Were you a loner in school?

[Guest1]

jaja thats the story of my life

morning when u get to school i always went to teachers room to hangout the ones i liked cause i didnt have friends'
till my sister started when i was a junior thru senior year i hung out with her when i could she was popular and i met popular people and had few people talk to what a relief

when i went to lunch i always went to the parking lot or basketball courts and shot the basketball when you have no one hangout with thats what i did to occupie my self


i also joined the sport teams to also meet people and play sports

it sucks what can you do?

I was always a loner... through sk-8 (didn't go to jk) I never talked to anyone unless they started talking to me first...even then i was pretty silent... the first half of grade 9 i hung out with my sister...but it was her last semester of school so now i'm a loner again haha... but you know...i like being alone i don't really like people in Barrie much...i don't know why...

personally, I wasn't a loner at all- if I was though, I think highschool woulda sucked quite a bit instead of being awesome... maybe you can do something to turn this around? why not go find people you know and chill with them on lunch rather than shooting a basketball around, see people you know in the morning rather than going to the teacher's lounge. If you dont know anyone, talk to people during class- you're gonna be a loner till you have friends, so go make some! To get friends you gotta meet people and talk to them, the more you talk the closer you'll be.. just dont irritate them in the process by like following them everywhere or being too self centered in conversation (try to relate to a person and see whats on their mind, it'll really help you channel conversation that'll keep both of you interested). Make a bunch of semi close friends and meet people through them, the good friends will appear slowly as you meet people you really connect with -- of course all this isn't a solid truth and a lot has to do with how people percieve you too; so showering daily having your hair cut and wearing nice clothes will help (I'm not talking expensive clothes, but dont go dressed in black tshirt with a dragon that goes to your knees ) dont be afraid to share whats on your mind as long as its a nice thing to say and talking about your interests a bit will entertain people just remember, if thats all you talk about you'll end up with blank stares.. I find it helps to pretend everyone has ADD when creating conversation, it keeps things from getting boring . also try to keep a smile on your face and a good attitude with you at all times, if you're happy and excited people aren't gonna turn that around unless they really hate you or something (in which case I'd say not to bother with that person) -- anyway, this of course comes from how I percieve the world and I'm sure other people will have great advice (possibly even conflicting)-- but what I've said has always worked for me, and I'm drawn to people like I've described before anyone else too

this is all off the top of my head and I'd never really put much thought into this subject previously so I'm prolly missing some details or road blocks-- feel free to pm me or ask in a followup post if you want me to puzzle a situation, I'd love to hear you talking about the great times you're having instead of how you spend your days wandering around !

I wasn't really that lonely throughout my school years until I went to high school. I had a "friend" there. Then I dropped out when I was in the 10th grade.

I wasn't a 'loner' but I also never had 'friends' in high school as much as I had 'associates'.

I hung out with people, but only hung out with maybe 2-3 people outside of school. I don't know - I prefer to be distant and not have any 'baggage' - that way I can do things with other people at my convenience.
