Troubles in the island of loneliness

First of all, let me apologize for repeating the same old 'oh i'm alone, what could be wrong?' question once more. I assure you, I'll try to keep it as concise as possible. I am a soon 24 years old girl from Hungary. I've never had friends and now I believe I cannot take another step further with people. It's the darkest pit I've ever fell into.
In secondary school there were some classmates, who eventually used me and my naivety, a couple of extra pounds. I've always wanted to have a 'circle', so I tried to impress them but every action I took led to mockery and cruel games. So I went home and tried to find comfort with my parents. After some years went by, some of these merciless girls showed up at the my high school. Anyhow, I've still put effort just to fit in but as you could imagine, I failed. After stupid, untrue rumors spreading around the kids, the teachers as well, after getting left behind from every get-together, I stayed at home. Studying, surfing the net and letting my creative side take over could've mean one thing. Then about 10 years ago I've met a girl online, just like me. What was completely amazing? We could finish each other sentences, we eventually found that our hidden, artistic talent could be writing novels, experimenting with stories. So we started, and every week offered much more with her, in that safe cyberspace then out there in school. Or... at home. My great-grandma suffered two strokes somewhat later, so all the members of our family had to decide. They chose to take care of her at home. So finally, in school I had to deal with absolute loneliness, too. Watching someone suffer and slipping away from reality and life itself as well. Perhaps that girl and my creative intentions were the only things I could hold on to. I have to note here that she was as lonely as I was back then. After 3-4 years, we created amazing worlds but out there I somehow gave up understanding social codes, how to get closer to a boy. There wasn't anyone who I could actually like. I didn't go out, I couldn't lose weight. Eventually I thought, this really IS normal, after all my mom always wanted to comfort me with her -- now I know -- fictional lonely teenager years. I believed her back then. Gotta admit, I've always been very sickly. I missed out entire months, I got paralyzed at 14 for two weeks. My great-grandma died, so I wanted to change my life. First of all, the girl who I felt so close went to college one year before me and... pretty much made a tons of new friends. Got her first kiss and a camp-party, left me many times behind and stated 'I need others too'. That was the first time when I felt jealousy and guilt and that I might be a freak... Cause I needed that intimacy, that creativity and wanted to be her No1 friend all times. Another years later In short, I'm now a law student with no particular interest of the 'young adult night life'. I broke up with that 'bff' this year several times and... I just started wandering... What did I just screw up? I have colleagues, class mates but no mutual, 'fun' experiences to share. No one finds me entertaining enough to invite over. Going out or at least talking someone outside the 'official subjects' is too far away. At term-times I live alone at my apartment, in the summer at home. I prefer being alone most of the times, this helped me staying at the top of my class all the way. But... any other time... I don't feel anything else then being incapable, helpless, being a loner. Now my bff confronted me with a serious though: I'm needy, I'm possessive, so she's afraid to talk to me aside of our hobby. No one sees any normality here. My parents are always implying to 'a non-existent boyfriend, lack of it'.
Is there all there is? There's no joy, no real fun now. Only the law related dry subject, books, gray weekdays and - I'd never though I could say or write this but - lifeless, meaningless being... Why this suffering?
PS: Sorry for my possible bad grammar.

    You commenters so far are insensitive a-holes! Obviously you've never been in a situation as somebody that has been bullied or do you even have any empathy for such a person. I can say I understand because I know what it's like get picked on, to have a weight problem and just have to retreat into loneliness and be sad like this. I just have to say that while you're still young, life is definitely going to improve! Embrace your creative side. Try out some meditation crystals. Creative types are usually intuitive types that society tends to not understand. I would recommend going into a metaphysical store and start handling the different rocks and crystals and see if there is one that you feel a connection with. This was very common in ancient Egypt and Atlantis because they saw the power of your mind as being a principle state of being. Try it!

    Sometimes for whatever reasons , including childhood experiences and our on genetic make up, we can have trouble socializing, making friends, attracting people....it can be everything from depression, anxiety, etc. to various types of personality disorders...then are lack of friends does make us needy and this can be sensed by others and further scare them away......trust me , I feel like you and have practically no friends.......never date...spend most of my time alone...most of my problems is depression and anxiety...

    Anyway, those personality and mood issues are almost impossible to fix ...for me I go to counseling and take medication....

    However, you can improve your social skills by socializing at any opportunity...you can even join group counseling.....this can help you start to develop those social skills that will make it easier for you to socialize , have fun and attract people

    I think youve just forgotten how to have fun. Do something new! Dont overthink it. Seriously your a writer as it seems and im pretty sure you overthink way to much.
    Just think of something that you think would be fun and do it. Part of having fun is doing something your not comfortable doing.
    Life starts in the uncomfortable side. Baby steps it. Remember don't overthink it or else you will be your worst enemy. lighten up you seem way to serious. Goodluck!

    Hey girl
    First of all, some people here will be mean to you but they're like that with everyone so dont worry.
    Secondly, you cant give up. You just havent found the right group of people yet! Did you ever consider moving in with some classmates? Like if you're a good student, other good students might be happy to study with you and you cant think they're doing that only to become top of class. Usually people with common interests like to get together and if they are already good students, they will admire you and want to be like you. As for getting a boyfriend well, that's harder, most people find it extremely hard to start a relationship but certainly the best way for you to get there is to get some friends first. If you're good at writing, you're probably good at having conversations about interesting topics. Find people like you :) maybe you could start watching anime, you can find loads of cool people on that part of the internet.
    Good luck and dont give up

    Let me... apologize, sarcasm against myself - as these lines show - are my weapons. Anyway... you're judgment is clear: no, it's not normal.
