Lost in life

[RealBobby]

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? For some reason I hate social interactions so I have no school friends, close to no hobbies and I had this business idea to help the environment that I thought was really good and I spent the last week researching about it, I tell my dad who's a businessman and he basically says it's a terrible idea. The business idea was pretty much the only thing that kept me going I don't know what to do with my life I look on Instagram and see all the amazing times my schoolmates are having while during my holidays I spend 8 hours a day on the internet which I don't really enjoy. Why am I so stupid socially and what are some good hobbies? I'm not looking forward to 10 weeks of school which will be a nightmare especially when the teachers always say 'our school is so welcoming and friendly' when I'm the only person that can't make any friends. Then I've got 6 weeks holidays where I'll probably do nothing but browse the internet.

Hi RealBobbyWilson,

We may have spoken on another thread you started a while back, apologies if I am getting you confused with someone else however. You say you hate social interaction? Is there any reason behind it, do you just not like talking with other people or get nervous about it? It really is never 100% easy to make friends, I struggled during school making friends as well and spent many school holidays on my own. I finally found hobbies I enjoyed and that is how I started making friends. You asked what are good hobbies but that can only be decided by you, what do you enjoy doing?

My best for you,

Jay

I don't really enjoy anything other than browsing through the internet, I want to be an entrepreneur but realised I couldn't because I'm crap with people and all my ideas for a business have been awful.

Hi RealBobby,

Being an entrepreneur is great and challenging, I think it's great you are coming up with business ideas and I hope you do not give up on them as it can take a 1000 ideas before you get one that sticks and will work. Social interaction is a big part of business but from what I know, many great minds have struggled dealing with people day to day as their mind is so caught up in their business and making sure it is a success, working on your social interaction is key here and trying each day to improve on it is something you can try, even if it is just saying hello to someone at school and trying to strike up a conversation with them.

My best,

Jay
