I feel so alone, I feel like I have no real friends. I am always so shy. I can't talk to girls and girls never talk to me either...so I will never find love. I feel stressed out from school, I don't like to socialize because I get nervous in social situations. I feel like everyone makes fun of me.
Update: I just want someone who can be a friend to me.

When I was talking about love I was referring just to romantic love, sorry about that. I am sure that there are people out there that care and love you, and even though I don't know you that well, I do care about trying to help you. I went through a period where I felt like nobody cared about me, and felt very alone. I know what you are craving right now are some positive words of encouragement, and you feel like there isn't anybody in your life that you can get that from. I don't know your life history, so it is really hard for me to pinpoint exactly what it is that is causing you to feel this way. I am very sorry that you feel this way, and I hate knowing that anyone feels like this; especially if I don't feel like I can help. Do you not feel close to your family? Has anything in your past perhaps triggered this?
You have to learn to love yourself before you can expect anybody else to love you. Perhaps you are rating yourself based on other people's reactions to you. But, if you aren't opening up to them then how can they love you for who it is that you really are? If you want results, you are going to have to make some changes from within. This negative attitude needs to go; it will get you nowhere fast.
I use to be extremely shy myself, so I know where you are coming from with this. There are a couple things that help me talk myself out of it. One thing to realize is that a lot of other people have their own securities, some are just better at hiding it than others. For example, sometimes the extremely loud cocky kids are that way we because they are trying hard to impress other people. People that make fun of others are most likely insecure too. Another thing you might want to think about is the fact that life is short. Do you think you would still be shy around other people if you were told that you had a certain amount of time to live? I know the feeling; you are afraid if you put yourself out there people aren't going to like you. The truth is no matter what you do there is always going to be someone that might not like you. But, if you change who you are according to your surroundings you will never have any identity; this will make you even more alone. Have you thought about why these people don't like you? You might think some very negative things, but this might not be the case. Everyone is judgmental, but from being shy I realized that I tended to think people were much more judgmental than I thought. After being shy for so long, and finally opening up, I got a lot of feedback from what people thought about me. A lot of people told me I wasn't very approachable, and didn't seem interested in talking to them. Once people got to know me they often told me how glad they were that I finally opened up. Perhaps taking "baby steps" could be helpful for you, so you don't feel so overwhelmed. Maybe setting "social goals" for the day: smiling at a least ten people as you pass them, starting a conversation with at least one person-if you don't know what to say maybe you can think of a question to ask, even if you don't need the answer or already know it. Cause, in some cases, that can lead to further conversation. Also, smiling more can help, and hiding the fact that your stressed too. This might seem hard at first, especially if you get some negative feedback-like a person that doesn't return the smile-, but there will most likely be positive feedback that will outweigh the negative. I hope you found this helpful! Good luck!
if you're really shy I suggest maybe going to counselling to see what the cause is? are you afraid of soemting or did you have a traumatic child hood experience that makes you soft spoken naturally? you have to pinpoint and realize your cause of the problem and I suggest talking and being more outgoing with people in general. make more friends, join sports teams, or go to church things like that to be more outgoing and connect with people
You don't need to know someone to start being friends with them, starting to know people comes with being friends with them and hanging with/talking to them, I'll be your friend too if you let/want me. =) - 2 months ago
I'm really shy. But everyone needs someone there for them. Do you see anyone at school that looks like their pretty shy too? Try sparking a conversation with them.
And I'm a work-a-holic. The other day at school I cried cause I got so stressed out about school and was putting too much on my plate. You got to remember to have a fair balance of fun and schoolwork in your life or you will get stressed. If your stressed, you won't do as good. I'm not saying don't feel like you can just do it whenever, but make sure it doesn't become your life.
I think I know who you are on this site and now that your saying die that societal you need to get help very bad otherwise things will just get worse and spiral out of control they don't get better on there own you have to do something and help yourself here.
I will be your friend if I haven't talked to you yet then just messege me anytime I'm open to anything. - 2 months ago

