I can be rather negative.
I see a fair share of candy coated advice in here for you deathshead2. The kind of advice that tells you to change who you are in a lot of cases. Although it's not very inviting to be a negative pessimist all the time, don't be something your not.
I started to lose some of my friends a year or two after high school. At first it was a downer but then I realized that, like a lot or even dare I say most people, they became fake just to fit in finally and be popular.
I don't trust a lot of people because from my experience too many people out there are like sheep. Just following that norm even if it means turning a big part of yourself off just to be accepted.
Do what feels right, if your naturally pessimistic and don't see or feel anything wrong with it then don't change yourself.(I myself am a bit on the negative side a lot...I call it being a realist. I don't like candy coated ideas or smoke blown up my ass)
My friends find me funny when I'm actually being negative and ranting about something. If I try to be funny in your average person kind of way...it never works. So I just act like myself.
I can't stand people that have that fake smile and laugh at everything attitude, it literally disgusts me.
Over time I made some new friends not to mention a few of my older friends came back because I don't know...I guess they woke up.
Just do what feels right. Unless fitting in and being accepted by the "majority" is what you strive for, just be yourself and try to meet new people that like you for who you are.
Remember, your still in high school. There's a whole world out there for you to explore.
