 dont feel like that
you cant continue to live the way you do
dont you wwant to have friends, fall in love and things like that?
in life you will find many obstacles along the way
but you cant let your fears ruin your life
you have to be strong and fight to get trough them
you are young so you still have a chance to change and be happy
first of all you need to go to art school and dont be afraid to talk to someone, you need to, for your own good.
there are many good people out there..
they can be your friends.
try to have a good self steem! remember theres nothing wrong with you so i can feel pretty confident that if you feel good and you forget your fears and talk with someone you will make lots of friends in no time
the important thing is for you to accept yourself the way you are :)
try to enjoy life because its beautiful
you are loosing many good experiences!
stop that
you can do it
good luck !

 Im sorry that you are feeling this way. You sound like you could be suffering from a form of clinical depression. Millions of people around the world feel just like you evey year. Please speak with your doctor. He/she can help.
Getting out and meeting people is the best way to overcome these feelings that you are having. Even though you dont feel like you can do it, believe me you can.
You will be a much better person, student and artist for your interaction with the outside world. You can get your life back on track. Go to college, make friends, get your degree, meet someone special who you want to spend your life with (forgive me...Im a hopeless old romantic), find a job you will love and look back upon this time in your life and realise it was your turning point. I bet that is something you would like to happen. Well you can help it along.
No one is asking you to jump in at the deep end. Take things slowly and at your own pace. Start by telling someone you trust that you want to get your life back, such as your mum, dad or even your doctor. There is light at the end of this tunnel.
You are a worthwhile person with a lot to give and a lot to offer this world. Your artwork could bring joy to many people. Please dont waste your talents anymore. Go to college and interact with the other students and repost on this website in a year or so telling us all of how well you are doing and how much you are enjoying your new life.
Best wishes and please take care,
Skye

 I had the same problems when I was 18. I'm afraid that being around people at college is going to be inevitable.
So you have 3 choices here:
A. Go to college and be surrounded by people. You'll make friends fast once you get talking to them.
B. Don't take the course and remain in the same position
C. There is a course called the Princes Trust. It lasts for 12 weeks. You will build up cinfidence, have something to get out of bed for and make loads of new friends. I know all this because I took the course and now I have some great friends. I believe the site is: www.princes-trust.org.uk if it isn't that try a google search.
Once you do make friends you will be glad you took the course and feel better in yourself.
Hope this helped
