Discussion Finding friends and socializing irl(long read )

1 Upvotes

I'm 15 F and apart from my close 4 person friend group, I don't really have other people I can call close friends apart from a few classmates. I don't do any extracurriculars so all my social interactions are in school,and I was just thinking if my friends switch schools, I'll literally have no body because my group doesn't have devices or constant internet to communicate and catch up.

But not even in a superiority complex kind of way I'm so different from everyone around me. I'm the class topper and, I want a friend who I can have debates or discussion about stuff like colonialism (I'm west African)and other random topics and 5 mins later talk about verity variants(weird choice) ,and it's so weird cuz the first 2 members of the group are also very smart ,and we became friends when they joined my school before we even knew that we all topped our classes.Our positions are currently me as first(topping class), friend 1 second, friend 2 third and our last member who joined a year ago isn't very academically as successful but she is still just as important to me as my others .but I feel just avoiding interaction with others to stay in my group alone isn't a very good trait. I realized when I saw my friend group having several other friends outside the main squad that I need to socialize more. And it's not like I'm a loner who doesn't talk to others I can hold and start conversation but I'm so different from other and so similar to my friends. majority of my school are Nepo baby esc but not exactly,at least they come from money and I'm not like poor I would say I'm upper middle class and my family is very financially stable, but my parents imo raised me kind of sheltered if that's the word and since the year started I've become more social and others have pointed it out to so I'm know I'm improving .but what can I do to make more friends meet new people. I don't have neighbors my age. I'm thinking of joining a fellowship or a sport community but I don't know any tips to help social interaction irl.

Advice Why would she do this?

5 Upvotes

So I've been texting this girl from my math class for a few months, we'd has regular interactions mostly positive and had racked up a large snap streak. A few weeks later she texted me "I really like you," I responded "me too," then she said "joking obviously I would never date you," I'm just wondering why she would do this also I found out whenever I texted her while she was on the bus home she would announce it and was only texting me reluctantly.

Advice How to deal with FOMO?

3 Upvotes

I (16F) got invited to go party hopping on Halloween all night with my close friend group. I said no because my parents don't let me stay out late at all or do anything Halloween or party related and my religion doesn't let me drink so I wouldn't do much at those parties.

All my friends, including the goody-two-shoes with really strict parents are going and they managed this by making fake school trip forms and having their parents sign it.

Now I'm just feeling so left out thinking about it.

I don't even want to drink, I just want to hang out with the people I love at night and be wild and free without my parents watching me or thinking about school or my job or my commitments or studying or anything.

They already have so many better memories together compared to me because I sometimes get left out, not because they don't invite or include me because they often do, but because I can't come with them. Yes we go to cinemas and the mall and but I feel left out for never haven gone to a party or had a boyfriend or wear whatever I want. Not because I haven't had the opportunity, it's because I'm not allowed.

I love my parents and I know I'll understand them later but I'm feeling restricted. I love my religion as it's helped me out through hard times but I'm feeling restricted. Maybe I'm a bad person for saying those things.

And most of all, I want to live these normal teenage experience things. I love my friends and want to do all those things you see in the movies or on social media of everyone hanging out at night or having sleepovers or going wherever or doing whatever or wearing whatever with the people you love. Idk.

My mom said I looked sad and I started crying and told her all of my feelings about this and I just got reminded on why I don't tell my parents anything. She was just saying she thought I had matured by now but it seems I haven't and that it's wrong to feel FOMO for things that are wrong and that I will ruin my entire life by doing anything slightly rebellious and all my friends are ruining their lives. I'm sorry I'm not a perfect machine daughter who feels wrong feelings sometimes. My friends are great students too. I've been feeling this way since maybe 8th grade and this was just the straw that broke the back. Also she told me to Uninstall instagaram but I can't uninstall everyone talking about something I didn't go to or that odd feeling od my other friends being closer through more shared experiences with each other than with me.

Again she asked me a couple hours later if I was okay and I just said yes but what I really wanted to say was that I hate school and wanted to do this one normal teenage thing with the people I love to feel carefree. I study so much and have so many restrictions and commitments I just want to feel normal for once.

I overheard my mom tell my dad they think the devil had got me. I didn't care to eavesdrop any further.

Oh well. That is my rant. Thank you to anyone who reads, any advice or comments is greatly appreciated.

Context I broke up with my girlfriend at the end of June this year. She lives in the US and I live in Canada. And ever since I can't stop myself from thinking about her. I started school like a month ago and I have tried to like other girls and forgot her but I can't. And I think about getting back together all the time but it feels like I would just be an asshole. And I talked with her recently and she likes someone else. What do I do

Advice My cousin got my ex bestfriend preggy and is asking me to handle it somehow.

