I’m heading into my sophomore year of high school. My grades are pretty much straight A's because I spend most of my time hitting the books. In class, I don't really talk—I just sit there and soak everything up, which probably makes me look a little weird to everyone else. People tell me I’m super smart, but I’m definitely not the social type. I don't say much, and when I do, I keep it short and sweet. Sometimes I feel like people just tune me out when I'm around. Honestly, I don't have any real friends yet—you know, people I actually hang out with who aren't family. I don't really go out because I don't have a crew to go with, and I'm not into drinking 🙂 either. I don't even listen to music. I'm constantly trying to level up and be the best version of myself—basically aiming for perfection—but lately, I feel like I'm just becoming this monotone, boring person. Outside of school, I almost never hang out with people my age. It makes me feel like I'm unapproachable... and honestly, just lonely. I really want to talk more... but what am I supposed to talk about? How do you even start a conversation? How do I find a real friend or actually connect with someone?
Everyone calls me a weirdo. To be honest, it doesn't bother me that they call me that, it bothers me because it feels true. Everyone wonders why I'm so quiet... but what is there to say? I stay silent because I feel like I have nothing to contribute. How do you learn to be funny? Is being witty something you're born with, or can you actually practice it? And how do you become someone people actually want to be around?
What should I do? Where do I even start? I just want to change everything right now...

Help me out!

Man, don't sweat it. You honestly don't realize how lucky you are. Being avoided by certain crowds is actually fine. Look—you can always make new friends later, but it is significantly, significantly harder to undo a bad reputation once you've made enemies. Just remember that. 😘

"It's the exact same look! I'm telling you, it's identical!!!" 🤣

Maria Ruiz said:Alright, look... two girls I know said they actually liked it. So, apparently, it has some appeal to women. For me, though? I absolutely couldn't stand it. There was this one guy acting in it who just kept talking with this weird, smug little smirk on his face... honestly, it was nauseating. Just thinking about describing it makes my blood boil. (I’m half-tempted to file a formal complaint against whoever produced that movie—is that even a thing you can do?)

No, you can't sue them, but there is a strictly enforced law stating that anyone who dislikes a movie should be sentenced to death. So, if I were you, I’d proactively turn yourself in at the nearest police station. It would be much more efficient for taxpayers to spend their money on actual public services rather than tracking down redundant individuals like yourself.
