I can't hold a conversation with anybody for very long, not even my family. I Can't seem to make friends at all.
The ONLY thing I'm good at is work and thank god for that. But once I go home I just sit around and wait for the next work day. I feel like such a tool.
I feel like I'm not good enough to be friends with the interesting and cool people I would want as friends. I would basically just coast off their success and that's why these people don't want me around. I get scared and overwhelmed easily and suffer from a whole host of issues that prevent me from enjoying my time alone or with people.
I spend too much time living in my head and so I've become a really boring person even though I am interested in many things.
I know I have good qualities but the negative thoughts are too overwhelming.

I spend too much time in my head as well, and that is not a good neighborhood for me. The more time I spend in my thoughts (usually obsessing over past failures) the more depressed I become. Not sure how to put an end to it though. It gets tiring having to stay busy all of the time so you don't obsess.

I know how you guys feel. Here it is, sunny Saturday afternoon. Most everyone's at the movies or the beach or a park or shopping mall. I'm not complaining because I'm in a library typing this now. Yes, it'd be nice to have someone to do things with. I keep holding on for someone. Maybe I'll get lucky some time in the future.
