Hey guys, lately my life has been feeling very empty, I feel as though I cant interact with my friends very much because they all have computers and can talk to eachother and have fun with eachother through this, I on the other hand do npt have a computer, nor can I get one, I cannot even talk to my friends outside of schoolwithout a computer. This aside, whenever they have get togethers or hang out, I never get invited, or just get forgotten. and my other friends from out of school is an issue tpo, I cant ever see them because I cant go to parties, or other such things with them. My parents never want to talk about this stuff with me, and my friends have the emotions of a brick wall. The other issue is that in two weeks I will be finished school, and will probably never get to see my friends again because I cant contact them.

I just hate feeling so damned empty and sad all of the time

I guess what im looking for is just some hope from you guys and maybe some advice too if you want

I presume you are eighteen or so and are finishing up high school. First of all let me say that most people don't keep in touch with their friends from high school after they graduate, so you won't be missing much there. Not that I expect this will make you feel any better, but that is just typically what happens. They will go off to college or get jobs and girlfriends, or move to a different town or city, and you'll probably never speak to them again. There are exceptions, of course, but your friends don't sound like the kind to be exceptions.

As for your inability to socialize with them right now, you say you don't have a computer, yet you are posting on an imageboard. This means that you at least have access to a library or are able to borrow a computer. So your problem isn't really that you don't have a computer. You also have people who you call friends to begin with, so you must have been able to socialize with them without the aid of electronics at one point. Your real problem seems to be your inability to relate with your friends, who you say are emotionless and spend most of their time online.

So in that vein, I guess I have some questions before I can help you. Have you ever been diagnosed with depresssion or any other mental illness? Do you ever feel socially anxious? How is your relationship with your parents and have you tried talking to them about these issues rather than waiting for them to talk to you? Why is it that you can't go to parties or talk to your other friends from outside of school?

Well I posted this from my phone, so I still cant access a computer, but that is really a lame thing to be upset about.

As for your questions, I have not been diagnosed with anything like that, I do get socially anxious pretty often, I have a good relationship with my parents, and I actively do try to talk to my parents, but they just deny me, I cant go to parties because my parents dont let me, and since im only 17 I really dont need shit from my parents

Thanks for thre other advice too

I remember having a similar feeling in high school. I always felt left out of social gatherings. It's alright. It gets better. As the anon in >>299 (also checked) said, you probably won't maintain a lot of contact with these people after high school anyway. College or the workforce is really a fresh start.

Why don't you try texting them more? You can still do that without a computer. Also, sometimes you do have to take the initiative and try to set something up with your friends instead of waiting for them to come to you. I know it's not always the best feeling having to do that (I was in the same boat), but it's better than no social interaction. Just don't be afraid to reach out.
