<p>what? lol :D</p>
<p>I'm actually a LOT like the OP. I have lots of friends and stuff and I don't have problems talking to people, I just never go out. I guess my reason would be that I'm just not used to it because I move every 3 years and have to make new friends all over again. </p>
<p>I just don't really see what's so great about hanging out also. I already talk an ass load at school I don't really need more time to do that..</p>
<p>Yeah I guess that's my problem-INITIATING the going out. I mean, I do go out after every play and for school related stuff or parties I'm invited to, but it doesn't go much past that.</p>
<p>Haha I do hibernate when I get out of school. :P People I think I study a lot but I am the WORST procrastinator and don't study at all usually.</p>
<p>Like aristotle, I think this'll change in college when there are A LOT of people I'll be able to identify with--I mean, they are all in college after all.</p>
<p>I don't think the race thing is the main issue--I mean I think if I went to a white school I would hang out a lot, but there are white kids in my school who hang out...Idk</p>
<p>That's kinda me too so don't worry. Like I have friends in school but they are just that- schoolfriends. I don't hang out outside of school. I don't know why. </p>
<p>But I'm happy, so hey.</p>
<p>They usually say "Oh, you probably study for 11 hours a day in your room, locked up. You just pretend to be apathetic at school." I disagree, and they reply "Then what do you do?! I never see you outside!" I leave them to their own thoughts after this, and thus their conclusion is usually the wisp theory. "</p>
<p>AHA! Birds of feather! Except for the last part. I don't live near anyone I know, so that part would seem stalkerish.</p>
<p>I often talk with people at school, but outside, I have no social life.</p>

Yet I don't really hang out with people OUTSIDE of school...Like I have no real friends. I never go out on the weekends (I don't stay in and study either). I should be doing SOMETHING productive...but no, weekends are just me sitting on the computer and sleeping mostly.

<p>You just described me perfectly!</p>
<p>I have a decent online social life, though, if that counts. :cool: And I talk to school-people on Facebook.</p>
<p>I think a lot of it is because I didn't go out and socialize with people in freshman year or middle school, which is when people usually form their connections -- and I've been in weird classes, meaning it's rare to have two classes together with me ever. (Unlike lots of other people at my school, who basically have most of their classes together by senior year when there are thirty people left in their program.) So I've never really gotten too close to my classmates.</p>
<p>Or I just have no social ability. :D</p>
<p>Oh well, college will be different.</p>
<p>I go to a small school and my two best friends moved away. So now I talk to the other people in my class, but only in school because they're sitting next to me. I won't miss them when I go off to college.</p>
<p>As of now, I have no life. My dad found the half-gallon in my trunk and now I can't go out anymore. At least college starts in 5 weeks. Still, it's gonna suck not being able to party for probably the last time with all my high school friends.</p>
<p>I have a decent amount of friends in school, and while I have been hanging out with friends more since most of my friends can drive now, I'm still home by myself a lot. During the school year I pretty much prefer it that way, but it does suck a bit during summer. I go to a private school so kids live really spaced out from each other so that definitely contributes to the fact I don't hang out with them all the time but I also truly enjoy alone time. It's not that bad as long as you make sure to get out every couple of days and do something.</p>
<p>Screw what everyone else says about you not having a life. You are old enough to understand what is important and what is not. For example, I don't go to parties, I don't drink to kingdom come, I never even smoked weed in my life (no one believes me). Maybe I'm not cool in a regular type of word but I'm usually the most extroverted person in the classrooms (especially the math/science shifted one). And I spend time with friends that do something that I like: parkour on weekends, cross-country practices, programming user groups. </p>
<p>I say ***** strive for popularity and "having a life." Do what you like and don't give much crap about anything :)</p>
<p>^ Ye that's kinda how I think of it.</p>
<p>It's not like I'll EVER see these people the rest of my life. College friends > High School friends</p>
<p>"I have a decent online social life, though, if that counts. And I talk to school-people on Facebook."</p>
<p>:o Me too!! :P</p>
<p>And I still don't know how to make quotes. =/</p>
<p>I am the opposite of most people here. I go out usually every friday, saturday, and sunday. It's not like I go out and drink or anything, it's usually like going to starbucks and then a movie.</p>
<p>And believe me, it is a LOT better than staying home.</p>
<p>Well, if you're comfortable the way you are right now, what's to worry? I'm not sure that going out every weekend to get trashed is having a "life." Of course, I'm exaggerating, but as long as you're not becoming Gollum-like (for example), I don't think there's anything wrong with being a homebody.</p>
<p>Until senior year, I didn't go out much on weekends either. My parents were part of it; they wrinkled their foreheads when they thought I was having "too much fun." That is, they were afraid I'd get too wild and lose my grip on school.</p>
<p>I'm also an intensely private person; I value time to myself. Weekdays during the schoolyear are stressful, and weekends are a wonderful way to unwind. I like being able to sleep in and having time to watch TV. I like being lazy on weekends, and that's not something I need friends for.</p>
<p>Near the end of this year, though, I found that I hated being alone on weekends. I was always calling people to go out to lunch or dinner or to go shopping. Sometimes I'd go to a friend's house, and we'd pass the time being bored together.</p>
<p>Maybe your tastes will naturally change too.</p>
<p>I'm not alike most of you guys either. I don't have straight A's and never thought it was that much of a big deal. I normally go to parties, but now, I just feel like staying home. My friends always call me to go out but I either never pick up or make up some excuse. </p>
<p>I could go out and have a fun time, but recently, partying and going out isn't always fun for me. I feel like **** when I figure that I have accomplished nothing that day.</p>
<p>I tend to identify with only a few friends. I'll hang out with maybe 2-3 on a regular basis.</p>
<p>I'd rather go out with a big group of friends, but when I do go out, I go out with 2 at most.</p>
<p>I hate big groups of friends.</p>
<p>Hate, hate, hate.... hate, hate.</p>
<p>I love big groups of friends - more fun and less awkward</p>
