I feel like I’m going to lose my sanity.

I will only be working two days this week, and one of the shifts is only 3 1/2 hours. I have posted on Facebook that I’m available for anyone to hang out with me but no one ever responds. I feel like I’m going to be trapped in my house with no one to talk to and I’m already starting to freak out over it. I don’t have a social life outside of work and for my whole life I’ve always had trouble making friends. If I make one more post on Facebook asking people to hang out with me, no one will respond like every time I make this kind of post.

Asking people online to hang with you makes you seem too needy.That's most likely why people don't respond to your request...I know I wouldn't. You have to develop a relationship with a person before you ask something like that...to learn whether or not you have anything in common. Asking strangers to hang out with you seems needy and desperate and that chases people away...especially online. You need to work on your confidence and social skills while you are so young. It's your responsibility to make your life better as it is everyone's responsibility.
