Hey people. I have a social problem here. My vocational education course is coming to an end, and the week after this weekend could be the last time I ever see these guys I got along with the last few months. I want to hang out with them over the Christmas holidays, they're social people and they'll probably be going to a Christmas or New Years Eve party. I really wanna join in on some holiday fun. I've been putting effort into talking more this week and being as sociable as I can, and I'm sure it's been noticeable.
There's 3 days left next week before the holidays, or maybe I could say 2 or 2 and a half days since maybe the third won't have people staying all day. But I want to get invited to some kind of party and become close friends with them. Imean c'mon I'm 19 years old...I've never been out anywhere with people outside of my family, never went to parties or even the movies with other people. I find this really embarassing. How can I make a point to them the next few days that I wanna be "part of the gang"? I feel really left out and I don't know the next time I'll ever be in a school setting. Probably not for a long time. I'll be finding a job I wanna stay at for quite a while before ever deciding I wanna go back to school and continue my education.
Should I just blurt out and ask them if they have any plans for New Years Eve? Then I'll say I have nothing to do and maybe I'll get invited? Maybe even make a Facebook account with just one pic of myself and add them all to make more of a point? What do I do? I'm 19 years old and I'm finding this ridiculous, depressing and embarassing, when other guys my age have done all kinds of stuff by my age, clubbing, dating, hanging out at night somewhere, etc. and I've never done any of it. So please, I would like the beast advice you guys can give me. It would feel ridiculous that after all the time spent in class with these people, that I'll never see them again and then start over again from square one with nobody.
