What happens if you don’t have any friends in high school?
If you don’t have friends in middle school, high school, or college, it’s easy to feel discouraged and sad, especially if you’re surrounded by outgoing people with busy social lives. While living without friends can be tough sometimes, you don’t need to have a big social circle to be happy and productive.
Why do I have a hard time making friends at school?
If being around people makes you nervous, ask yourself whether social anxiety could be holding you back from making friends. Other conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and autism can also make it difficult to befriend others. If you think you have a mental health disorder, ask your parents to take you to a doctor or therapist.
What to do when you don’t have any friends?
Explore your town. You don’t need a group of friends to get out of the house and enjoy yourself. If there’s a museum in town you’ve never visited or a new restaurant you’re dying to try, treat yourself to a solo day out. You can also go to the movies, shop at your favorite store, or just stroll through a park on a nice day.
How do you stay connected with people outside of school?
Participating in a club or group can be a good way to stay connected to other people without having to become close friends with them. For instance, you could join a science club, a book discussion group, or a sports team. You can also check out Meetup.com to find people who will share your interests.
