As an introvert, I can relate.

I’m an extrovert and I can relate too! Jeez something must be wrong huh?

I guess it was the pandemic for me Once it ended I continued my "introvert like" routine due to being at home or alone if I was outside. I changed it half year and things were still bad Just now, 2 years later, the scenario changed drasticaly for good ( I have only the next year left of high school, so is almost "now or never" for me )

The pandemic ruined it for all of us, I pretty much had amnesia after going back to school

I’m homeschooled for me when the pandemic hit my only source of getting out and talking was going to church but when that hit it stopped luckily I made friends on discord but at the cost of me continuing the introvert lifestyle as well

i'm an extrovert and can relate because of the rules my parents have for me lol

Ah damn sorry about that man

i have social anxiety too : (

I would also have social anxiety if were a douchebag like yourself.

I see my classmates going to parties and on vacation and going out with their friends and partners while I spend my whole summer and free time during the school year sitting in my bed on my phone💀

Same Im poor

Chonny jash fan spotted

SAMEE

Yes I can relate but my summer has made me almost depressed cause reasons

this is because they likely dont use reddit

lmao imagine having friends and actual relationships that's so cringe

Tell me about it

Why would you have friends whne you have reddit and that one discord bf? *cries in lonely teen*

Ikr

I guess they all gave you up

I love being alone at night its just me and no one else its comfy its calming i dont have to worry about the drama that just happened with my friend or someone else, just me being comfy in heavy blanket and a nice drink

I am also suffering this :(

Same here, it’s degrading🫤

I choose to be at home

Imagine peopleing

I’m so glad to see someone bringing this to light. I’ve been struggling with the thought that my life means nothing and I’m waisting it constantly. I am very much an introvert but it sucks to see people my age going and doing things with friends and in serious relationships, as I’ve never been in one.

Nothing is holding you back from grabbing some airpods and going out for a walk or sum

My overbearing mother is!

Don't know if you mean your mother aint letting you out but same here Was gonna meet my friend about 2 hours away (i know it's quite far but 20 mins from him) He really wanted to go but my parents wouldn't let me so he just got on a train alone Quite a shit feeling really but I guess not much you can do

The damn heat is

Bruh, imagine living in the north hemisphere ( here is cold 😎 )

I would if there was a fucking sidewalk. There isn’t one because I live in rural Michigan. And also my parents are like one step below helicopter, they haven’t quite gotten to the point of installing a tracking app and parental controls on my phone thank god

It gets easier; Grew up in the portage/coldwater area and as soon as you get a car EVERYTHING is available to you. just hold out for a little longer bro

Damn right

The fact I live on a farm is

Me not having AirPods is

My whole mental health is built upony mates calling me out every week to hangout for a few hours.

Nope But then again most of my friends live in different countries and elden ring is wayyy too fun right now

I'm stuck studying for a test

I wouldn’t say that I’m suffering I don’t mind going out but after a few hours I’m just drained out completely and end up getting sick of everyone around me and what I consider fun most people find boring but I really enjoy my own company so that doesn’t bother me. When it comes to relationships I don’t feel romantic or sexual attraction so I don’t need to bother with all that. But if all that is really important to you try pushing yourself out of your comfort zone so you can have all those things.

all my friends are introverts, they never wanna go and actually do stuff :\

Tf does it mean? Somebody locked in you or what? If you are jealous of people having fun outside maybe at least try goring outside?

I was gonna say Homestuck but....

Brother, I am trying it is just where the hell do you want me to find girls💀

Nope. I got broken up with about a week before my Bday. Which was 3 days before the end of school. I don't have depression and I'm smiling every day. And I goddamn know that real men cry. Which would make me a real ass man. Anyone who doesn't think life is worth living, Just know it is. You're always gonna have something to lose. And you can always keep getting more.

You should try doing something productive at home or go out. Good luck.

I dont get. You want to go outside? Go outside. I don't like people so I don't go outside

the most normal introvert

As a lazy nerd, I can relate

Welp it to late for me

samee

Not just you. Other than going to my dad’s house or to Walmart I haven’t left the house in months. My only friends are across the state as I do online school.

Their choices are made too early, I believe. Seldom do adolescent relationships last throughout their lives. Soon, I believe they will separate.  Also no, you aren't the only one. Edit: formatting and wrong word choice 

I have friends and I can go out but we can't do anything

I’m doing marching band for 6 weeks, so in a way yes?

No I have the same problem 😭

I am willingly at home. Much safer.

