anxiety at new school
Posted , 2 users are following.
hello, I got into a new school this year. it was because in my old school I could net fit in and didn't have any friends.
I hoped this would be better at the new school, and was really hopeful. But now my anxiety just gets worst and I feel like it will repeat itself again. I feel like I am not worth it, because no one really wants to hang out with me. I am scared that I will now fall into depression or something, because I always feel down and have anxiety. It's even worse than at the old school, there I could at least tell myself that it's not my fault.
Please help

Well I made a super long 5 minute read on this but it got flagged for "bud" so I will summarize
How old are you?
Younger people are cruel if you look or act different. Be yourself and stand out and you will attract the real friends I had extreme social anxiety throughout all my school years until my senior year of high school when I just stopped giving a ... Well you know
Focus on yourself, be healthy and successful don't worry about any other man or woman
Not caring about fitting in and standing out has now at age 20 gotten me some of the best friends I could ask for and a beautiful fiancé
I may look a little different from all my peers as I am covered in tattoos (tasteful ones) but they know me as a nice guy who would go out of my way and do anything for them and they do the same
The ones who look at me like I'm weird now days are the ones who party every night don't work and drink they're life away but at least they are still "popular" in their circle that has dwindled down to addicts and snobs
It may be harsh but I used to do that when I was a KID and it's not so fun I had my share of popularity and dozens of friends but school friends are just that, school friends I can only think of 1 or 2 that I still talk to every once in awhile now
so the point is.. Don't worry about fitting in or pleasing anyone be yourself and keep your head high be a good person with good morals and good will come your way focus on your education not the social part because that will be over in a few short years

I'm 15.
How can I just stop caring? Will my school life not be horrible if everyone hates me?
I know the friendships are only superficial most of the time, but I think I would be very happy if I could just be part of the popular group.

Trust me give it 2 or 3 years and you will learn not to care about people haha, not in a bad way
You're just young
Don't make people hate you, just do you
Keep to yourself, if you are interested in a lot of friends just get more involved in school
I had a lot of friends when I started playing football (go figure) and even more with basketball etc
Again you're just a youngin still take it easy, relax,

Sorry if that wasn't the answer you were looking for as I couldn't really decide a question in your post but I just wanted to try to help
Keep your family close. They are the real friends that take care of you and will always love you
