I literally have no friends. I know people say that as a joke all the time, but I don’t have even one. I’ve met some people on the internet, but it always seems to fall through. I had a couple of friends at school, but none of them close enough to talk to out of school, even though I talked to one every single day. I just sit on the internet, read, and watch Netflix and Youtube to distract myself from my loneliness. Yeah I know, “It gets better”, but it doesn’t seem like this problem is going to be fixed anytime soon. People just assume I don’t like people because of being alone most of the time, which is not the case. I want to talk to people, but I am a bit shy and I never know what to talk about with them or what they like (TV shows, what they like to do for fun, etc.) and then it just stresses me out, so I don’t say anything, even though I really want to. I want to get a job so I can meet new people and I won’t have to sit at home all day, but I don’t have my license yet and have to wait four months, until I’m 19, to get it. I feel lonely almost every day and sometimes I just can’t wait for sleep. “Sleep is my only relief. When I’m sleeping, I’m not sad, I’m not angry, and I’m not lonely” (or something like that).