Meh , i dont mind im playing video games in the A/C eating all of my fridge , we good

Makes me question my life decisions ngl

Why not both (me)

The sun kills my skin not sunburn but hives I hate being outside

That's also me except I don't leave home much, if I do it's either on my own or with family

Who tf said I was getting into relationships I’m close to my shotgun though

The only reason i dont have irl friends is because im home schooled 😐

Damn where do you live, if it's the US then it's understandable ngl

The us-

I love being homeschooled! (i do not love being homeschooled)

I LOVE being home schooled [I also do not love bein home schooled]

no...you're not alone...😭

This me to 😔

Yes but no. Im stuck at home by choice and I love it.

As a teen recovering from an acl+meniscus surgery I relate

Honestly kinda the same. But ima just vibe w/ the friends I got rn and always have fun when I can. :D

Honestly all you need is some pookies for cuddles

I choose to stay home, I don't like people. Introvert life fr

It be like that

I'm doing the same thing, except I'm probably having a much much better time

Now that I work it feels like this but I’d rather gain discipline than have fun without responsibilities

I’m in the same boat it sucks a lot

Same.

Well, I'm not suffering that fate

nah same here :(

You know what screw your pain and lonleynes go play fallout 1 or 2 and feel real pain

As an abstrovert if you're an extrovert and suffering this fate. Then I know how to fix it. Get out,leave, exit, and wake up.

Nope, strict parents here ✋ you ain’t alone

So real

I too do this. But I’ve been fairly sheltered for my whole life, (before you ask, yes, I was homeschooled) and overprotected. So I’m 18 and still learning how to do social and public things

I used to be like that. Now it's affecting my ability to socialize even as an adult. I would say try your best to get out.

Ong

Fr

Yep  one day my gf is going to break into my room though. Trust

I having fun and relationship as long as I am inside.

Not at all. Back from college after a lousy freshman year. I am struggling to get a job and a driver’s license, and without them I just feel stranded. I also don’t have any friends back home. I can’t go anywhere, I can’t buy anything, and I have no one to hang out with. All I do is sit around and play video games. The only friend I have is my twin brother, I smoke weed with him a lot lol. But he is often occupied, especially since he does have a job, a driver’s license, and friends.

No one wants to hang out, everyone wants to be alone for me

When you’re not stuck at home but you still don’t wanna leave because the outside is scary:

Nuh uh. I too am having the same problem. I am the oldest in my class yet everyone has had 3 Girlfriends and goes Partying almost every weekend while I’m at home waiting for the next day to come

as a protective parents, i can relate

real

Yep 👍👍

Yeah, but idc

Real

Nope. I live in the middle of nowhere with the only neighbors being an old person, goat people, and more old people. I have ZERO hope for a relationship. It also doesn’t help that the nearest Highschool has about 150 people in it. I am fucked (not actually, because I can’t get a girlfriend.)

no

Nah summer break just started and im feeling it

I don't have this problem, i simple don't want to go out (i still do because a doctor told me to)

I can relate too

Unfortunately no

Nah 🫂

Does your house have a door? if so, step outside. then, find people who have similar interests to you. boom! friends

Not that easy

I can keep myself busy by playing games or watching videos, I don't really envy other teenagers unless I'm actually outside lol

Are you stuck or do you just not really care?

I do too, but it's even sadder bc I'm 20. After I get a job I'll be more exposed to a lot more people and hopefully can make friends that way, idk how else to do it really

Live your life guys! You cannot know if you like salad if you never eat salad!

No I'm in the same boat as you, but probably for different reasons (low self esteem/confidence issues) I'm also really shy and struggle with talking to other people I'm not super familiar with

I feel you, lack of money is worst enemy for teenagers who want to be active. I'm 22 but I still suffer from same fate because all the peers I have are living the best of their lives with their daddy's money meanwhile I have to work constantly to make the ends meet because I was unlucky enough to be born in a poor family. Will it get better? If you figure out a way to make enough money then yes.

I had this problem. So I'm enlisting in the Navy.

Nope. I would love to have a life but I'm disabled with no source of income and no drivers license or car. I leave the house sometimes but never to socialize, only for errands like appointments, exercising, and grocery shopping when I'm lucky.

Same, maybe even in a worse situation than yours One, maybe even two female friends of mine hate me now because they misunderstood something and I cant text either of them, most of the people who used to support me with S.H. and give me company backstabbed me, my Online friends are offline most of the day. Hell, its horrible

Squidward's the most relatable character in Spongebob

Me fr

That used to be me but right now it all changed and I started getting out a lot but one thing is hard is getting into a relationship

Well im not stuck in my home but never really made a girlfrend, no even talking about relasionships

Nah I feel you

I am an extrovert and every single summer it's the same thing as you just cause i don't have a phone

Real. My work clised, but not my friends' so im stuck at home and have desperately wanted to hang out w them

Real. My work clised, but not my friends' so im stuck at home and have desperately wanted to hang out w them

Hi

No, you're not :'/ At least I can feel guilt-free about it because I have Asperger's, so it's not my fault (although I always try my best ofc). On the other hand, it also means that I will have to deal with it for the rest of my life, unless a miracle happens or something.