No, you shouldn't. I'm shy and I used to be very uncomfortable in social situations, but I worked on my confidence and realized that not everyone is making fun of you or wants nothing to do with you. The girls might not talk to you because they think either you're stuck up or you don't want to talk to them because you are shy and quiet. When a guy is shy and doesn't talk to me I don't talk to him. I think that he thinks he is better or he doesn't like me, Then if they talk to me I start to talk to them. It's just something that need to be worked on. You need to work on being able to talk to new people. You can't say that you will never find love. Just because you are shy or what ever doesn't mean that some one is not going to love you. Instead of thinking that you should die now you should work on making the situation better. Try going to new places or doing something with people you have never met before. I had to go to a whole new school for this to happen. It will be very hard at first, but trust me it will get easier as time goes on and you will start to feel better in social situations and being around girls.
I am not stuck up though I am a nice guy. People at work always seem to like me but that is about it. - 2 months ago

You don't have to be stuck up. When you are shy people tend to think that because you don't talk or you're not outgoing that you think you're better than them. It has heppened to me many times where someone will be like when I 1st met you I thought you were a real bitch, but then when the get to know me they see that I'm not. I'm just shy. The people at work have probably gotten to know the real you. You need to let others see the real you. - 2 months ago

pray, try it, ask for god, he created you and he knows about you more than anybody else does, even if we're lonely he is still there for each one of us, if we ignore him we're only gonna blame ourselves, if we want to be on our own then prozac FTW! or suicidal
if you aren't into the dating scene and all that crap at the moment and at this age then you're gifted and you should show your appreciation by focusing on your future and yourself not on girls that won't say hi to you!
buddy you have a problem and it's the same problem I had ages ago, you think girls are angels and they came from another planet, believe me, wake up and read these lines please, people will date because they need something they haven't got by themselves, girls date guys because they need love and/or caring and/or support and/or power and most importantly because many girls out there are lazy and need the guy to pay for them for the rest of their lives.
A rich man is the desired material for marriage and dating, this has been stated thousands of years ago and it's still going on until this moment, because normal relationships can't be pure, you either need sex or money, period.
But seems like some people will only learn the hard way, please man, appreciate yourself and make your confidence a favor, don't look or sound pathetic, don't give a damn about girls right now, I always advise young men telling them you really won't get that much from a girl in your lives, girls are who need us! we can live on our own because we are men! please understand that, and throw away that crap you watch in movies, the real world is different, make very good use of time.
I'll make the long thing short, if you have money that you can survive with and you are expecting a future for yourself either in a job or education then you have seriously freakingly nothing to die for. If you're like me without a job and dropped out of college and losing money more and more and people "hate" you and you are certain you're going to end at the feet of someone you hate just for them to throw you breadcrumbs and no body will give a favor back (not just make fun of you) then you might think of killing yourself, it's totally worth it then.
some guys in the world think that talking with girls and having relationships with them is the the thing to live for! well honey girls are the main reason why men want to kill themselves.
no you need to learn how to have more success and confidence when in public , myself I didn't have much in high school yet now I could just go up to an attractive girl in the bar and actually talk to her , but of course some of them reject me or won't talk much back but I have the confidence to approach them and have success with some of them at times . not sure what else to say but confidence is a skill you must learn but once its developed you can approach anyone .
I've been there, believe me, and I'm still horribly shy, but there are people out there that will make it all worth it and I'm sure you'll find someone that makes you happy and life actually enjoyable instead of just livable. Try to keep your head up, trust me, it's never worth just giving up, it'll be more obvious later in life, and if you want/need any advice I'll try best to help =) Hope this answer helps.
Why would you want to give up on life? Just because it's kicked you down, doesn't mean you can't give it a fighting chance. Each and everyday, we're thrown many challenges that we have to overcome. We can either lay down, and let it trample us, or we can rise to the challenge. But don't give up on wanting to live, even if you feel alone, because really, you're not.
