I need to broaden my social circle

Tagged as: Friends, Teenage<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (1 August 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 August 2012)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Today is the 1st of august, and i haven't hung out with a friend since the beggining of july. I rely on one friend entirely too much for my social life. I realistically have about 3 friends i can call up and hang out with.

And one friend has been off the grid, working constantly and not texting back. The other friend has been busy or on vacation whenever i talk to her. And the one friend i rely on too much has been on vacation, with her cousins, etc.

I feel so pathetic. I wasted a month of my life, of my precious summer. I felt pathetic about it before, started texting friends outside the three to get a better social life, and in my head i "tried". But i didn't say "oh hey, we should hang out soon!" or anything.

Pathetic. I haven't felt this low about anything since i was in 5th grade. I'm 15 now.

What can i do to not feel so disgusted by my pathetic-ness?

Well at least you have realised and been doing something about your situation. Why not suggest to some of these people that you text that you hang out? Nothing to lose after all.

I agree about the voluntary work, could be a good way to meet people. Also any group where you meet people your own age group, or a youth club maybe.

eyeswideopen agony auntIs there some volunteer work in your community that is open to 15 year olds? Staying busy and helping others is a great solution when we are feeling down. Look into it.
