I've finally realized I have friends!

Post Reply New Topic

There are people I met my Freshman year of high school whom I still talk to frequently, not in person as I moved and am at a distance from my own school, but we have managed to talk to each other, joke with each other, help each other with our problems.
At my current school I am sometimes sought out for help and advice, I know people who know me well, and we joke, talk, and play hackey-sack together, and sometimes meet each other in my town's locally owned cafes. When we see each other in public, we always say a happy hello to each other.
I can't say I have one group of friends or that I have best friends, but there are people I know and care about whom I drink (coffee) with, play videogames with, laugh at movies with, and talk to frequently, due to my own locquaciousness as well as my increased level of involvement in school activities.
I am also attempting to guide a shy, socially akward Freshman through the same ropes I went through, and to help him make friends and find others at school with common interests, and I feel proud of myself for showing a younger individual the same ropes I had to climb to get to where I am now.

I used to think, like many on this forum, that I had no friends, that I was alone, without support.
Now that I am older and more perceptive, I realized after thinking about it a while that I was wrong: I've been making friends all along, slowly but surely, the whole time.

That's sweet of you to help someone.

I've come to that realization, as well.

I'm glad for you.
