hockEynfish Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I went thru the worst social life slump after my 10th grade year in high school, i had just moved down south, i was damn bored that year, my post count went from 10 to a thousand that month alone, school started and that was the only time i could actually talk to people and see them, but i was so pissed that i wasn;t where i wanted to be, i never made friends i just kept to myself.vacation came, my cousin came over one night, we played live, and he was like why don't you come with me 2morrow, my girl doesn't wanna leave her cousin home, and i need sumone to go with us, and i was okay, and that marked the turning point of social life slump.

____ Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'll just say from ~Nov 1999 to Dec 2002. Here's a rough timeline of major events: Gf got killed Tried to kill myself Dad died of cancer Mate got hit by trian and later died (another friend seriously injured) Tried to kill myself again Grand father died Aunt died And don't give me your sympathy and [cabbage] - I don't need, nor do I want it. Some oldies might remember on scapeboard when my postcount went from a megar 2K or so up to 8K or whatever in 2 months and a bit? Yay for social withdrawl. Hell, I still don't talk much IRL. I think the average is like 10 words/wk even with my family. *hugs DarkWebz* I dunno what I'd do without you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats just as far as most things go... The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

weezcake Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 10th grade. It was my 'emo year'. :/ I was depressed and my grades just dropped. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AThousandLies Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Probably year eight. I was a fatass with a double chin, a fat [wagon], huge man-boobs and a bad haircut. The other day, my mother showed me photos of myself from like two years ago and I couldn't believe how hideous I was. It made me realise that she was never being honest when she said I wasn't ugly ... I had only a couple of friends and people were constantly turning on me and talking behind my back. I never went out anywhere ... ever. If I did it was just because my parents wanted to get me out of the house. I joined a basketball team but I was a really, really bad player. My grades were average at best and in general I was unhappy with myself and my life. My relationship with my brother was deteriorating and I had no self-e-steem. But then I found music, and things began improving. I found a new group of friends whom I could relate to and I began to discover myself; who I was, my sexuality, what I thought, what my purpose was and what I wanted to do with myself. Granted, I still suffer from depression and still don't like myself much, but I see now how much of a loser and a failure I was then, and how much I've matured since then. Of course, this all seems whiney and miniscule in comparison to other's problems, but I can never see things for what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOV Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I got really sick during my second yea of high school and missed over half that year. It wasn't really a "slump" so to speak, but due to the severity of the ilness I had little contact with anyone outside of my immediate family. Don't wish to share what it was but I should be ok for quite some time thanks to the marvels of modern medicine. I know the price. I pay it gladly.

runesmithie Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 10th grade. It was my 'emo year'. :/ I was depressed and my grades just dropped. 10th grade must be a horrible year for everyone =X Girl I liked moved that year, that wasn't too bad, (ok it was -.-) but she changed a lot that year too.... Edit: As for social slumps.. My mom's been wanting me to go out more and do more stuff with friends, but in a rural town theres really only two groups... Those that do nothing on Friday and those that get stoned/drunk on Fridays I'd rather stay home, because IMO I get enough of these people during my 8 hours with them at school :P I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

What an incredible coincidence... 10th was the worst for me too. (well it started at 9th grade but its kinda like a climax of bad things and wutnot...) I avoided alot of social contact that time. People still treated me like the new kid... talking behind my back as well... I got pushed around alot... I failed 2 classes (1 repeated, other in summer school) And the girl I like also left school...

Faux Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Unlike others, grade 10 (I'm in now) is good. Nothing bad so far, still got all my friends with me. I'm gonna say it's grade 7 for me. New kid and all but ti wasn't that bad. I had friends in a while after we moved. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exarch Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Grade 8 - 12 (Present). At the beginning of grade 8 (first year of high school in Canada) I kind of got addicted to a game.. *cough*runescape*cough*. I ended up not doing homework, then skipping school because it wasn't done, which made me miss even more work, etc. Changed schools, and for some other reason the same thing happened (had quit RS temporarily by then). I went back to the 2nd school at the beginning of grade 9, but only lasted a few months. I only attended about 6 months of grade 8 & 9 combined, but somehow I am in grade 12 now and set to graduate on time. I go to a continuing eduaction/alternative school thing though, like half the people are young adults who never graduated. In the switching of schools I lost like all my friends, I haven't really had one in four years. I've developed some social anxiety, it's not too bad, but I sometimes get really nervous and flustered when talking to strangers my own age. It's been getting better since I started working last year, I think, but I'd say I'm still in my social slump :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kielmccaul75 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I would have to say that I am sitting in the middle of a fair social drought XD I can talk to adults and other mature people regularly, but if I use a word that consists of more than four syllables at school I get blank looks all around.

insane Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Am I the only person who hasn't had an 'emo year'? I dunno, I've never really be really depressed. Same here, though I'd say I'm in my social slump now, and it has nothing to do with depression - just that all my good friends are off to their universities in different parts of the province and there's only two or three of us left here, and so we only hang out 2 nights/week. Again, no slump at all, that's just the closest thing I've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, no slump at all, that's just the closest thing I've got. All of my friends went to other Universities bar one. And I haven't seen him around campus for a good 6 months. Before that time it was just over a year. I change friends at uni almost every semester :\ Fault of my own really. If I didn't fail subjects which were prereqs for half of the next semester I wouldn't have this problem :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbistro Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 my social life slump is happening this year-11th grade Well we moved about 100 miles away from our last place. I don't know anyone in the school except for my brother. I sit by myself at lunch because I have no friends in this new school, i'm anti social and bad at making friends and I don't have the same lunch as my brother. I've been pushed around in the hall ways a few times by random people that I don't even know. No one really talks to me. Things were going smoothly in my old school, I made friends, i was a little anti social, but everyone knew me and I was kind of the funny guy. I even got invited to poker/drinking parties. I'm not feeling depresssed because the truth is I hate most of these people, so I dont care. My grades are doing fine,but I have a B in chemistry and possibly a C in math.

____ Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Sounds like school has owned you if you seem to think that getting a B and C in subjects is a drawback. But hey - who am I to judge on what has owned whoes life :-? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I've never had an "emo" year... Never been depressed. Sure there was a time many years ago where I didn't really know how to react socially, but I'd hardly call that a social slump rather than a period of preparation, because that's all it really did-- Make me stronger socially. I've never been anti-social either, just some times I don't want to talk to people and other times I'm really talkative, depends on the mood.

hurl Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Back in 7th grade I had a bad year, maybe not something that you guys would consider bad, but for me it was. A lot of my close friends pretty much drifted away and became "half-friends" of mine, and I had only two close friends left. It pretty much lasted through that whole grade, but in 8th grade things became a lot better. All my old friends and I became closer together again, I met this really awesome girl, I started going out more often rather than staying home, etc. :D 123 Combat / 1900 Skill Total / 99 HP / 7x 99 Stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
