I’m 15, F. I couldn’t agree more. My parents are aware that I don’t have many friends and when I go out on Saturdays to do the usual and meet that 1 friend that doesn’t have a tight schedule to eat pizza. I’m thankful to have 2 friends but I always feel like I’m not even around. My parents were outgoing at my age so I’m sure the feel disappointed that I didn’t end up being the type that went out frequently and smokes. My parents have generally told me they want me to try drinking and smoking etc. It feels terrible. I’m not even interested in doing that - it doesn’t even matter that I don’t have the right friend group for that. Thanks for sharing, I’d be willing to talk more- I’m new to reddit so I’m not so sure how’s that works but yeah.
