

Being popular right now may seem very important, but believe me you have other stuff to work on. Get a grip, get real= cause here it IS. Pick something you like to do, join a dance class (I'm not joking), it teaches, you stick to something-you may even like it or somebody in the class. OK it doesn't have to b dancing. You attend a class once a week. You are in the 10th grade, and probably in 2 yrs, you'll b going to college. Right now----you start to prepare. I say this- now- at yr grade, age- because you, only you can make or break your career future. The harder you work on the studies (not only to get good grades-but to really suceed-the better and easier your school work will b for you. Take, and really settle down, tackle the tough courses-really apply yourself-and college will be easier. and don't forget about taking a class in something that is fun. Most work, but some fun too. And taking drugs, drinking alc., doing STUPID things only gets in the way! Get out of yourself too! Your future is UP to you! You can have friends. You apply yourself, successfull people like people like themselves.. The better educated you are--the better for you!

Answer 5

Friends come, friends go. It's a spontaneous reaction. I've gone through many groups of friends in my lifetime, I don't worry about losing any, I try not to, but It happens and you just have to adjust. I have friends now that have not and possibly will never meet friends from my past and vissa versa. If you want to cling on to your old friends that's your business but you gotta get out and meet other people. Face it. Five years from now you'll have a whole new group of friends, its inevitable. And in a lot of circumstances people tend to drift away from the old crowd. You won't even notice until after the fact. Though in your heart you will never forget them. That's life.

Answer 6

Maybe you should do a reflection on yourself to see how you have changed compared to them, because in year 7, everyone is just beginning to know each other. Also, i think you left your gap between you and them to widen for too long but i'm sure they wouldn't mind it if you popped by to say hi to them every now and then, overcome your fears and start again, most people are just too afraid of rejection nowadays. Just do it and be yourself

Answer 7

You need to get other interests besides school. Get a job and make friends there. Volunteer and make new friends. Get involved in things you are interested in then it will be easy to make friends with people who share the same interests.

Don't worry about friends at school. You will graduate in 2 years and usually grow apart from then anyway.

Sometimes when we grow up and we change schools we lose friends so cheer up and start making some new ones its going to work out for you look at me I am at home answering questions and I used to go out to the clubs talk about being depress LOL

Answer 9

First off, relax. There is SOMEONE your friends with, right? You must be talking to someone at school. Consider this an opportunity to make new friends. Approach that person or people you've wanted to and hook up. Friends that desert you were never really that good to begin with. Somebody is checkin you out right now, all you got to do is find out who it is! Good luck.

Answer 10

Aw, I'm sorry. It sounds like you drifted apart. Maybe your interests changed and maybe you need to cultivate new friends. It's hard to schuck off the familiar, but maybe your opportunities lie with new people and new experiences. Join a club, get a part time job, do something to shake you out of your rut.
