writes:I'm 20 years old and a student at a community college. I have never had many friends, even in high school. And at a college like mine, there's really not much going on at all and people just like to get their classes over with and leave, which is understandable. It's not really a place to meet anyone it seems.Not trying to be mean but I also don't come from a good family and my parents have a lot of problems. We moved around a lot when I was younger. I am not close with and don't even talk to any of my family, except my parents.So to try and become somewhat social with others and try to help with my loneliness, I thought I'd try the online route. I made a Facebook account and an account on a couple of other sites and added a few people I knew. I'm talking to people a little more, but other than that not much has changed. The people on there seem to be very popular and I feel awkward trying to fit in. I don't want to come off as desperate.Not being close with any family and not having many friends is something that has really been making me feel down. It's like I'm missing out on a whole lot of experiences and that there's something I should be doing about it, but I don't know what. I feel like a loser and a loner in a way. What do you think I should do?

 I think you should find you some brand new friends and a new goal in life. Just look for an association (there are a lot of any kind) and become part of it. Your existence will be very different if you have some passions (cinema, fine arts, photography, foreign languages etc.) to live and to share with people who actually have something to tell you (not just stupid gossips like on FaceBook) and to teach you. When there will be a new light in your life, it won't be so dark and sinister any longer. Take my work, my dear.
