Lonely? Or what? Need help?

Question

I am in highschool, a girl. I often feel alone even when I am doing something I love.  At school, I am in a lockerbay with seniors who I get along with and eat lunch with. But I would never do anything outside of school with them. I get along with everyone in my grade, no one is mean, but I never do anything with them. In our schools orchestra group, I would rather sit with the teachers then the kids when we are eating because I feel left out. I try to ask questions, join in the conversation, etc. Also in theater, Which I love, I am always lonely, I only really talk to my teacher. I dont't want to go to parties bevause I know I will eventually be left out. At the last winter formal at school, I went, and eventually got left behind when my friend went off with other people. I tried to join in, but couldnt. I spent the whole 2 hours sitting at the table. In theater, I spend the whole time in the audience or in the studio theater. What should I do?

Your situation sounds very difficult but it will pass. You may think more like adults than like kids, and some people are just like that. It doesn't make for the easiest of high school experiences, but it makes for a great college experience, where you'll FINALLY feel like you'll be on the same page with some people because they'll be more mature. There will still be plenty of less mature people, but you won't be alone anymore. Good luck :^)

I'm sorry you feel alone. Perhaps you could join a youth group or an extracurricular activity? If you do something you love by yourself, it may not be fulfilling... but if you do that very thing with other people, you might find that it is much better :) Maybe you could try to find more people with similar interests to yourself?
