I'm graduating from high school in 5 months and last week basically decided to give up on making friends because I screwed up all my chances and just keep to myself and be alone. I wanted to be friends with everybody but especially with this one group that I really like and have fun with and spend time with them and I had great opportunities with them but I'm just shy and hasn;t gotten anywhere at all. They were so nice and I was nice to them and they liked me but I was just too shy to take it further. I think i might still have a chance if I started talking to them possibly again, but the thing is that I'm convinced I have some kind of anxiety disorder because I have just had a horrible time with it lately and can't talk to people And I think they understand that I'm shy and give me quite a bit of leeway with that but I honestly think they're frustrated basically and started to give up too. And I don;t know that I could realistically make that happen because the social anxiety is really starting to get bad. I mean really bad. So I don;t know if I should just let it go and accept it or try again, and I don't know how i would be able to make it happen realistically. I thought maybe if I just gave up and basically accepted it I might be able to feel more at peace and thats what I tried this week but it just made me more depressed.

When a person is shy they are usually so worried about what people think of them. Just put the past behind you and try again. Like the other commentor said just talk to one of them. Take it easy on yourself and know you have a lot to offer in life to a lot of people. It's important to have some close friends in life. Remember too that after high school a lot of times people do move on and make a whole new set of friends. Either from work or other activities that one may become involved with. Just as much as you need others-they need you as well. :)

Honey, have you ever thought you have a fear of being hurt? If the answer is yes then don't worry your not the only one out there like that, in fact I am. I know it is hard but you have to try to let down that wall just a little bit to let people in, yes there is a chance you might get hurt but if you don't try then then you will end up staying depressed. Take it form someone who knows

5 months is a long time to be alone. Try to approach one of them one on one and take it from there.
