I'm clueless on socializing and feel like giving up

Post Reply New Topic

High school student with practically 0 social life since as long as I can remember. I stopped talking much after being told that I tend to ramble on about really nerdy and boring stuff, since I don't really have any other way to contribute to a conversation. I tried being a good listener but people don't let me in on the most trivial things because they're worried I'll judge. I'm not a judgemental person at all and have no clue when and how I came off that way. I don't know how to fix this.

Socializing is beyond difficult in my case and has been for at least a decade now, there are many things I just can't put to words. I was never bullied though, people seem to just approach me then turn away for no obvious reason. I would like to believe I am very polite; at least I try very hard to be so again aren't clear on where I am lacking. I also desperately attempted at online friendships but was unlucky enough to be preyed upon and almost taken advantage of -- that was the tipping point for me (it was kind of my fault though for being stupid). Now all my will to step out of my little circle is smothered. Should I just stay alone? Am I going to be okay this way?

i realised that my social skills were at their highest soon after i left high school ...due to the fact i was around people all day..for most of the year.

You seem to be in high school and suffering, well, arent there any other nerdy girls in your HS?
