Well this is a pathetic thread. I'll do it.
Up through 3rd grade my life was pretty normal. I had plenty of friends, I was one of those obnoxious hyper kids that always got into fights and trouble, but was not angry or rebellious at all. Just annoying.
Then from 4th to 8th grade I was homeschooled, so I basically became restricted to a few close friends that lived in my neighborhood. Played video games with them all day long, pretty much. Really sucked when one would move away or something cause there wasn't a whole lot of ways to meet other people.
So I got to highschool and went to a small private school with about 200 kids. Pretty much all my friends had moved away except for one, and I was no good at making friends at school, so for the first two years I was diagnosed with "chemical depression," but I just sucked at making friends and got really depressed about it. Also couldn't get a girlfriend and that got me really bad. But my family has a history of substance abuse so I refused to take anything drug or medication related out of fear (and I still do), except for migraines, and I never even took the anti-depressants.
Sophmore year I moved, so that left my only friend and forced me to make new ones. I did, and fell into a clique. Got one best friend and by junior year I was pretty settled. Then that summer I got a girlfriend, my best friend loved her, ruined our friendship, I secluded myself from all my friends to be with her, and we were together for a year and a half practically spending every second of our time together.
And then we broke up right before this summer, and I'm trying to re-establish the social life that I lost. She's got her friends back but I can't really find any of mine, so I'm trying to figure that out now.
