In need of friends

Discussion in 'Coming Out Advice' started by mustachedwaffle, Sep 12, 2012.

  1. Hi guys. I'm posting this because I want to know, how do you find kind and accepting friends? I currently only have 2 friends that love me for me. In fact, they're pretty much my only friends. I'm in high school right now and so maybe there aren't many accepting people at my school. Do you have any advice?

    Yeah, I hate to say it, but sometimes it just is hard to find good friends in certain areas. Maybe you would have more luck if you get a little more into the clubs/organizations of your school. There tends to be more open people in the group-oriented/volunteering/helping etc groups.

    Though, if you do have to stick to your online friends than we will just have to be friends. So its official, I am your new best friend <(^_^<).

    Dont even think about fighting itm because its too late. It's just a thing now :/.
     

  8. I tried joining my school's GSA, but there are 2 girls that don't really like me for some reason. I might just put that aside and go I the next meeting.

    Haha BESTIES UNITE!!! I won't argue... Fine.

    Sweetie... people are dumb. It is what it is. lol.

    Screw 'em. You'll find people who will accept you and love you for who you are as you grow up. High school sucks. High school people suck. (This coming from someone who wants to make high school a career lol). Not caring makes them suck a little less, even though that is sooo difficult.

    You've already found friends willing to accept and love you for the amazing person you are. We're just online :slight_smile: So hugs are imagined, but just as meaningful! :slight_smile:

    Truth be told you really don't need many friends. I'm no longer friends with the people I used to go to high school with. I'm not saying that will happen to you, but making friends should come naturally. Do you have a GSA that you could possibly join? I'm sure it'll be helpful for you, you'll be able to make friends in no time.

    And do not let them girls stop you from going, you have every right to be there.

    I know this from personal experience as of right now, I have 0 (yes zero) friends.

    My closest friends, whom i cant even come out to, are 3000 miles away.
    My friends where I am now threw me to the wayside for a number of reasons including me being gay.

    I guess its good for you to know that you're not alone. Everyone is going through these things, especially when stuck in backwater towns like me, and look on the positive side, at least you have 2 friends. Theres nothing wrong with that. Dont be afraid of spending time with yourself.

    GSA is your best bet I'd say. If those girls are nasty, let them be. Dont let it bother you, theyre probably miserable or extremely immature and could even be jealous of you!

    Hope your next meeting goes well :slight_smile:

    Join clubs and be yourself, let people come to you. I used to worry about making friends in school but appreciate those 2 friends that you already have. They love you and care for you. 2 close friends is a lot, take care and I hope you find what you want.
     
  18. I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. Life gets better, but sometimes it's hard to be patient. I'll be your friend!

    You're right, they do care about me. I must be grateful for what I have. It can easily go away if I don't appreciate it.

    I hope the meeting goes well. I'll update you guys when it happens.

    Yeah I know how that feels! It sucks... I'm just waiting to get away to college pretty much. I hope I'll have more of a chance there :S

    Thats a good point. I hope you feel better! + hope the meeting runs smoothly.

    Thanks :slight_smile:
