Is it normal to feel lonely?

I am still in school (not going to say my age) and going through a tough time atm, I am not what you would call one of the popular bunch. although I do have friends. it feels as if all the girls I have ever met are on some sort of different level to me. if i even try to make contact with anyone above my level in popularity i'm shunted away and called a freak.
Is this normal or am I really a freak? how am i supposed to make friends if i'm turned away for talking to them?

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • It will get better and you're definitely not alone. I'm almost 26 and I feel like no one is on the same level as me. But hang in there, you'll be surprised how many people will appreciate how unique and interesting you are

  • I know how u feel. All i do is go to school and go straight back home bcuz i dont have any friends. My lil sis goes to the same school and she has tons of friends. Even she wont talk to me when we're at school. I often feel so left out and jealous bcuz i hear other ppl talking about goin to the mall or hanging out after school. Idk how it is for u but my problem is that ppl say im TOO shy and quiet and others say that im weird. I think that he world would be better if we all had at least one friend or bf/gf. Sadly i have neither.

  • It is perfectly normal to feel lonely. No matter who you are, or where you are in life. Every person is fundamentally ALONE because you are only yourself and even if you are with other people, you can only get so close. It is even possible to feel lonely even if you are with a lover. Life is lonely, however it does feel better to have loved ones with you. Many kids will grow up slower than others and there probably aren't many kids at your level right now, but it will get better when you are older. Just don't expect the loneliness to ever completely disappear, because no matter what only one person is actually INSIDE of you, but when you become close enough to someone there will be a place inside of you that they will meld with and it will get better. :)

  • I can easily empathize with you. What you're experiencing kid is experienced by many, many, guys (and a few girls), especially at your age. However, you never see characters in movies or on TV shows that are like that, so we often get the impression that being lonely or awkward around the other sex or people in general means you're not normal, when in fact it's very common.
    Life might be lonely now, but be assured in the knowledge that as long as you don't give up trying, everything will work out for you sooner or later.

  • Lol don;t worry man, you'll die alone some day feeling like your life was unfulfilled and pointless. See you're what I like to call a life loser, you will continue to be one until you change EVERYTHING about yourself and become those that are better than you. Being true to yourself is complete bull and will only lead you down a path leading towards a rope and beam that can support your dead weight. Wear what everybody else is wearing only better, act like you're better than everyone else but find a common ground with those that do the same. Every girls likes a douchebag they can swear up and down all day saying they dont't but they're either lying or too ugly to matter anyways so treat them like they're nothing and they'll flock to you. Schools all about how many girls you can plow and not about fake relationships so don't even think about getting attached or opening up to any of them unless you want to compromise your situation. The less you talk the better, because God knows you will FK up and say something stupid and the mysterious factor weighs in on girls. You can do it, your father got a girl (your mom) so why can't you? And I can guarantee your mother was plowed a bunch of times B4 finding your father so keep in mind girls have much more experience in the game then some males so It's like playing monopoly against someone that already has a gauntlet of hotels on the board and you havent even passed go yet
