 My Social Life is Stuck in the Mud
I've never been a very social person. Growing up I never had many friends. My family moved around quite a few times, each time I'd lose the few friends I had made. It's been one year since the last move, and I'm entering my last year in high school when September comes. I still haven't made any friends yet. If you're wondering, yeah, I tried.
I've talked to hundreds of people this past year, a lot of them won't talk to me anymore and ignore me. People I hanged out with this year ditched me over time. It makes me wonder if there is something terribly wrong with me... I haven't been able to find any local clubs I'm interested in (my main interests are pixel art, drawing, game design, and programming.)
People I talked to regularly at school never wanted to hang out. The closest time I ever got to hanging out with anyone I knew was near the end of the year. I asked my closest 'friend' if we could hang out sometime, then he invited me to a party that weekend to get wasted. I got better things to do then intoxicate my body, thank you very much.
Am I barking up the wrong trees? Is there something wrong with me? Is making friends in high school a bad idea? Where do I make positive friends who are driven to make something out of their life?
I'm lost on what to do. Last year of high school, and my social life is stuck in the mud.
