I feel like I have no friends. Well, let me word that correctly. I have friends but i feel like it's just a school or work friendship and that once i graduate or stop working they will dissapear from my life. I'm a senior in high school and I like meeting new people I just struggle with talking because of my years of being alone. This caused me to not make many friends but I feel like the ones I do have dont really care about me, they never attempt to make any contact with me outside of school unless I make the effort to. I'm scared that once i graduate I'll end up alone because they dont seem to really want to be apart of my life, I fear that everyone I do meet will find me boring and I'll die alone. My parents tell me not to worry and to just talk to people and I try, I'm just so awkward and can never come up with ideas on what do say. I'm scared for the rest of my life I'll be that friend no one really cares about and I'll be easily forgotten. I just wanted to say this somewhere because I've let this fear build up for so long. Maybe I'm just weird and this is how life is like?

    I'm much older than you and I still feel weird speaking to strangers.

    I wouldn't say it's "normal" but I don't think it is "weird" either.
    But first you have to ask yourself this question; what is wrong about being alone?

    Okay from what you told me, you probably just haven't found the right friends yet. A llot of people feel the way you do. I know I did when I was in school. As there were people there that only talked to me in school and not outside of it. But the sad fact of life, is that depending on the situation and how busy other people are with their lives, you'll most likely loose a few friends after school. How to cope with that is to just focus more on yourself, if thats the case. Who knows? One day you could become really successful then everyone will want to know you

    Listen, everyone has got some topic they won't shut up about. Like they're passionate/interested about it. Could be football, could be science, could be movies, could be chess, or could be celebrities or some make-up type of bullshit.

    You want to NOT be boring to potential friends?

    1) Know which stuff you're interested in and can talk abundantly about.

    2) Meet and get to know people who are interested in that same stuff. That way neither of you gets bored when the other yammers on.

    Example: You like those celebrities type of stuff. Go to TMZ or something similar, get an account, and gradually befriend the regular commenters under those stories, saying shit like "Omg this bitch is crazy, I think the same as you! Let me suck your tits!" or whatever females say to each other. And then you get used to each other, and you become quasi-friends. Same goes for video games, animals, and all that stuff, where you can meet them in conventions and shelters and so on.

      Thank you for that advice I will try it, I also heard people like to talk about themselves so I can ask people questions. If I can come up with any
