Maybe some people don't like you, but they aren't breathing down your neck, trying to make your life as miserable as possible.

i like how everyone is calling op selfish and that he has an excellent life compared to the "poor african children", wow this has nothing to do with op, op needs help, not to be told his an idiot.

Please tell me what makes a person [i]normal[/i]. Everyone is unique. You're no exception. No one's perfect. I'm into nerd shit, in fact a lot of people are. That doesn't mean they aren't cool. A lot of people here are frikkin' awesome. They aren't socially awkward people who don't ever leave the house. A majority of people here have lives, too. You beat yourself up too much, lay off the negative thinking. Paranoia. Or fear. It's not a bad thing, and can get you out of a lot of sticky situations. Like dying. Although if you live with paranoia your whole life, how can you ever live it? You think a drunk dude planned hitting your brother with his truck? Not to be rude, but shit happens. Sorry. Don't live with the past. Ditch it like a bad hooker. If you aren't happy with your life right now, then make the change. If you don't heed my advice, then you sir have stabbed my sympathy with a butter knife.

Get a job.

[QUOTE=MaveDustaine;27133414]Yup. New Year. And here I thought a new start and a new me too, but I guess not. I woke up feeling bored like every day. Don't know why. Just happens. I wake up and all I can possibly do is to wait until I'm tired enough to pass out so I can repeat the process. Life seems empty. I'm 17, and it really does seem to have no point right now. I wake up and fall back asleep. Every day. Nothing really ever makes life that exciting for me, it feels routine I do the same things every day and there's never anything exciting happening. I have friends but most of the time they never invite me to go and do stuff with them. Things look bad. Life seems cloudy. I don't know what I'm going to do anymore. During Summer Break of 2010 my older brother was ran over by a drunk driver who promptly sped off. I've felt this way ever since. Hearing about that just sucked all the colour and fun out of life. I feel ugly. I work out and lift weights but I still look in the mirror with disgust. I'm hideous. I think I can understand the logic behind that guy who sanded his face off or something. I'm in my teenage years and I rarely leave the house, don't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, I'm ugly, and I have the most boring life I could possibly think of. I'm not saying I have a bad life. I have video games to keep me occupied and an internet connection so the waiting to pass out thing passes by a bit faster. I can eat. I have a TV I never watch and use only for video games. I don't get beaten by my father seeing as how he nailed and bailed on my mom before I was even born and my mother doesn't beat me so I'd say I have a nice life. Just boring. How do I make my life more fun, Facepunch? I feel bored and lonely 24/7. I hate it. :([/QUOTE] [img]http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbzoxtt8Q11qagg3yo1_500.png[/img]

Find a person you find really cool, camp out his window, and find out what he does. Maybe you can use that knowledge to make more friends.

-Take regular walks. -Try talking to and meeting new people in class. -Find a venue that has bands play regularly (like a bar or something) and go to them. -Take a look at your personality and tweak it. Even if it's nothing but a major facade, try to act more... sociably acceptable. Being yourself is not always the best thing, it's just a fact of life. It also works wonders with friends you already have. -A significant other makes everything better, but DO NOT INVEST EVERYTHING INTO ONE PERSON. If things go south, you will hurt a lot more. Be an individual. -Try finding new hobbies and stuff. Great way to meet new people. Basically start getting into new everything. Clothes, hobbies, people, ect. It's an adventure and it gives you something to do.

I fucking hate life. Shitty board game.

ITT: no one understands depression

What I suggested was how I overcame my depression. The best part is that after I modified my personality a bit and made friends, I slowly eased back into my old ways and kept the friends and all the cool shit I learned. And even though my girlfriend of two years left me for God only knows what reason, I'm broke, and just gave up pills and alcohol (gotta love messy breakups) cold turkey, I am still surrounded by an amazing group of solid and reliable friends. My quality of life has increased, and despite all the shit that's happened, I am still a happy guy.

It's how us humans do everything, even if it takes months, years maybe to change. If you don't change something you're going to continue to feel shit.

Here we go again...

I'll say it again. OP's going through a depression wich started when his brother died. That's what OP is really sad about, but he cannot bring back his brother to life so the problem cannot be helped, or so OP thinks. Because of this, OP is supressing the actual reason to his depression. OP starts feeling bad about himself, lonely, perhaps he can't eat or sleep very well; he's suffering from normal symptoms of depression. He convinces himself that what he actually is sad about is that he has never had a girlfriend and that his life is boring in general. OP needs to get help so that he can accept that his brother is gone and not feel so bad about it. Ofcourse this is if OP's brother actually didn't survive.

Get into computers.

Interesting stuff keeps happening in my life whether I like it or not, so far i'm entertained.

Acquire a passion. It helps.
