-- Posted by Anonymous at 10:51 am on Oct. 15, 2008 Ive been feeling so down recently. I was hoping College would be good, chance to make new friends and everything but its really not. Everyone i add on myspace/msn and try to make new friends with doesnt talk, and im not by anyone in my lessons. I feel like a stalker if im always the one to talk. Its not just that though, im really shy and never actually know what to say to people in real life. I always feel like people are looking at me and laughing but at the same time im desperate for attention. Ive never felt so lonely, i only have one person id count as a friend :| -- Posted by Dylan90 at 10:54 am on Oct. 15, 2008 Heh, I have the same problem, I always feel like a stalker if I talk so I tend to avoid talking to them. Be glad you have that one person. : | -- Posted by Falling Slowly at 11:00 am on Oct. 15, 2008 Hey I've felt the same way many times.  Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. -- Posted by shadowsun9 at 11:10 am on Oct. 15, 2008 I was in the same boat as you, so as harsh as this is gonna sound, time to fucking grow up, break your past your fucking safety bubble and just talk to people, even if it's something asinine like "what are you working on"or "how are you doing on that project for that class", you'd be surprised where a simple hello can get you. -- Posted by J BiGGZ at 11:27 am on Oct. 15, 2008 I'm in that same situation, except I'm not in college. All my life i have always been shy around people, I'm not sure why. In reality there is no need to. For some people it is really hard, and for other people it isn't. Back to your situation, it seems like you really haven't been trying to make friends. I didn't see that in you topic at all. You can try being more outgoing. If your just generally a shy person, then you can go with your friend(the person you mentioned in your topic). And just go out and meet people. Allot of people have that kind of problem, don't worry your not the only one going through that. The whole world is not looking at you. You feel like there looking at you probably because you feel left out or something. Just give it time, time is the key. I hope everything works out for you for the better.  :)
