I try to get my parents to see that, but they're just not interested.

I am very lonely on my own. I call my grandparents several times a day as well as texting and calling my best friend several times a day. Both live in California. But I'm still lonely. I have no friends at work, they don't like me. I'm going to do flower painting at school tomorrow, and maybe I'll make a friend. J was my only friend in Oregon, and we had a huge blow up fight and he won't speak to me anymore (his fault, not mine). And even J was never available for me. He was not a good friend. So I've been really lonely for real people I can see in person, and my parents are the only people I can physically see and we don't see each other very much, and they are not interested in hearing about my day or my life.

For two years COVID made school in person out of the question. This is the first semester in person, no mask. Unfortunately, I can only take classes online due to work, but I talked to my sociology teacher and I might be leading the LGBT club and the mental health club. I want to put all my social interests in school because at least I can meet people my own age.
