Relationships

[KiD]

Ok so I know that this is sort of a forum to talk about love and relatioships, so I figured I should post here, It is about my friends and stuff. I know that eveyone seems to be complaining ar asking for help,and thats fine, but I am really happy right now, and i really want to share it with you guys, so here i go.

I came to LCS. I was sad, becuase I had to leave my friends at home(most of them were only my friends for a year, but we were all really close). Now, I am a very shy person, but I was determined to make friends. It started off well, becoming friends with two girls in my ouse, and sort of with my roommates. Then, I guess they all developed their own circles, and I wasnt in them. I got a few friends (especially 1, Anthony, great guy) who I got to know through music. I joined Bands and my FH team. Now, I am great friends with the girls on my team, especially the ones in gr 9. Knowing them has led to me knowing lots of day students. The only problem withthis, isthat when the day students went home, I was by myself.

Now, this week, Irealized what was happening, wrote down some resolutions, whatever. But I never actually intentionally looked at them. But this week, It is incredible how much more at ease I am not. I feel like I can talk, and Im getting to know the two girls down the hall really well, and when someone says hi, I dont just murmer, I look them in the eye. I fell so proud when I do this. And last night, the 2 girls and I ended up in the bathroom, and we were talking, and I feel a lot more comfortable, and laughing with them. I donbt know how this change happened, but i am so greatful for it. One speculation is well, this week I have been crying over my grandpa, because it is getting to christmas, and I think Im finally realizing he wont be there. Now whether or not I beleive in heaven, I think that my grandpa has given me extra strenght, and now, I am happy, which makes it hurt less. I am also a lot more confident in my classes, namely just speaking uo, especially in Math, Science, Civics, Music, and I have definitly improved a lot in OE. I actually talked to my teacher withut starinng at my feet!

I guess that maybe you dont care, or dont really want to read all that, but I had to get that out because I just feel so proud, and I have so much hope right now.

I don't think this goes here....

But that's awesome! I'm glad you're getting some confidence. Don't let go of it, it'll help you go far in life.

okay erm i read this a couple of times but i dont really understnad it.....maybe cuz my brain hurts. ill read it later :P

[IwAnTuAnDuWaNtMe2]

she's saying that she was depressed and it made her shy and non-talkative with new people but she's feeling better and is now making tons of new friends and looking people in the eye when she talks to them then looking at the ground. so she's come out of the depression.

the master of confusion strikes aagain :P

hehe thats great katey :D

I think i know the reason behind it, Age and new surroundings :)

These factors make u mature in quite a fasion :) As i have said before to people who are depressed, "you will grow out of it, become more mature and be able to tackle what life throws at you" Katie, your the example of this happening and its great :D

All the best of luck to you :D

EDIT: Yep this is getting moved to life's like this :D

I think thats great. I was really shy when I started college here in another state. And I wouldnt look at anyone as they went down the hall. But since I am a music major I have made a lot of friends who do the same things I do and its great! I love it so much.

Thats great....Im really happy for you!!

Thanks everyone!!!

I also think it has to do with me living at school. you se, I am VERY talkative at home, then I almost become another person at school or other places. But since I board at school, school and home have become meshed together.


And yes IwAnTuAnDuWaNtMe2 I am THE CONFUZOR!!!

[IwAnTuAnDuWaNtMe2]

i meant myself..... <_<

yea at a point you grow out of it.

i wouldn't look down at people in the hall if i went to a college i'd look them in the eye. learn to do that even if your shy and most people won't bother you and you'll become friends alot quicker. also if your a guy then it helps keep you from getting beaten up by bully's :P

i guess that'd work for a girl too... :unsure:

[Tiffanie]

haha see i knew i wasnt the only one who could beat depression all on my own :) i think its awsome that you are happy now and im proud of you to cause alot of poeple dont think peopel with depression can help themselves and its people like you and me who prove them wrong :D way to go grrl im happy for you
