Is something wrong with ME? Options

[megggnasty]

i can never seem to make a friendship/relationship work.
i have a lot of trouble trusting people, from past issues, and i think that's a major factor in my lack of social skills.
i'd like to think i'm a friendly and outgoing person, but i'm actually VERY shy.
i make more friends online than i do in person and i'm having a hard time understanding why.

my "best friend" is now close with this other girl and guy, and i feel completely abandoned by her.
and when i try to confront her about it, she dismisses it as if i'm overreacting.
she doesn't even acknowledge the fact that she might be really hurting me.

between my crazy family and bad friends, i can't even try to make new ones.
i'm so affected by my previous relationships that i can't even find the willpower to go out and make news ones.
my only hope (that i see) is leaving home for university and becoming a different person.

ugh.

You are completely like I was. I was a very shy person & I had very little friends. I didn't fit in at all.
My old best friend always wallowed in her self pity & wanted me to make her feel better, which I did. And whenever I actually needed her, she ignored me & wanted to continue to talk about HER problems. She was always a totally different person when she wasn't around those group of "friends" that she always wanted to fit in with. So I just gave up on her.
I now have a much better friend who actually helps me with my family, realtionships, ect. without me having to beg her. And the realtionship is mutual. There is nothing wrong with you. Just try to be more outgoing & break out of your shell; that's what worked for me. If you have any relative who are outgoing, try & get them to introduce you to new people, gradually of course. Good luck darling. =]]
