I guess I have been kind of depressed lately :(

I am just a lonely person I guess. I am shy and awkward and I have basically one friend who is recently too busy for me (sorry B). I am very boring and all I do is sit in my room and read my books and as much as I love to read I am getting tired of it. I want to meet new people and be more fun but I live in a small town and can't think of anything to do and I don't know what to talk to people about besides I feel like nobody likes me. I am getting to the point where I basically just want to sleep to pass time I don't know what to do.....

I have that too at times and I'm sorry. I know it sucks, but you have to fight to get outside.
Try small things first just to get yourself outside--go for walks, go out to eat, go to the library or a cafe and read, etc. Taking small steps may help and you may even find someone to hang out with while doing so.

I am just like that too...I am an inside person, I'm a nerd, I'm pretty shy around those I don't know well enough...the like. What really helps is to go do things I love and enjoy and I tend to meet people through that. For example, if there is a book sale, go.
Sometimes, the best is when you find someone like you and completely nerd out in the way that you like to best with them. For me, finals week I have a tradition with friends to go to the library, stay up almost all night, game, drink energy drinks, and have fun.

It takes a lot to get up and get out, so take baby steps. Go out to read even! You'll never know what will happen until you try, but you must break out of your shell to do so.

I recommend you try to make yourself talk to at least 2 new people a day that you usually don't talk to. No, just saying "hi" doesn't count either. Try to engage them in conversation and ask some questions about them.

I live in a small town I know everybody I go to school with even the younger grades and the older grades. even though I am shy I have talked to the majority of them and they all know me too. Everyone knows each other. I am not really interested in becoming friends with anyone in this areas because they are all stupid emo wannabes pree much.
