So, I graduated from High School recently, and I was thinking back on my time there today. What struck me as one of the defining points of my high school career was that I had no friends, I mean literally, ZERO, ZILTCH, NADA friends. I've told this to my family and the school counselor (2 of them in fact) and they seemed surprised yet slightly saddened or some other emotion I couldn't identify. I just couldn't read their emotions very well, it seemed as though they were acting as though I was alien, like the prospect of someone have ZERO friends was an incredibly foreign concept to them. Mind you, I was in a big school, over 2,000 students in fact, so you would figure I would've made at least ONE friend, right? Nope, I had alot of people who knew of me and my accomplishments, and whatever acquiantances I made disappeared or seemed to fade away from me, but no friends. I had more of a fanfare from my teachers than my peers when I graduated, my teachers really liked me, but my peers never talked to me (maybe on account of my height at 6 ft 6 in combined with my emotionless expression), nor I them, not out of any real reason, I just had nothing to say, another concept that is alien to most people. So what I wrote this spiel for is to see if anyone has had a similar experience and I would like to hear your stories and if you overcame this situation and how, I'm interested in that sort of thing, so if you would kindly oblige me then I would much appreciate it. =D
