Does anyone else feel this way?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I feel really alone at school. I have people to talk to in all of my classes, and a group to sit with at lunch, and I'm never really actually alone, but I feel like everyone around me is kind of just a good acquaintance. There are kids at my school who are actually alone and eat lunch by themselves and are so reserved and quiet, and I feel bad for them in a kid of "I'd hate to be in that position" type of way, but at the same time, I feel like I'm sort of similar, just that my loneliness isn't as evident. </p>

<p>I apologize if this sounds really somber and depressing, I'm not trying to make it that way. I'm not sad or anything, this is just an observation I made. It doesn't really affect me in any way. I was just wondering if this is a normal feeling.</p>

<p>I certainly do. Mainly because the people around me are obnoxious or it’s just because if my timid/anti-social nature. If would just talk I wouldn’t feel as so, but apparently that’s not the case. I focus on my school work and school work alone without trying to be social. Bad? Yes, but that’s only within class. During lunch us when I meet up and actually talk with my friends.</p>

<p>Well I’m not really lonely in general, but I don’t have a best friend. Never have really, always just been the kid that talks to a lot of different kinds of people, not the kind that has one best friend. Generally as the year drags on I kind of get annoyed with people and how immature everyone is so then I start to feel a little more lonely I guess.</p>

<p>Tl;dr You’re not alone, preamble.</p>

<p>Yeah, sometimes I feel like that as well. My closest friends graduated last year and I don’t really have a best friend. My girlfriend kind of doubles as my best friend, but we don’t see each other in school much if at all</p>

<p>This is/was me. It’s such an awkward thing to talk about with other people because they always assume it’s a problem and there’s something wrong with you. But you don’t miss things you never had.</p>

<p>Yeah, I kind of feel the same way. I have one best friend and we are pretty much attached at the hip, but all my other friends are pretty much acquaintances. Kind of sucks on the days she’s gone/in classes we don’t have together, but it isn’t that bad really.</p>

<p>I know this. In my case (and in many others apparently) this temporary feeling of loneliness is often connected with that I don’t have a best friend. Actually, I think most of the people don’t have a best friend and many people meet their best friends in college or even at work. That calms me down a bit. But nevertheless, feeling lonely is nothing bad, as long as you want it to pass by.
