Here's my problem:
I know this is a common complaint but hear me out. I always feel awkward in social situations, like parties, school, and even church. I feel like everyone is evaluating me and I get anxious around girls. I never get out. I only get to go to several places. Church (two places my parents and FBC of moore), school, my family store, and the library (the only place where i feel i can escape it all.) are the only places.
I have a few friends but I barely know them. Just their names and hobbies (and i barely know much about their hobbies). And only a couple of them visit, because their close to me. I never get to go to any of my "friends'" houses. I never get to hang out with anyone outside of school (no exaggeration. I literally stay home all day, everyday after school.). I've never had any relationships (girlfriend).
Sound's petty I know, but once you've experienced the droning, repetitive days I have to endure then you'll know what I mean.
Its my parents. They've literally antagonized the concept of friends. They even said, and I quote, "Friends will lead you down the wrong path. All they do is get in cars and have accidents." They're extremely conservative, they still use switches. So I don't know how to break their stereotype without getting a couple lashings. What should I do?
