I am a very lonely person, at school I don't fit in with any cliques and I don't have any friends because I'm so versatile and I guess you could say sophisicated. And because of this you could also say that guys don't pay any attention to me. Some things that describe me include: honor student, confident, fashionable, fairly good looking, mature, non-conformist, with good moral values. So its not exactly that I'm so different I fit under a goth style or a nerd style I'm sort of in between on everything. I was also thinking because I'm not the type of girl that throws herself at men or smokes or deinks that may be the reason guys aren't attracted. What do you think am I just a freak? I was wondering is does anyone else find themselves in this position? Or were in this position in high school? If yes, what did you do about it without driving yourself insane out of lonliness? Thanks in advance.
Intgeresting no girls have answered at all! You'd think they'd be sympathetic, no?
No, guys don't generally go for mature non conformists.THis shows how generally immature they are.
You'll need to LOOK FORpeople like you because you won't find them flocking together in groups, as you have already discovered.
Look for clubs where nonconformists tend to congregate. Just as a wild guess, a chess club, for example, or an international affairs forum.Wherever you decide to look, it will take some effort on your part. That's the price of being 'different.'
As a fellow 'different;, I have found the extra effort it has taken me to find friends WORTHWHILE, because they may be fewer, but much more loyal and dependable.
I find girls that don't drink or smoke more attractive, personally, it means they are more stable (and I have issues with smokers) I don't think you're a freak I was in a similar position in high school I don't think the way I handled it was the best possible option, but I'm somewhat of a loner and I like it, so I'd go kick it with myself, I can always have fun with just me, I'm a one man party, but anyways what I did was make friends with random people, by finding common ground with a few of them and more or less sat in the back of the group and only went to the foreground if something interesting was happening or I felt as though something morally objectable were happenening that I had to either protest to them or one of them doing or flat out stop it, some of them I became decent friends with but not the entire group, I have yet to find a single person in school or in life that I could really relate with and always have a good time with, and thus I always feel fairly lonely, but I find being alone with myself and maybe just some music makes me feel less alone than blending into a crowd to make it through the day without being singled out or feeling extremely lonely, again it doesn't help a whole lot. Your best bet is finding a few people you can relate to in some way or another, if you're like me chances are you won't find anyone that can truly relate with you 50% or more, I got about 10% compatability with most of my "friends", but yea it sucks, it should get better as you get older through the internet I have manged to find some people I relate more to, I'm hoping to find one person that I can really connect with on a real level. I hope this answer helps you in some way.
smiling to people usually breaks the ice and grabs people's attention. if you stop and socialize with them you will find yourself a part of them soon. the only reason y ur lonely is because you made yourself that way.
am not asking you to drop ur morals or values, simply because that's what you only have to fall back on. all am saying is. (1), smile ALOT. (2), socialize by talking to 1 person and then another and another. this will make you more noticable to others and will eventually get you in a grop of people. (3), be friendly.
It sounds to me like you have a lot of integrity and therefore have to seek out individuals like yourself rather than relying on being popular in a group situation. There's nothing like integrity in a girl to scare away men.
People think things have changed but a woman with her own mind and unwilling to conform to idiot group norms based on TV quiz shows.still is considered a freak by a lot of people, both men and women.
Congratulate yourself and join clubs where you might find similar people.film clubs, for example, other intellectual venues.
I couldn't have worded it better myself. I'm basically the male version of you I think. In high school I had a terrible time because I'd have 1 or 2 friends in every clique, but I didn't really belong to any of them. I was also intelligent and people kind of disliked that. So yeah, I think I know exactly what you're talking about.
As for what I did, I just focused on the people who made me happy. I talked with them, hung out with them, etc. Granted, I usually did this AFTER school. During school was always strange. Sometimes bad, sometimes good. Also, when I got to college I started meeting a LOT more people. If you get out of high school I'm sure you'll find making friends to be MUCH easier.
I agree with that, college is much easier. I went back to vist my old campus for 1 day, and after 6 months I still know more than half the people that walked next 2 me. I felt like I was claming back what was mine at one time. even my ex came up 2 me and all the other guys backed away. it was like if she was still mine. that was weird on soo many diffrent levels. lol. - 2 months ago

In high school, boys aren't allowed to express their taste as much as normal men do because of peer pressure. you might be absolutely beautiful, statuesque but if you aren't giggling like a dumbass at their jokes or hanging out with a certain crowd, you won't get much attention. Don't take it to heart. Wait until you are out of high school, then worry.
