Teenage Recluse?!
Question:
Teenage Recluse?
I'm becoming a teenage recluse, and it's ruining me! I started acting at the age of 2. Nothing major, just commercials, and a few movies. I was always so outgoing, and I got all of the commercials I auditioned for. I've even met quite a few famous people! It started getting uncomfortable...I grew more and more shy, until I eventually quit acting at 12. I'm now 16. I'm so shy, and have a hard time making friends. I like my friends, but to be honest, I'd rather stay home with my family than go out with them. I don't have many close friends, and the ones I've had for awhile slowly seem to fade away, until I lose track of them. I hate calling friends up and inviting them over to my house. I always feel like they're bored and don't want to be there when they do come over. I don't mind inviting them to a movie, or shopping but that's getting old. Anything I could do to be more social, and make more friends?

Another thing I forgot to add...
I like to pretend everything is okay. I put on a big smile, and everyone thinks I'm just the happiest person.

You feel how you feel. You can be alone but not be lonely.
If you're comfortable at home that's cool. One or two good friends are OK too.You sound like a pretty cool person to me.
