Lonely

[Les Grands Pieds]

Hey people,

I'm really feeling down. School stinks! I have NO friends! I sit alone at lunch on my A days, and on my B days I sit with someone who is a bigger reject than me. He also has no idea how much he needs God in his life! If I he wasn't my only friend, I would get out of the friendship, but hey, one crappy friend is better than no friends at all.

The only friends I have are a few at church. If only I wasn't so afraid of being rejected by people. If only I wasn't so shy! Please, pray for me people, because I need some sort of oppurtunity to make people want to be my friend. I want to be accepted so bad, but with the exception of church, I never really have been. I'm a in leadership at church, so one of my jobs is to help lead people to God. I am really crappy at this job and I'm feeling really bad about it! Please, if you guys could just pray for me, it might make my job a lot easier.

Thanks

Its hard to make friends, I know - but evaluate the friendship you have now. If you decide to work on it and make it the best possible you'll find it easier and easier to open up to all people.

Always be yourself and always be honest with others. Things'll come around for you!

Yeah, all you really need to do is began to open up to people more often. Start with the one friend you have now, and, as IvoryRain said, it should become much much more easier for you to open up to others and began making friends easily!

Hi, I hope this finds you a little more happy. I know how hard it is to meet new people...I used to be just as shy. I had about 1-2 friends in school. But just keep praying and ask God to send you more friends that have the same interests. I will also be praying for you and your situation. Just remember that if you have no one else...God is with you. I may be new at this but I am here for you if you need me.

Seems to me you find your friend at school to be more of a curse than a blessing... this one crappy friend is still a friend and potentially a blessing.

God puts us in places for a reason. Maybe He's put you where you are so you'll rely on Him.

As for fear of rejection, I know how it feels to be afraid to talk to people or to feel like you're inferior to them. I had that problem for years. But, you know what? People are people are people. Everybody has the same basic psychological makeup. So talk to people. Put yourself out there. To have a friend, you have to be a friend, and that means taking a risk. Just be nice to everybody and treat everybody with respect and don't be afraid of rejection and you'll have friends.

I'll be praying for you.

Do you have any clubs at your school? Like student council or something? Those are great way to find some friends. Or you could take a fine art like theatre or band (especially band, you'd make TONS of friends in band). I just moved to a new school over the summer, and I was so nervous about meeting people. Sure enough, I met people at school, but at the new church I'm extremely shy. I don't have any good friends there. (it's weird, cuz at my old church, I was the funny-outgoing person. )

I hope I helped some.
