Success Happy

Have I wasted my life at home (good teen years)?

I went to college in a program at age 16 and am still there at age 19. I did Running Start, where at junior in high school you can take freshmen year of college classes and graduate with a four year degree two years early. So at least I have that. I got into some trouble along the way because I was always at home. Family got in my face, and had some fights that cannot be taken back. I have some phone #s in my high school year book, I will call them in the next few days here. I cannot take it anymore, mainly because I'm getting older and its unhealthy. I always sit in my room and watch tv religiously. Don't take to people. I admit it, I'm a loner. I've realized time goes and life will suck if don't have fun now before I have to go to university then work a REAL career. Time doesn't care, it ticks, ticks. I spent all day today at home today watching repeat news on tv while my mother was at work and thought, "man, this sucks!" I'm not a total loser, I talk at school with people. But no times things were really crazy, with no rules, like off the record stuff like hanging out or doing something. No gf either. This might be more common, i dont know. I'm thinking about it. Seems like the times were empty. Only thoughts of horrible school work and dark days. I've heard there's no real formula to get friends, or such thing. It just happens. But it doesn't happen, like other than just talking. I saw somebody else mention this on yahoo as well. What is your opinion? I feel I have a real opportunity to turn it around here, but I know I must do something and am the only one. I'm a cool dude, smart. It's not like I'm a nerd or anything. I also work a job like hell. I failed a class last quarter, mainly because I think I lack a "balance" in life. I was burned out, and CHEATED on tests. Things gotta turn around. 2 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details Like, for say, tomorrow, we are going to meet some family friends and have tons of dinner, food. But I only do family things. THE ONE EXCEPTION is when I recently went to southern California for spring break (beach and all, bike riding). But even then I was with my grandfather the whole time and his old friends.

1. Dude - you know what your problem is... get out of the house. Find an outdoor hobby and join a club of people who re into that hobby. This is serious, I don't want to hear about you cracking and going postal somewhere. Your city will have some sort of recreation calendar listing various clubs. Or use the internet to look up a hobby club forum .They usually have meets for members to see/talk to each other.. Think of stuff that requires interaction with people that are in your age group. Or join a gym, and sign-up for cycling, racketball, outdoor running... the options are endless... You hear about 70-80 yr old people meeting each other and getting married. Heck, if they can do it why can't you... be positive. It's never too late.
