I just feel like I wanna start my life over?

Question

Hi, I'm a junior in high school. I just feel really unsatisfied with my life and I just feel like I wanna erase everything and start with a blank slate if u know what i mean.

My problem started sophomore year, I was making a bunch of acquaintances and i somehow made myself a "popular guy" but at the same time i turned into a d*ck to my friends because they started excluding me from stuff and we didn't talk for the rest of the summer.

i changed pretty much and by the start of this school year i kinda kicked all the new acquaintances/friends out of my life because i didn't like all the attention and also my friends surprisingly apologized. pretty much now they're the only people i actually hang out with, but honestly i don't even enjoy hanging out with them anymore. i wanna get a new group of friends that preferably are actually into the same stuff i am. i just feel miserable with the way things are going right now and this is just one of the many problems i'm having. advice?

Answer 1

Hey :]



You're young, dude. Just remember you have all the time in the world to start over. There's plenty of time for you to wipe your slate clean. Just keep in mind that your past is your past. It's amazing that you learned from your mistakes and you want to change your future.



I know you kicked your new friends away and now you want to kick your old/current friends away and find a new group of people to hang with. I think you should be happy with the people in your life. Teens change and they are always changing. You change your style, you change your iPOD playlist, you change your haircut, you change your room. But, remember friends are people. You can't just throw your friends away because you want new ones. Friendship is a really valuable thing. If they are treating you badly or they kinda ignore you and you're bored out of your mind when you're around them, that's different.



To find new friends, I guess you just need to talk to people. Are there any clubs at school that you like? The whole "join a club!" thing can sound really cheesy but if there is something that really interests you, check it out. There you can find people who have the same interests as you and you can hang out at school and out of school. Or check out the activities happening around your community. That's a great way to meet new people. Or is there a group of people you kinda like? Just be friendly. Try to get into that group. Show that charming side of you and just be a nice person. Make conversation and do things together and pretty soon you might end up hanging out with those people more often.



Hope that helps. Don't let this bother you or make you miserable. Be happy, live your life, go with the flow. Things will start looking up in no time.

I know how you feel! im going through the same thing. It pretty much sucks because the ony thing i can do is switch schools because my schools too small to make a new group of friends but you might have a different situation. I would just try to live life normally and hang out with different people.

I went on a vacation and met new people and it helped me a lot ha.

So just go meet new people!

i'm in a similar situation. all you can do is just wait it out. some days will be better than other days. just try to surround yourself as best you can with people that make you feel happy. either way you're going to college in less than two years, half the people you know now you'll probably never see after you graduate. just try to make the most out of your last couple years of high school and when you graduate you'll have the the chance to start over.

Well start over then.. take some classes that relate to your hobbies and start really getting into the things you like. Then you'll find more people like you
