    Hiya,

    I'm sure you do but just don't realise. I think the “best friend” thing's a myth anyway and all it does is make people feel as if there's something wrong if they haven't got one.

    Good friends can have absolutely nothing in common, but still be there to help you when you need it. Be nice to people and pursue your own interests, try to be happy with or without any friends and you'll find some eventually.

    It's definitely normal, and I'm sure almost everyone has felt this way at some point in their life. My best advice is to become your own best friend and learn to love yourself. This will ultimately make you more emotionally stable and less dependant on other people.

    Yeah, at some point we've all felt like that - believe you me, if it continues get a new group of friends!

    not alone, I'm about to go back to college and I'm not worried about making friends..I could care less, a lot of people today are a waste of time for me, I'll be happier working on my art and getting a better education without supposed "friends" keeping me occupied. I used to be pretty social but then I started going through the same things as you and I decided it's best for me to do my own thing than worry about friends. If I ever find true friend(s) they'll present themselves in time.

    I feel the exact same way. Entirely - I have practically NOTHING to do with any of my friends apart from one or two.
    I'm 17 also and have one more year of school before univeristy so perhaps it isn't as abnormal as you think - it may be a good thing to distance yourself from your mates before you leave - assuming you are leaving after next year, of course.
    Hang in there! You're better than those who don't want to make the effort for you! Good luck and have a happy year! x

    Normal. No advice (except usual generic crap I don't want to bother you with).
