Is this just a phase?

Question

I've always been sort of shy but usually I got out of my shell pretty quickly and turned into a wild, crazy, impulsive-type person. But ever since I started going to my all-girls school 4 years ago, I never was able to get out of my shell and it's frustrating - so frustrating. I don't like the girls I go to school with - their mostly rich little brats who drink/do drugs = BORING - and my friends don't mean the *world* to me like other people's friends. I could stand some different ones. I don't have a boyfriend or boy friends.

I'm really unhappy and lonely. I just want college to work out so I can get back to my true self. I hate being so insecure. I feel like I'm so boring - I used to be so different. :(

Is my shyness/insecurity just a phase?

Answer 1

Yes it's probably just a phase, but it could also be the fact that you are unhappy with your surroundings. You don't feel like your friends are real, and your unhappiness could be making you depressed. How much longer are you at this school before you go to college?

College is a whole new world. Just be outgoing and be yourself. Im sure you will make a ton of friends and have a lot more fun. Its all about your surroundings.

Answer 2

you know what is great about life, that you can always re-invent your self. I was really shy in middle school and since I was gay, on top of it, I had a really hard time getting along with the boys. When I got to high school I decided to change and I did, I became really outgoing befriend a lot of people and had a blast. Don't wait for college (though is a great place to re-invent your self) you can start meeting new people and being outgoing right now, volunteer for some organization, join some local youth group, or simply meet new people in the mall, you can do it, school is not the only place to find friends.
