I know the feeling. I've been through phases when I felt like I spent all of my time trying not to look so pathetic.
I've never felt lonely except when I was in a relationship that wasn't working. When I'm alone and not hoping for anything, I'm fine.
One thing that really works for me, believe it or not, is spending time in a place on the internet called "Second Life." Among other things, it lets you practice socializing in a way that's not so intimidating. For a lot of reasons, I think all Aspies should try it. It's the bunny slope of romance.
The worst that can happen is that you don't like it and quit.
On second thought, the worst that can happen is that you will like it too much and it will cut into your homework time. Try not to get too addicted.
If you go, send me a PM here and I'll tell you my on-line name. It's good to have someone to show you the ropes at first, although you won't want to hang out with an old lady like me for very long.

Thanks, but I don't really have that much free time.
Plus my home modem is broken, so no internet.
And my brand new, very expensive laptop stopped working, so all I have is my phone (which has been replaced three times since the last week of June.)
Even technologically, things aren't going great

At least you had college algebra in 11th grade. You could benefit from that, without even knowing it. Just make sure you know the proper formulae, and practice doing the problems making use of the formulae.
You're not having problems in your other courses, right?
If you have a "special interest" (or even you're somewhat interested in the topic), I would join a club dedicated to that topic. There, you'd be first wheel.

I have an "orientation" course.
I have an anthropology course, which is just lectures.
I have an English course. I told my teacher I write sonnets, and she wants me to bring one in. I haven't written anything good in a long time though.
And Theatre. I love acting, but the play this year is A Raisin in the Sun which has one white male role (the rest of the cast is African American.) I always get a role, but never the one I audition for. But now, if I don't get that role, I can't get any.
My special interests are all dried up. I haven't written any poetry lately, and even my old stuff I feel less confident in.
I loved reading, a hundred books a year it used to be, but I haven't been able to read anything in over a year now.

Writing sonnets takes ability. Have you shared any of your work on WrongPlanet? I think you once wrote out a sermon you were giving to a congregation.
It sounds like you're establish a good rapport with your English professor--that should improve any grade.
Anthropology is a breeze to me. There's no textbooks in that class? If not, I'd make sure I take thorough notes. I'm sure it's an intro course; provided that you follow the syllabus, you should do well.
Sometimes, they'll give a "black" role to a white person, and vice versa. Otherwise, irritating as this might be, you could learn how to manipulate scenery, and learn what happens behind the scenes of a play. A valuable learning experience, in my book.
As for your poetry, you could always revise what you've written. You're older now, and have more experiences. This should only enhance your poetry.

I've shared a few of my work here. None of it's older than 12 months, though, that's when I really started.
They aren't going to be lenient in the show, only one white role, and that's it. (If we do 1776, that's almost all white men, I'd certainly get a role, even if a non-singing role. But they're not having a plethora of background charachters, so it's this role or nothing
)
