Alone in High School?

does anyone else feel this way? ok before high school i always wanted to become popular and wanted to impress most of the popular people in my school. as soon as i got into high school i changed alot, i became more anti social. i dont know what it is but i think im always better off alone. i think the whole popular and social sh#t is stupid and this changed me alot, im always sitting alone at lunch and i always work by myself on an assignment. I really dont have any friends i guess but i think i dont want any. i keep telling myself to focus on my future and just ignore everything because i always wanted to be a mma fighter and i guess its that, that changed me. what do you guys think about my situation.

    I think you tell yourself that you are better off alone and that you don't want any friends but deep down, you really do. I admire your focus and determination and the fact that you still work hard at completing school assignments.

    I think that as long as you maintain friends outside of school that it doesn't matter if you don't have freinds inside school. It is awesome that you have goals that you are working towards and are focusing on. I admire your fortitude.

    sounds like me. the summer before freshmen year i was all like "yay high school! time to make new friends!" but then like a couple months into freshmen year i got kinda depressed in a way.. not like literally but i wanted to be alone and stuff and wanted to work on classwork alone even if we could work with partners. i think its just our personalities. i like being alone but at the same time i need attention from people. i also don't think it helps that i have social anxiety. i feel like a lot of people are fake in high school so i gave up on trying to be friends with everyone and just stuck to my couple of friends and i really started focusing on myself and music. music really helps me for some reason. i think you're just changing as a person and becoming more independent. and to tell you the truth, i don't understand the whole "popular" thing either

    I feel the same way. Why care about what everyone else is doing? In the future none of that drama, talk, or special events are going to matter.. Might as well focus on your future because right now is going to affect how it ends up.

    I am the same way.

    I've learned that people just bring drama, it only took me 3 years -__-

    But I don't like calling people my "friend" because I see them as an acquaintance.

    I prefer to do projects on my own because that's the only way you can make sure you get it donw. It seems like everyone is immature around me. I talk to others, but I don't necessarily like them.

    You learn real quick that you don't need others. Once highschool is over, yall will all go your separate ways anyways.

    I Understand you completely.

    You're not alone<3
