Facebook Depression

[MCGamerzism]

Hey Baes,

So I'm gonna try keep this short because people don't like reading loads.

So I'm gonna explain what I mean by Facebook depression, I'm a rather shy, unconfident and a self conscious person, in the real world, on the internet, I'm weird and just fun to be around, and what I see on Facebook relates to this.

I see my classmates on Facebook posting pictures of them hanging around with dudes and girls and I look at myself and say, what am I doing, I'm a scrub, unsociable outsider. Today was the only day I actually socialised, went to Nottingham.

So my problem is, I see on Facebook all depressed about me, sitting on my computer all day, while all my school "friends" have fun.

The weird thing is, I WANNA BE ON MY COMPUTER AND NOT GO OUT TO TOWN AND SOCIALISE! But why the hell am I jealous of these people's then!

I'm gonna delete Facebook over the summer, but I can see myself going on it when school starts again. I really shouldn't, but I can't resist looking at all the banter, bs and other stuff people gotta say to eachother.

So my question is....

• Why am I jealous to see my school mates hang around, when I don't want to...yet I'm jealous
• And why am I jealous of people writing statuses confidently without giving a f*ck about people judging them
• How can I gain confidence. I'm scared of the simplest things such as writing a Facebook status and worrying what people will think about me.

Thank you for reading I'd love anyone who could give me some advice!

I'm sorta like you. Shy and unconfident. But, in actuality, why sit there, depressed, knowing that you can do something better? Just put yourself in their shoes; how do you know they don't just act confident the same reason as you and many others? Just don't worry about it. It's the summer; the time to do whatever you want. Have fun.

The only reason you are being jealous is being deep down inside, you sometimes feel like you want to be like them. Remember everyone is special, and I respect that in you. Even though you aren't social irl, you seem like a good guy on the forums, and many people tend to know you. What I can say, is become confident. When school starts, go and mingle, no matter what the hate is. In fact, ignore the hate, think of it as the pickles in the burger, and throw it out. Enjoy the rest that is there. If everyone around you finds you confident and "indestructible", they will tend to like you. Find people that you have stuff in common with. If you have clubs in your school, join them. If you have sport teams in your school, join them, as you can make many friends. I used to be kinda annoying and didn't really know how to talk to girls. After 7th grade, I have gotten so many friends it's not even funny xD Anyways good luck and hope I helped. Take a break from Facebook as well, nothing really good about that.

Eventually when you go back to school, if you socialize in school, and just be yourself Over time you will gain more self confidence And people will start liking you for being you. Then you might feel more confident going out meeting people.. And when you do like me, you will find you enjoy it more than just being sat on the computer. And with us being mods on cove, going out is like a big stress relief

Why don't you try make friends in the new year? Just be yourself and don't be shy and scared and hide in a corner ._. I made friends in 2nd grade as I was kinda shy too, but I tried.

I think its because most people, don't sit on a computer and play a ton of Minecraft. Minecraft is fun for you, whatever your friends do is fun for them. I think you feel jealous because you're the minority. You wanna have fun the way others do it, but if Minecraft is the funnest thing for you then play it.