17 Upvotes

Okay so some context - My second cousin me and my ex bestfriend were in same school as kids then he moved out, we stopped being friends because she got popular and real bitchy after covid, he comes back and we were living in same apartment.
Now they had been dating for around 3 years and their shit was escalating mad quick. They didn't even kiss the first year of dating (info given by him) and then since the past 2 years they have been constantly sneaking out for their makeout sessions. I covered for him because his mother is strict and he used to give me gossip in return + include me in some school stuff. But it had started to become obvious, his mom even yelled at me for lying.

Since that day i stopped helping him, and he too stopped asking for help, months pass on (this was april-may incident) and now she is calling me continuosly. yesterday she told me her last period was 2 months ago and her pregnancy test is postitve.

Now if this comes out these 2 are basically dead cause teenage pregnancy is social death sentence, age of consent in this country is 18 both of these people are 17 now.
He is even more confused i told him about this and yelled at him today and he started crying and said he doesn't know what to do. (he literally blocked her that is why she had to text me)

I suggested they should tell their parents but both of them said no, i also told them to get an abortion but doctors will ask for age and eventually, their parents will know.

I am so stressed, this aint even my problem but still i might get flamed for not telling elders right away. HELP

Serious I'm still young, but I already feel exhausted by everything. I desperately need a change.

3 Upvotes

First off, school is going really badly. I genuinely try to study and work hard, but my grades just don't reflect the effort I put in. Take math, for example. No matter how much I try, the concepts just don't seem to stick. I often find myself completely lost, and it's incredibly embarrassing when I get my test papers back and see all those red markings. And it's not just math. I'm struggling with almost half of the subjects I study, and sometimes it feels like none of it is meant for me.

Obviously, some of my friends talk behind my back about my marks. Honestly, I couldn't care less about what they think of me personally. I just want to improve my grades. That's all I want.

Things at home aren't going well either. My relationship with my parents feels toxic, and they don't seem willing to spend time with me. I'm an only child, so there's no sibling I can turn to either. I spend a lot of time alone, and at some point, I started wishing I had a pet. I didn't even want anything extravagant; I just wanted a companion, something to make the loneliness a little easier. But my parents said no, and they aren't willing to spend more time with me themselves either.

That's when I started spending more time playing games on my PC. It became something I could enjoy on my own, something that helped me get through the loneliness. Now, because of my grades, my parents are threatening to take it away. The frustrating part is that they blame gaming for my isolation, even though I started playing more because I was already feeling isolated in the first place. It feels like they see the gaming as the problem without acknowledging what drove me toward it.

Then there's my crush.

In about two or three months, we will be separated because we'll be going to different colleges, and honestly, I'm not ready for that. I've liked her for almost four or five years, and she knows how I feel. We've had our fair share of awkward moments, but we're still friends, and we can text each other comfortably. The thing is, I'm almost always the one who initiates the conversations. And I know she is interested in me too, but I also think she might not be ready for a relationship, and I'm okay with that.

I don't want to pressure her into anything. I just want to spend time with her while we still can. Even if we never end up together, I'd still like to make the most of the time we have left in the same class. I know that might sound stupid to some people, but four or five years is a long time to like someone, and the thought of us going our separate ways is genuinely difficult for me.

And beyond all of this, there's the bigger question of my future.

Why am I expected to figure out my entire life when I'm still so fucking young? Why does it feel like I have to constantly worry about grades, college, my future career, and everything else when I'm still trying to understand myself? I don't even know what I want out of life yet, and I'm already expected to make decisions that could affect the rest of it.

I'm just tired of everything feeling like a problem I need to solve. School is stressful, home doesn't feel like a place where I can find much comfort, and I'm scared of losing the little things and people that make me happy.

I feel like I'm stuck in the same cycle every day, and I'm desperate for something to change. Sometimes I feel like the narrator from Fight Club.....just completely fed up with everything, mentally exhausted, and sick of the way life feels right now.

I don't really know what I'm expecting from posting this. I want advices, maybe I want to hear from people who've been through something similar, or maybe I just need somewhere to talk about all of this without feeling judged.

If you've ever felt this way when you were young, did things eventually get better? What helped you get out of that cycle? And if you're going through something similar right now, how are you dealing with it?

I don't expect strangers on Reddit to fix my life. I just want some honest opinions, advice, or even a different perspective on things. I'm genuinely desperate for a change, and I don't really know where to start.
