Is it normal that i hate my life and wish i were someone else?

My life sucks. I can count the number of friends I have ever had on one hand, none at the moment. All I do is play tennis for my school, practice, go home, eat, and sleep. I sometimes wish I could end this and run away and start a new life. Thanks to a few people I have grown up with I have no reputation and am ignored in school. I sit alone every day at lunch in a trance of what I wish my life could be like and how much I hate myself. Just the other day after loosing a tough match on the long ride home I sat still leaning against the window listening to my depressing music watching all the trees go by wishing I could change my life and become "normal" like everyone else. I go from wishing I weren't alive to wishing I could be someone else constantly. The only time I feel normal is when I'm sleeping, mostly dreaming of what it would feel like to be dead. I've tried but cant make friends, never had a Girlfriend, but often fantasize and daydream of having one. There is one constant through all three of my fantasies, I feel almost weightless and almost not in my body. I don't know if I can take this much longer, the only way I'm getting through it now is 6hrs of tennis practice a day that somewhat disconnects me with what is going through my mind. Please Help!

  • Ok...you know...from someone who has battled with the same feelings when I was in high-school (I'm 42 now)
    You're going to have the Stepford Wives types telling you to "read the bible! It makes you happy!" ...ugh...believe what you feel touches your heart man...but that isn't all of it.
    Lighten up...smile and joke once in awhile. You'd be surprised at how differently people take you.
    When I was 14, I was suicidal...tried to figure out how to do it cleanly when an aunt of mine told me to make light of myself...laugh with people who make fun of me...they'll see you in a different light. "If you can laugh at yourself, you'll have a lifelong source of entertainment.."
    The guys who ostracised me are now my closest friends. I have a happy wife of 22 years, 3 kids, and the value of lifelong memmories...
    Hahaha...I was even mentioned by the valedictorian at graduation for some of the goofy things I did...
    Haha...I often think back to when I felt exactly like you. I promise...it will get better..

    I am going through the same thing in my school and I keeping thinking "what was the point of me ever being born when I don't even make a difference" I have no idea what to say to make you feel better buy just to tell you u are not alone.

    It will get better so please dont do anything stupid. Lighten up and do things you love and are passionate about and share it with people who have the same interests. Friendships will blossom just try to be patient.

    i feel so bad when kids get into these situations. there are lots of posts with very unhappy kids. i wish i knew what to say to you to make you feel better. i can tell you that this won't last forever.

    so, is there a tennis team that you are on? if so, where do those kids eat lunch? do your homework on the weekends at the library, maybe some students do that also, and you will get to know them.

    maybe you are spending too much time on the court (filling up your spare time) and not enough time getting out in the neighborhood in which to meet anyone. think about different ways you can get out and about. hang in there kid:)

  • I used to be like you had no friends etc etc then I completely changed my look to be more edgy and cool then people started to approach me. Also I prayed a lot, to make friends. Also believe in the power of magick. Do a magick spell to find friends. Surround yourself with images of people happy like on your wall for instance. I wish I can help you seriously because you remind me of myself once. Now I've blossomed into this flower that everyone wants to be around. You want to be someone else well you can be if you change

    Get interested in something else. Do your self a favor... Read the bible. I wish I read it in high school. Man would my life be great right now. Not that it's not right now, I'm pretty happy. But errrgh! It's all good just sometimes I think, "if I would have known what I knew now..." and yes it's only been 3 years. But still get on it asap. :-)
