Im 16. I’m introverted, and really lonely. I dont just want a gf, but I wish I had friends too.
I dont need a ton of friends. I dont want to be popular. I just need a small group of really good friends, or even 1 best friend. I never had a best friend in my whole life so far. I never went on a night out with friends before either. I have friends in school and acquaintances, but after school, I have no life. When school isnt in session, I have no social life at all. I dont even have any friends I could call or anything. I realize that I’m actually not that important to anyone. Im kinda just there. They just think of me as some guy they can talk to, but Im not actually important to anyone.
My routine is going to school, and going home. Thats about it. When I get my gym membership, then I’ll put gym in it. But thats kinda all I do. When school isnt in session, I just stay home feeling sad, empty and bored. I got lonely to the point where I literally wanted to go out to a fastfood place just to talk to someone or make a friend. Well, I went there, had small talk with 2 guys in the line but that was about it. What was I expected? Its a fastfood place. You eat, and you leave. Thats what I did.
Is anyone else like this? How do I get good friends?

Okay, just answer some questions if you want: What part of? Why do you not like the idea of being popular? What about online relationships, like playing with people in a videogame, or events?
With your family, do you interact with them, even with cousins or similar family is a good idea to get better at interacting, you can try and join outside events, competitions, sports, or basically anything that requires you meeting people.

The thing is to have friends, you have to interact. To fix social anxiety, you have to do the opposite, this applies on almost every thing you experience.