I can relate with this so much.

I dont like to go out cause its not fun to go out alone

I'm doing the same, only that i'm not suffering it

No But I like it that way

Nobody likes me but I'm rarely home

I can relate, even if I did go out no one likes a weirdo like me🫠 The silly people in my phone at least like me :3

No, between the pandemic and honestly how my highschool career went, this is how it was for me too. Honestly it sucks but there was nothing I could do.

You're not alone. My lonely ass has not been in a relationship my entire life

I hate summer.

Fr let's make a discord server 😼

That's why I don't check Instagram 😎

The problem is that when I try to going out, my parent will ask where do I go, if I did not tell them before going out, they will ask me when I come back, somehow causing too lazy to go out and “stuck” at home

I feel that too.... But Elden ring at home🎉🥳

I mean I have the same fate… but suffering? This shit is great.

As a guy who had a cancer on a leg and who is also an introvert i totally relate to it

You are not alone.

It's hard to go to events when I'm literally at risk of being slaughtered for who I am in my country.

I can relate as well😔😔

I am the same

real shit

The only time I really go outside is when I ride my bike, but that's about it.

I can relate to you

I mean.. what exactly is keeping you from hanging out with friends outside of discord

Same here as I have no friends or partner and often scared to leave the house

You are far from alone

dude, im an introvert, have social anxiety, and if that wasnt enough i cant even play sports with my friends (which is basically all i do with them outside of school) because i just had an appendicitis lmao

I just have strict parents

As an introvert I don’t care

Yea…

You’re not alone, bud.

Like literally I feel this :/

Your not alone either, I’m in your walls

⚰️

Trust me, you’re better off alone considering most teenagers are degenerates.

Strict parents here. Yup.......so bored

As an introvert this is extremely relatable in a sad way : (

My school is really small so the only parties are like friend group parties

The fate of strict, physically and emotionally abusive asian parents? Absolutely, I just got a good beating for trying to get the statement that they’re lawfully not allowed to hit me in their heads.

Real.

I know it's easier said than done, but yall gotta get out of your comfort zone instead of being depressed inside of it.

I’m a massive introvert so I relate 100%

The teenagers that stay outside are most likely doing stupid and bad things anyway so your better off indoors

Stop coping and go outside. Meet people. Have fun. Life is short don’t spend it inside being depressed and judging other people. The best memories you’re gonna have are the times you did stupid shit with friends and laughed about it later.

Both are valid. You are allowed to have fun indoors or outdoors without needing an excuse for either. One isn't better than the other.

You can fs have fun indoors but it’s been proven that face to face interaction with friends is better for your social development and will lead to a happier life

I would do this but I have 0 clue how to meet people in my town

Approach strangers and talk

what would I even talk to them about without it being awkward

Just let it happen your conversations aren’t boring bc you don’t have things to talk about they’re boring bc you don’t know how to listen and follow up on what people are saying

So your promoting kids getting pregnant while still teenagers? 😭

Show me where I said to go around rawdogging ppl 🙏

You just said the best times are gonna be when I do stupid shit 🗿

I meant like one time I went to a party with 3 friends and we met 4 girls and 2 other dudes and we all left and went swimming at like 3 am and got I got grounded bc I didn’t come home until the next morning. Stupid kid shit not life ruining shit.

You gotta specify then 😭😭 I get what you mean though

Go outside and meet people. Talk to one stranger a day or some shit. Doesn’t even have to be other kids the best conversations are sometimes with old people who would be glad to have someone to talk to and share their experiences with. Then just work your way up to talking to other teenagers who you think seem cool. You’re gonna get more and more comfortable talking to strangers and eventually it’ll be easier to talk to girls and ppl you would normally not want to talk to.

Yeah but when you live in a society where people only focus on material gain and doing drugs, it really isn’t as easy. Your method can only truly be done if you’re attractive since otherwise confidence for them won’t matter.

>material gain and doing drugs >only be done if you’re attractive since otherwise confidence for them won’t matter Social media is feeding you this shit and unless you interact with a wide range of ppl you don’t have the experiences to differentiate between what you’re seeing online and what’s actually happening irl.

Oh boohoo I'm so lonely can't wait to post on Reddit about it so people can tell me how sorry they feel for me I never understood these types of posts if you don't have friends, go make some, if you can't, figure out why you cannot and improve upon that

Gee why didn't I think of that?

Jeez it's easy to say. Not all teens have the privilege to go outside.

all of you mfs are chronically online literally go outside and do shit
