I'm a soph in HS and feel pretty "meh" about life. I also feel really lonely and have always had a really hard time making friends. I feel like I should be "popular" as I'm a really good distance runner, a good student, and am not butt-ugly, but instead I'm super awkward and have like nobody (other than my parents) who I feel I can really trust. While competingcollegiately offers some appeal, I think I will be super lonely at college also and would have a very hard time making friends. I wouldn't say I'm "depressed", but just feel like I don't have a lot of joy or excitement in life. I do my best to be nice but I think sometimes I'm a little too serious for some people and scare them off. I aIso think I'm way too awkward to ever get a girlfriend and I struggle with lust a little. I know I sound kind of whiny and whimpy, but was just wondering if letsrun.com could offer any advice. Thanks in advance for any advice.
