My Life is turning Upside Down

[Nynaeve]

When I graduated HS I went away to school just like all my friends. The big difference was, I dropped out and didn't have a job and moved back in with my mom. Everyone was happy and doing great in school and totally forgot that I existed.
There are certain points in your life when you realize that there is a big difference between your real friends and the people that you are used to....
It sounds like your buddy is a real friend, so from my experience that will never change. You can live on the other side of the world from him but it won't matter, because you share a special bond. It's stronger than any gf or bf in the world can break.
Once I reconnected with one of my real friends, I realized my life wasn't worthless and it kinda gave me the strength to do things to help myself.

As far as your parents and family go, it's hard to suddenly see the little kid they knew as an adult. It's gonna take a while for them to figure that out, and the best way to help them realize it is to do adult things....like go to community college and get a steady job, even if it's working in a gas station. Do adult things and you will feel like an adult, and they'll start to see you as one.

Don't feel too bad dude, i'm going through the same thing. I'm going to go to high school until i'm 19 (I turn 19 in a month), I have no job with virtually no money and in the past few months i've managed to alienate all of my friends so I essentially have no true real friends right now, and the ones that have left never even said goodbye...

I just went though this last year...

I turn 19 in 5 days... I understand the situation fully...

But I have made a lot aof new friends in community college, and I still am in touch with my really good friends from high school

as for a job... everyone's having trouble with that now... :X

Yeah, once I go to college i'm sure that situation will change and its not like i've lost all my friends, I occasionally facebook them back and forth but other then that I never hear from them.

It just sucks how now, I can literally go days without having a face to face conversation with someone who isn't my mom

I've actually been unemployed for 3 years :X combination of getting my priorities in order and being hormonally lazy...

This sounds exactly like me last year. *CEN-2.0-SORD* sucks. Things will get better. I swear. It's just a big change. If you don't want to losse touch with your friends, it's not too late.

Except it might be, I mean my two best friends never talk to me anymore (one of them hates me for absolutely no reason, seriously if you talk to her she will give you no reason)

The rest it might not be too late for although I remember having a crush on a girl a few years back that hasen't gone away and I blew it, the last time I saw her I completely ignored her and now she's in South america and I have no clue whether i'll speak to her again althouhg I just noticed that she removed all her tags of her from my facebook photos so that might be a no

Bones15: Yeah i'm legal in 4 weeks , although I probably won't be able to go out drinking....you know based on my situation right now well that and most of the friend I do have around here aren't legal....

Ahh well let's all hope this crappy world gets better!!

Dude, I spent almost my entire high school career chasing some girl, making myself miserable...

and now I'm with somebody completely different, and she makes me way happier than anyone ever has

Wow your advice really helped thank you.
Yeah I understand me and him will still be friends. But it's just so odd, he's the only friend that lives near me. All my school friends live far away from me because my town doesn't have a High School. So I never hang out with them outside of school, and my friend Ricky lives just two houses away. So it's really weird to see him go.

Yeah I have a friend like that, we hung out all summer but as time flew by I never see him anymore. I saw him on a bus into town a week ago but that's the closest i've gotten to hanging out with him in 4 months....

It's not like I can't make new friends, its just hard to fine nerds like me who aren't completely lame...

Well it sounds like you live in the middle of nowhere. There usually isn't too much diversity in most small towns, so going to a cc might make the difference. Join study groups and meet more people who have similar interests. You won't feel so alone!

Ok here's the weird thing. I'm not exactly in the middle of nowhere. I live near Los Angeles. Which means I'm in LA County. Which is the largest county in the United States. (i think?)
But my City is full of old people! And since I'm afraid of cars, I can't drive to the next city or two to see my school friends. I'm weird like that. ^^

I'm in the middle of nowhere, I live in a small town of 1000 people and most of them are either.

young and stupid
old and ignorant
stoners

That's essentially my entire town population right there....

 

[Nynaeve]

I'm sure there's some public transportation, buses and the whatnot? They're a lot safer than cars!

 

[Miranda]

I'm sure there's some public transportation, buses and the whatnot? They're a lot safer than cars!

yes i was going to mention the public transit as well, and it's cheaper than paying for gas!!

 

[Bones15]

I'm sure there's some public transportation, buses and the whatnot? They're a lot safer than cars!

Yeah my town is actually not that small. 15,000 people. But my neighborhood is like a secret society. Lol. We all know each other, and our faults. It's quite fun actually. ^^ It's like living in Desperate Housewives only without horrible acting, and the old people don't look as ugly.
