(10,893 posts)I would ask for all of my friends' numbers so we could meet up outside of school and shoot some hoop. I literally have nobody to hang out with on weekends now because I lost contact with everybody I went to high school with. It was foolish of me to not even bother trying to keep in contact with anyone.
I would also try harder to meet girls. I was shy and mistakingly believed that guys could wait for girls to approach them like how it works vice-versa, but I eventually learned that it is very difficult to get girls to make the 1st move, even if a guy does happen to be rather good-looking or well-groomed. Sadly, I ended up going to the prom alone because of my shyness. It drove me nuts seeing guys who didn't even dress as fashionable as me or who may not have been as athletic or have as high GPA as me have better luck with the ladies than I did. I spent a lot of time racking my brain about how guys like them were able to get their time of day while I spent my Friday and Saturday nights alone.
My best hope for making new friends now is when I finish community college and transfer to Humboldt State University this fall.
