I’m currently a student in high school trying to figure myself out. It’s the end my junior year and I have a lot of choices to make but I feel so lost emotionally that I don’t even know where to start. I started off high school with a few friends I was really close to, but over time I’ve transitioned to having a lot of acquaintances I hardly ever talk to. My social life has become non-existent, and I’ve just been so lonely and sad. I put put a fake image of myself so that people will like me more, and in the process I’ve completely lost who I was before. The sad part is that people actually seem to like me less. My self-confidence has dropped so low to the point where the idea of asking anyone to spend time with me makes me cringe because I fear that no one will want to. I’ve been shy all of my life, but before now I’ve always had friends to lean on. I’m scared that I’ve completely forgotten how to even make friends, and I don’t know how to fix it. I also seem to have lost my sense of humor and everything else that made me interesting, I’ve become the most dull person ever. I feel like my future is going to be filled with loneliness and I just feel so lost, I don’t know what to do.
