wilsondhp:
What I've been wondering in the recent months is who all of you were (or still are) in school. Now I'll start. In school, I was the outcast, just a lonely coyote. I don't have much friends. I live in my own world. I probably will never date until I get out of high school. When we choose seats and I took a seat that someone else wanted, his or her friend would tell them: Why don't you ask him to move, it's not like he actually has feelings.

BretBuscus:
Wow. I'm sorry to hear that people are like that to you. Those people are horrible people.

vespamartio:
We'll I would describe myself as two types of people:

#1: I'm that person that has many different groups of friends, but the groups don't know each other.

#2: I'm that person, aside from #1, that finds the "lone coyotes" and makes each of them my friends and they meet each other and that makes the many different groups of friends I has.   :>

I was never really hated back when i was in school, i got along with just about everyone... but i didn't really have a set group of friends until middle school, because of my weight. I grew up (and still am) overweight and horribly poor. When I got to middle school, I realized i didn't have any actual "friends" (mostly because we moved around so much. Middle school was my first year where I would stay the entire year, and not move halfway through and have to start all over again). I ended up sitting at a random table one day though, and ended up making friends with them (about 6 at the time) because of our love for fantasy books (Lord of the Rings, The Edge Chronicles, etc)

I never was a very normal kid though, so i loved to take as many art classes/odd classes as I could. Instead of taking Spanish like every other kid in my school, I was one of 20 in the entire school who took German (and because of it, I met Thearchitekkit (Jim), who later became my boyfriend/fiance!), AND i was the only girl who took welding 2 years in a row. I started out as the first girl in Graphics Design too, where we worked with big printing presses and a GIANT camera -- we would make banners for sports games, business cards and personalized notepads for teachers/principals, and even a little outside work like wedding invitations for people in the community.

If i were to give anyone advice though, it's to not worry about romance and relationships in school. Just, don't. Myself, and a couple of my friends were lucky enough to grow up and marry our highschool-sweethearts, but nearly everyone I know, didn't meet their boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever, until college or after.

Make friends if you can, take classes that interest you, not just ones that will look good on your diploma (Latin looks good on your diploma, but Welding is SO much more fun and practical!) and relax when you can. And don't you let ANYONE tell you that "online friends aren't real friends". Especially so here on famcraft -- out of the BILLIONS of people in this world, you were able to make friends with someone on the other side of the globe/country/etc, with the help of the internet. People you share interests with, people you may never would have met if it weren't for computers :) We may not be able to give you a real hug (even when we really REALLY want to), or have sleepovers at eachother's houses, but we do our best <33

I know i wouldn't have made it through school if it hadn't been for my internet friends back then :)

 I was always a loner too. I still am. It's okay to not surround yourself with people. Try to find a way to enjoy your own company. Embrace your hobbies and skills. Lose yourself in books or make up your own stories and write them down. If there's one thing I'm sure of its that one does not require other people to be happy.

 I've often been treated as if I have no feelings as well. I assume this is in part because irl in tend to be a bit standoffish and quiet. I don't recall this ever bothering me too much,  mostly just an observation.

 If you want friends, I do hope you find them. I believe society tries to convince us being social is the natural/normal way to be, and tries to make us feel like misfits if we are not. In reality, being social is a choice you have every right to make based upon what actually makes you happy.

 Try to be true to yourself first and foremost without worrying too much about what anyone thinks. This may let you be happier on your own, or even help you find good company you didn't know was hiding in plain sight.
