It's not that I'm a loner, or shy or anything. I talk to people all the time, and i have a group of friends that i hang out with at school. But the thing is that i feel like they don't really care about or like me. That's why i never bother to ask if we can hang out or do anything on the weekend. I get the feeling that people feel as though they can't approach me either, because i do really well academically and i appear to be quite outgoing, so they probably assume that I'm too busy doing something important to hang out. Either that or they just don't like me.

I don't want any of them to meet my parents either. My parents are both old enough to be my grandparents, and they're divorced. My mother is also incredibly sick (she has lupus in her brain, she's obese and she had a spinal injury a few years ago that required surgery) Both of my parents are idiots!!! and I'm not even kidding, neither of them have any friends so i don't know where I'm supposed to look to on this one.

I'm leaving school soon, so I'm kinda freaking out, i don't want to be stuck living on my own with no friends. I'd probably just get really depressed.

Any suggestions.

    I know what you mean. It seem's there are countless people around to have a laugh with but true friendship, with someone you really care for is for me at least a rare thing. I shut myself away a little after high school, partly due to my growing insecurities and partly because of the reason you described. I regret it though. Untill the past few months I only had 1 true friend because of it, I lost contact with my high school group. Last week I was in a club and saw one of my old mates we got talking and he was saying that he missed hanging out and that I had always been a friend he'd felt close to. I of course had no idea. Maby these friends care more than you think. Also the way you do get closer to people is by hanging out with them in an environment outside of the norm (school work ect). So say my previous thought was wrong and the friendships are a little hollow, go out and make them stronger, that doesn't happen by sitting around it happens by hanging out and having fun, so have fun. You might regret it later otherwise, trust me :)

    Does anyone?

    Can they ever be sure?

    Do you ever really know how anybody feels?

    Share a pizza and if there is one slice left and they say you should have and and then you say it too and you keep saying it till one of you says lets split it.

    There you have a true friend.
