So I grew up seeming to have no problems. I had a close group of friends and a wealthy loving family. The last year of high school and the first year at college were so much different. I never partied my last year, due to a strict upbringing. It now seems like I'm outta the loop at college. I've never had a girlfriend and never have lots of friends just a few. I don't know if my personality is too mature or I'm to wild at times. Its not my looks as younger girls whistle at me a lot and I've been asked to work for a modeling agency before. And please I am not trying to sound self absorbed. I'd more proud to have lots of friends and a special someone. I just want the truth out there. I do look young for my age tho..does this push girls away? Anyways I've resorted to materialism because its a way for me to say f you to those who I feel shut me down but really probably don't. I'm starting to become depressed and am worried.I feel I'm becoming farther from those I do have. Any tips? Is this normal? Thank you so much!

    Money does not equal happiness. the sooner you realize that the better you will be. I know from the way you explain yourself it must be difficult to get out of it. I would suggest, perhaps some metaphysical therapy. this may sound nuts but it's helped many people i know.

    I got a package of amethyst beads and after having studying how they affect people and seeing their problems I made a necklace for them and instructed them to wear it for 30 days and to see what happened, It gave them a physical and psychological boost. You see, amethyst helps you find your true goal in life. It may sound wacky, but keep an open mind.

    Here is some background information .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6pYAiRqhio try watching it to see what I mean.. Crystals were sacred in ancient Egypt, Atlantis, and even are used among other advanced cultures. Keep an open mind!

    I must also mention that it has nothing to do with the occult whatsoever. Crystals come from the Earth, which is beauty and love and in turn comes from 'god'.

    You're not the only college freshman to fall from your own previous sense of security - and yes, pride - to new challenges in relationships and values.

    But perhaps there is another approach rather than becoming bummed out (depressed) or annoyed at others for failing to appreciate your fabulousity.

    Lay aside these transitional doubts & feelings. They just get in the way. Make an effort to reach out, take an interest in & be active with other people. Organize gatherings. A lot are going through the same stuff you are - leaving home, growing up, alone etc..

    Give that a chance & I bet you'll find yourself in a social situation more to your liking.
