Is it normal to feel like there is nothing in this life?

I keep looking in the past and missing all of the people I used to be friends with, and wishing I had kept in contact with many other people I used to know. Not exaggerating when I say I have no friends, not since middle school anyways, and i'm too nervous to properly talk with others, my anxiety is out of control, and I can foresee it tearing apart my life even more in the future. I just want to know is it normal to go through something like this? Im 17 and it doesnt seem like anyone else is having this problem by any means.

Is It Normal?

  • Yes I have same problem.I just cant socialize with people around even so that I cant make eye contact with people that I dont know.My all old school friends came and talk to me to be friend.I just dont know how to talk or continue the conversation with people and usually I dont converse.A friend even said to me that I am a cold person outside.He stated that I dont know how to chat with people and I give the signals of that I dont want to talk.But I do really wanted and tried.I cant make friends on my own and all friends that I have from old schooldays are fading away.I am becoming more and more lonely everyday.So I think exactly same with u that this ruins my life. 3 years to my age 25 and lets see will I laugh about it...

  • Hmm. If you were like me its more along the lines of two things, Introversion and social anxiety. Maybe the large school environment is what is preventing you from networking with others. So it it normal, well. no. but is it freekish? no its not either.

  • When your 25 you will look back on the problems you had and laugh, it only gets worse as you get older :) jk you will be fine, loads of kids have your problems, and worse. you need to learn to relax.
