I'm sure eventually you'll see progress if you keep trying,  
9 months is plenty of time to see any results.

     

    Not necessarily.


3/4ths of a year is long enough to see if it is possible for someone to get friends or get a crush. Yet none of that has happened.

   

  Getting a crush is not something you try for, its just something that happens.    

  And as for getting friends, theres more to that than just being outgoing. Its relating to a person, etc.

  Im far from outgoing, but I make friends so insanely easily. I dont even know how it happens, because I generally hate people. However, everyone seems to think we are friends and that we are like super close.


So you are going to sit here and lie to me saying that people don't try to get a relationship and it just happens? What kind of random bullshit are you trying to convey to me. People like other people for a reason. Mainly because the other person serves the purpose of satisfying the first. Not because random shit happens, but only to make yourself happier. Why else would you get into a relationship, to make the other person happy, no, to make you happy, noone else.

 

 You cant just be outgoing in hopes to find love though. Not just outgoing people get relationships.

 It is more something that happens. You will meet someone and develop feelings for them. You dont just simply get feelings for someone just because your outgoing and talk to them.  

 For it to have any sort of meaning, you have to get to know them, yes. However, just because you get to know a bunch of people doesnt mean you are going to develop feelings for any of them.  

 Outgoing =/= lots of friends  
 Outgoing =/= relationships


But I was told that being Outgoing helps...

Eh...

If thats not your personality, your only going to make "friends" with people who you hate.

I mean, you need to be open, willing to strike up conversations and what not, but actively trying to be outgoing? I think you just need to be more true to how you are. If you are shy and kinda quirky, be shy and kinda quirky. The right people will think thats awesome.

Me being myself is why nobody likes me. And I don't mean popular I mean The preps, normal kids, nerds, other black kids dislike me because of the way I am. So I need to change to something else.

Why the rush? Things take time. I've been trying to get a boyfriend for the past 4 years. It still hasn't happened but I'm honestly not worried about it.
