The title isn’t exactly misleading, but its not the entire truth.

I used to have lots of friends at my high school, I was always cool with everyone, had my own group, texted them, were in groupchats, hung out sometimes outside of school.

But I graduated early from high school since I thought it was too easy academically, so for the past 2 years I’ve been doing classes online to get ready to transfer to a proper uni when I’m old enough.

Now this summer, my parents think I’m a fucking loser because I don’t do anything. I’ve essentially lost all contact of my friends from high school and from middle school (text them occasionally but not that much to even consider them still friends).

My parents take away my laptop, phone, etc. and constantly bother me about being a fucking loser and doing absolutely nothing in my room all day during the summer. I just play chess, study different concepts, sometimes DoorDash for some side money, scroll on my phone/laptop, play video games with friends, etc. (which I think is pretty normal especially for a teenager my age) but I barely go out. Sometimes I go to the gym, but rarely.

The problem isn’t even academic like most people, for me it’s literally the opposite.

They’ve been harassing me day in and day out and have been essentially ruining my mental by constantly reaffirming that I’m a fucking loser and nobody likes me.

I would contact some of my old friends to go hang out sometimes, but it’s just weird to do so out of nowhere, especially if we barely keep touch with each other anymore.

Not sure exactly what to do, I’ve never even really cared for friends but my parents think I’m fucking depressed/suicidal or some shit (even though I’m obviously fucking not)

I’ve been considering lying to my parents by saying I’m going to meet up with some of my friends and just drive to a mall and walk around by myself, but thats just fucking sad so idk if i should. But it might get them off my back a bit.

Any advice would help, really considering reuniting with my old friends, but feel like it’d be awkward to do so out of nowhere.

(not autistic either btw I was always sociable no matter where i went :lul: not cope; i just dont gaf about going out with friends at this point of my life)

For context: I have 800 followers on instagram and all have been from people personally asking me irl, I dont allow random people to follow me

Well for one, when are you going to an on campus uni? Easiest way to restart your social life

And I’d say it’s worth a shot to hit up some old friends, it can be very chill

“Yo x it’s been a while, you in town this summer?” Brings up the idea without fully pressuring them into an exact time and date and gives you room to feel out the vibe

I don’t get this though.

Would this help me achieve more friends? I don’t think so. I just envision playing by myself like a fucking loner JFL

Unless I join a club or some shit, which I don’t have time for the commitment because of personal projects

Tell them to fuck off until then, and that you’re academically and financially preparing for it, are these niggas Hitler or sum?
might deadass try im at my breaking point rn :lul:
go for it, can’t really hurt, if they don’t seem interested you’re just back to square one.

I’d also recommend installing hinge, good way to pass time. Although idk your looks level if you’re ugly as fuck don’t try this

Essentially, yeah. And I’m not exaggerating. They beat me (I don’t hit back because I’d never do that to elders), take away and hide my computer and laptop (which is needed to do literally anything productive) and I just sit there like a fag scrolling thru tiktok and wasting my life like that instead :lul:

These retards also suggested therapy as if I’m mentally ill. Its like they deadass think me not hanging out with friends constantly is a sign of depression. JFL

Although idk your looks level if you’re ugly as fuck don’t try this
I would but I’m a minor, so..

Also people not reaching out to me to hangout may just be tangible evidence that I’m just ugly as fuck too

(I posted a side profile on this forum before so you can see/look for)

This is a much bigger issue, I wouldn’t tolerate any of this shit. Who gives a FUCK about “elders” lmao, they aren’t worthy of more respect for being old, and if they’re hitting you and treating you like shit why would you respect them at all? Fight back or tell them you’re done with that shit.

Possibly, or they think you wouldn’t be interested. Either way worth a shot in my opinion, doesn’t sound like you have many other options

I thought about this logically and basically know that it’ll be a net negative at the end. If I ever do that it’ll create more instability than a set of boundaries, and our relationship will literally just plummet to hatred. + theyre both around 70 years of age, and wouldnt want anything to happen to them.

And would love to point out, that even though we’re fairly rich, they act like the most ghetto + low class people ever JFL

its deadass like they chimp out and yell over anything and everything (not talking in regards to me). Its embarrassing.

Larp going out and having friends but I’m actually just walking around by myself in circles :lul:


Also would like to add that my best friend since elementary school, and who I’ve put a lot of effort into building our relationship, basically dropped me after getting a girlfriend. And coincidentally always has work whenever I ask to hang out (minor btw and doesnt need a job at all)

I text him frequently though (and play video games with), but it’s like he’s forcing a distance between us which is depressing. :feelswhy::feelswhy:
 
Humor was basically how I attracted most of my friends in high school and how I was pretty popular there as well.

Most of the friends I had shared similar humor, it wasn’t and isn’t out of the norm.
"humor" "attracted" and "popular" under a thread about have you dont have friends???????

Read the whole story, essentially was isolated for a long time and didn’t care for friends (and still don’t) for the longest.

Slowly grew more distant with everyone I knew

glad im not the only one :lul::lul:

didnt think there were other parents that gave a fuck about what their kids were doing socially, thought it was always odd to me

Genuinely think my parents would want me to take drugs if it meant I’d be doing it with friends and outside the house :lul:

Think they’re deluded in some way
