Is it normal to have noone to talk to.

Ok, so i dont have anyone close enough to vent any of my feeling to.... My dad left when i was 6, he has visitation rights but doesnt even talk to me anymore, an he missed my graduation for his step sons kindergarden grad.... My mom is a fat, lazy, hypocritcal, person, who hasent bought legitimate groceries in weeks. It doesnt help that im a picky eater so ive been running on an almost empty stomach for to long. I have two actual brothers, one is extremely charismatic and the other is an average kid..... The charismatic one really gets me down because he goes out evry nigjt and im always home.... I have a video game addiction, and no friends.....sorry if this is hard to read, but im tired and crying myself to sleep.....im an 18 yo guy btw.....

    Hang out with the other weirdos; goths, metalheads, nerds, and gays are really awesome people and most of them like making new friends. I was the most awkward person on earth in high school and certainly was nowhere near being a cool or at least a normal kid. I was a loner at times but with a little effort you can make new friends.

    After high school your life will improve millions, I promise you that! High school is the worst years of your life, but life opens up soso much! The way i see it is if you can get through high school you can do anything on planet earth!

    The road ahead is not an easy one which is why you want it done as quickly as humanly possible. Raise your hand in class once in a while, let people hear your voice and know that you're not someone to be scared of, people will notice and some may even make an effort to talk to you. I'm sure you have some opinions on things in English or History class, share them. What's the worst that can happen? You're wrong? That'll happen a million times in your life and you learn more from mistakes that from any success.

    You are not a hopeless case, you just beat to your own drum. Now it may make you an outcast, but the original and different people are the most valuable ones in the workforce. No company wants to be average, they want to be different, stand out, and be better. They do that by having bright, original, outside of the box thinkers like you.

    When you're not happy with where you are in life then you must change. It won't be a rapid process but think of a goal which will make you happier, for you it would probably be to enliven your social life, get a girlfriend, or to get the hell out of your parent's house. Then start taking small steps to work towards it. The first step is to get a job because with no money you can't go anywhere.

    If your goals are socialization based, revamp your personal style to fit in more (fitting in was a big thing to overcome for me because I had always been an outcast in high school), make an effort to talk to strangers even if it is just a "hi, how are you?", get more involved in a person's life to become a friend.

    If your goals are to get out, then you need a job and you need to save every penny possible and focus on moving up in a company. It's possible to be a supervisor after a year of working somewhere and actually make a livable wage. Or you could apply for grants and loans to go away to college.

    Life is hard, but you're on the cusp of your future either finished or in your last year of high school. You can wipe off your past and create a brand new future for yourself, all you need is the will. When you're at rock bottom the only way left to go is up!

  • OP I know how you feel. Frankly I've been in your shoes, honestly I suggest making online friends. I would offer to give you my e-mail but I'm afraid others on this site will try to spam me. I hope you find someone to talk to, you seem like a decent fellow. Stay strong man.

    Its hard to get freinds, because ppl already see me as a loner and think just because they hang out with me they lose some of thier status..... So its like a black hole that im too deep in to crawl back out of. Also when i try to talk to ppl all i can get is "hey, whats up??" but after that i dont know what to talk about...

    You might try the Myers Briggs Personality Test. It can help you better understand yourself and other people, why we all act the way we do and how we interact with each other. You can read about it on wiki. Some schools offer this test, or there are online versions.

    Try to eat healthy: lean meats, beans, and nuts for protein, fresh veggies and fruit, and lots of water. Your mind and body need this. If your mom is slacking on the groceries, can you and/or your brothers help? Please find a way to get the good food you need.

    Remember, nothing is forever, good or bad. Believe in yourself. Be patient with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be willing, and expect, to work hard for what you want. Life can be tough. You be tuffer. Have you read "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton?

    And favorite quotes:
    "You're never alone or helpless. The force that guides the stars guides you too." - Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

    "Find a place inside [yourself] where there is joy, and the joy will burn out the pain." / "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls." / The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure. - Joseph Campbell

    Good luck on your adventure!

    Great job!! You're already putting it into action and getting results sooner than i did. As long as you have the desire to better yourself constantly, nobody can best you.

    Oh and if you want more detailed stuff about interacting, read 'how to win friends and influence people' by Dale Carnegie. You can probably find a torrent of it if you don't like paying for things like me. It's a little bit old but the principals remain the same even today.

  • Hang around the charismatic brother more. Eventually you'll become more like him.

    If you can't beat them, emulate them! It's what the Romans did.

    I'd honestly love to be your friend! I've got several disposable emails, so here's one you can use to get in touch with me. I really don't check it much, but I will for 5 days, starting today in a row just for you. I'd like to talk to you and become your friend. I'm 18/F, btw.

  • Focus onwhat you need to do rather than complaining about what others do and then maybe you will move on, you can't expect everything to change just because you cry about it.
