sometimes the high schools and colleges you are at don't have the type of people you would like to hang out with, you could always make online friends or just go out more often outside of campus :)

I dealt with the same thing in high school and I think a lot of people struggled with keeping friends and making friends because your worth as a social human being in high school depends upon who your friends are. In the real world that's not so true. For myself, I realized I didn't need friends to be happy. However, it's a good idea to be friendly! Get involved in school activities or if there's no clubs you like, try and make on yourself. If possible, join an honor society, they help you network a lot. When you're in class, try to be apart of the conversation and participate. If that's hard for you, start out small. Maybe in a group of two or three people. You'll see it'll become easier as time goes on.

I didn't have any friends in high school either.i think this is just a perfect time to get to know yourself. Find your hidden talents or maybe just find something you like doing. If you feel like you absolutely can't live without the company of friends you could just a club you're interested in. A lot of people think it's bad to have no friends but I think it's a great time to find yourself

It is totally normal since every person is different and perfect in their place. If this bothers you more than normal than try to contact a personality developer you could also join various workshops for personality development but the most important thing is feel good about yourself. You are unique and perfect.

Friends form an important component of life. If one is having any difficulty in opening up to people or feels overwhelmed or intimidated, in any way, on seeing or talking to people (strange or known) or being near them, one experiences certain kinds of difficulties. So, when the person learns to tackle or subdue these feelings, it solves more than half of the problem. The feeling of being left out is also dealt with. Also, trying to indulge in conversations with people is helpful. Sometimes, you can also break the ice, instead of waiting for someone to do so, by starting any kind of topic that you think can be talked upon. Remember, you also need to extend a hand for a hand shake. :)

I also feel the same way, but I advice you to start things a step at a time start a little conversation and be active in activities. This way you can start making friends

Well either you look for happiness outside, i.e. searching for right people, or find happiness within yourself ( or use a combination of both ). Just reflect on this : You have always been your own best friend, you have always shared your deepest emotions, you have never left yourself in any situation, you have always shared joy with yourself whenever happy...... The list can go on, what I am reffering to is that you enjoy the process of existance, feel happy that you exist, and may not need to depend on people. Just train your mind to joy of soul instead of being depressed and then magic will happen. You will feel joy on meeting any type of people, which reflects god's love. You will also feel safe that god has always been with you and would always be with you. Just train your mind. And if you progress spiritually enough, you may learn that there is no difference between you or god. This answer is from a spiritual perspective, but I feel it would give you the much needed boost of relief in any situation imaginable. All the best ( with love ) and tck care
