How can I just be normal?
Hello. I normally don't write on these websites because I just hate the thought of seeing anyone else handling my problems, bur at this point I have no one else I can talk to. So, here I am; a depressed, social-anxiety having 15 year old girl who can't even have a talk with a strangers without those really uncomfortable long pauses that give me even more anxiety.
I do not know how to socialize. Not at ALL. I can't make connections with people unless my friend is with me, but I can't depend on them for much longer. My biggest fear is that they will leave me and I will end up being alone. I would probably be even more depressed than ever if it happen, considering I have NO motivation to change at all. Nobody in my family understands me at all. They think I'm just being emotionally and a sad little teenager, boo fricking who but that's not it at all. Im depressed. And I'm scared that they will just laugh at me and play it off like it's no big deal.
I am depressed to the point where I feel almost nothing. Everything feels like a clock. The people I see, the things I do, everything is just the same. I don't feel love, I don't feel pain, I don't feel stressed. I feel... boredom. Complete and utter boredom with how my life is and how uninterested it is. I keep playing scenario in my head that being in a car accident before I go to school would be a lot better than actually going to school.

Try not to let having nothing on your mind make you feel awkward. That happens to everyone, and it's okay. The less you worry about not having anything to say, the more likely that something will come to mind! Try to think of a few general categories of questions when trying to come up with conversation: 1. How they are feeling; what was their day like? Have they eaten recently? Has school got them feeling tired? 2. What are their interests? What do they like to do for fun? Think of your answers to those questions, then ask them about those things in specific to see if you have things in common! 3. Talk about the outside world! You don't have to talk about world news necessarily, but talk about things that you know about and interest you! Most people enjoy hearing an enthusiastic explanation things like animal behavior, scientific concepts, stories, gossip, anything! It can be entertaining to others to listen to a passionate speaker in any context.

Firstly, understand what is the job scope of schools, friendships, parents. Then you ll know how far they ll go for you.
Secondly, know your obligations.
In school everything is planned out for you. To have time schedule, classmates of same age/coursemates/moderately different levels, teachers of different subjects, moral education. You re able to identify what the adults have done for the children to be well equipped for their adult life.
At home, how to communicate, food they eat, things placed, don t even have to talk and knows what is happening by things around.
As for you, you already have been taught that adult life would be working, etc. Yes, there are emotional struggles, you can control it by being sober. Just like exams, you know logically you still have friends but it s just you re busy with important things. Having common interest:reading, food,having someone to go and unwind, go visitation. If uneducated people can survive, you can do better with your experience.
