sometimes I feel as though my deeds go un appreciated. In my class I am kind to others. People tell me their problems and I listen and give advice...but now one ever sticks around to be my friend. In highschool I always tried to participate or help...but I felt my help was unwanted....In a lot of way I want to help people, I want to volunteer and I want to give my time, but I fear being rejected or that my help will go unnoticed. I knew people judged me becuase I didn't have friends in highschool...I did everything on my own, homework, projects, joining in on volunteer work...people thought I was a nerd...which i probbaly was...but why did they need to treat me like crap, and not notice my work...I just wanted support from a friend or encouragement or to be recognised...I felt like my efforts were not worthy of any praise...I felt like I was not worthy of any praise...this is why I always give up on making friends...I try but they don't see

We share similar situations...

We can be friends if you like. I won't judge you. I know how it feels. I see you....and I think that speaking up on the forum is very supportive and brave.

I hope you know that you are valued....

Take care....keep posting...talk to you later!!

I don't really have any good words at my disposal right now, but I appreciate your presence on the boards and I understand and have experienced a lot of the things that you're going through. Take care.

There many shallow and insensitive people around, especially in an environment like high school. You shouldn't worry about impressing people who really aren't very impressive themselves.

Seek out quality in people, not quantity. Focus on those few people whom you truly admire for their admirable qualities and make an effort to get to know them. These people are much less likely to put you down or to ignore you.
