I hate weekends! Everybody else from my year in school always go out on Friday and Saturday nights. Not only do you have to put up with them discussing where they're going on Friday in school but you get it all again on Monday morning. While they're out having a good time I'm stuck in the house. I get seriously depressed.

I get seriously depressed. I highly suggestion going to the movies. There are some good shows out there. If you can't get a friend or family to go with you. Go by yourself. I found I had a great time just hanging out by myself

I am not in school anymore, but I remember those days. Don't feel left out. Take up a hobby, reading, writing, bowling, something, get involved with your family. Heck, you could volunteer somewhere. Join the band. I may have been a band "geek" but I had a lot of fun in high school being in band and I made a lot of friends. Remember, keep smiling!!!

I dont know how this is for other guys but I would find it hard to go to the movies by myself or some other active places where many couples and groups of people go.

I've been to the cinema alone before, its not that bad, all it entails is walking in, buying your ticket, sitting down, watching a movie and walking out again, easy. You might feel out of place being alone when others aren't but all your doing is watching a move, its not like its a place where you go to have great conversations or anything.

I think this 24/7 society has a lot to do with the amount of families braking up & divorces.
I remember as a kiddie everything would stop at 5 on a Friday until 9 Monday morning.
I only get one weekend in three off due to my shift pattern so I don't get my regular fix of football.

I can relate. Throughout school, I would hear other students brag about their plans for the weekend. Meanwhile, I'd be stuck at home. At my highschool, a lot of kids would go to the football or basketball games then go to some party afterwards. Or I would feel left out when my school had a dance because everybody had a date. It made me mad to see others in groups having fun and laughing together. I cried a lot on weekends because I didn't have any friends to do stuff with.

i go through this!
much of what you people have written as being something in the past, is something i go through still.
and im not in highschool, past that, so it makes it "worse"
i feel like i have lost a chunk of my life sitting at home doing nothing, whilst everyone is out meeting new people and having fun, having boyfriends/girlfriends...
i have not experienced anything like that
i won't go to the movies alone, and i hate doing things alone, because i feel paranoid. i have been made fun of in the past about being a loner, and this gives me a huge complex about going anywhere alone.
i cry on weekend nights. it is more lonliness than anything else. i usually cry myself to sleep.
i sometimes think it isn't cause of my shyness, maybe there is something wrong with me, but coming here and reading that other people go through a similiar thing makes me feel like it isn't so unusual afterall

There's nothing wrong with doing stuff on your own - I go and hear music, watch films etc all the time by myself, because it interests me and it's better than staying in. So don't be worried about that - nobody in the bar or the cinema is laughing at you because you're alone, just get out and do it. Even just the change of scene will kill those lonely hours and take your mind off things.
Have lunch in a pub or a diner (depending on which country you live in!) - I was feeling very down over December, and just making sure I kept going out helped me get through it until the mood lifted.

I agree, there's absolutely no same in going out on your own. It will also help you figure out what you like to do, because many shy people rely on the other people in a group to make all the decisions.
