I feel left out in life...

Ok, so none of my friends are talking to me, my coach clearly doesn't want me to play basketball this year, cause he never calls me to tell me what time our games are, and I haven't really heard anything from hardly any of my friends. IDK WHAT TO DO anymore in life.

Well, are your friends just not contacting you? If that's the case, contact them and make friendly. That's what I do. If they're just plain not talking to you, though, I would try talking to them and asking if you did something to make them feel this way.

As for your coach, you need to call him and ask him what the deal is. Tell him that if he doesn't want you playing basketball, he needs to tell you straight up and give you a good reason why.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Axel

But the thing is, he's been begging me to get better at my shooting(which I have). I mean, he doesn't even call me to tell me what time the game was yesterday, when he clearly told me he would. And I have been trying to contact my friends on myspace and sometimes text messages, they still ignore me though, idk why, I never did anything wrong to them. I don't think I did anyway.

You could ask them if you did. Chances are people aren't going to tell you if you did do something that put them off (not that I'm saying you did).

Well buddy, i've noticed on myspace your statuses are always quite depressing, fake a smile, people respond a lot better to happiness then sorrow, i know from personal experience, i've got things in my life that i don't like, but i don't go around telling the world anymore.



Axel

Well why fake a smile when nothing very exciting has happened to me lately, and no one wants to hang out with me or anything...

MagmarFire

That's why it's called "faking."

He doesn't want to fake frowns, Commodore.

This isn't the approach you want to take, Jdog. I used to do this sniveling crap too, it doesn't help. Took forever for me to snap out of it. A lot of times people don't contact their friends right away once summer starts, except for incredibly close ones. Take the initiative. Contact them yourself. And don't do it with 'Why is noone talking to me?' or something whiny, then they'll just be sick with you. Just suggest something. Plan to see a movie and invite everyone you know to tag along. If they don't come, fine. Don't worry about making everyone your friend, it's not worth it. Let them become your friend if it works out that way. Focus more on the person, and not the thought of the person.

This is exactly why I voluntarily have few friends.

I don't have to deal with as much drama.

But like the others have said, take the first step.  Call them personally.  It's so easy to ignore a text message or online message.  It's a lot harder to ignore a phone call, especially if your number comes up as restricted and they don't know it's you.

As for the coach, show up the basketball game in person and confront him.

Like i said Jdog, appear to be a really happy and fun guy, that's the kind of person people want to hang out with, and have a close friend or two that you talk about your problems with, i myself am lucky to have three friends like that.
