Problems with society as a high school student Anonymous 11/23/15 (Mon) 18:57:18 15e9ef No.1192

Dear /sad/,

I don't know what to feel about myself. I feel pretty introverted around others and I feel rather sad about it. I want to have a lot of friends and do better academically, but so many people just reject me and I feel rather lost. I talked to my brother about this, and he told me that I should not worry about it because those people are not used to me easily, hence the fact that I recently became a part of their group.

I try to be fond of myself, but it never works out. I'm just a shy fuck who really can't step up too much. I barely have thoughts about suicide in general…

Academically, I feel as if I am doing great. I really have improved over the past few weeks. Socially, though, I'm like a ghost…

What is really the purpose of not changing yourself for a long time? I feel rather weird about it… I don't really understand what are the pros of a background person…

What exactly is a background person?

I would surmise that it is someone who stays in the background of life (sort of like someone who is a wallflower).

I'm 17 and in HS in a small school in Spain with little to no diversity especially in small cities and I'm a ghost too. Everyone has their groups and their social life and I'm a complete outsider I have no friends, not even acquaintances, I have never done normal things like going to parties and I don't remember the last time I went out with someone.Social media depress me so I try to avoid them.

Been a ghost through out my high school years (99-03). I didn't really want to fit in, I had some friends but never really hung out with them. Was always embarrassed to have them around my family. My sister was the popular prep athlete, I was her chubby big gothic brother even if I wasn't into goth I got to say from personal experiance don't worry to much about "fitting" in at high school. Most likely you wouldn't even remember most of the people, some of them will be going to the same college as you and maturity hits well during college. Right now just work on your academics and chill relax. College is when people change social wise so have that background person moment, when you hit college have fun.

Update from the user:

I kind of got a little better, so have my grades… I deleted my Instagram account due to it being a huge distraction from my life and studies. I apologise that I haven't been on this thread for long. I went to a business-related session for a summer programme sponsored by the mayor, and one of the guys told me to smile and read for 90 days (3 months). I'm kind of getting better here and there, but I tend to keep two different sides of myself on the outside and inside. Literature has been improving me gradually, since I am reading Brave New World for English class. Thank you for reading.
