I'm in my first year of high school this year, and I don't really want to have much contact with my classmates, and I can't take any interest in their affairs, not even to joke around. In the last month, I've always wondered if I'm depressed because most things don't make me happy, and even if I'm a little happy, it's only for a moment.
I especially missed my middle school classmates before, even the ones I didn't talk to much, and they felt closer than my high school classmates.
Hi, Mr. Owner. I'm Koboku, the whale social worker.
First of all, a warm hug to you, totally understand how you feel. From your description, you haven't been in the best of moods this past month, and you probably don't have much in common with your high school classmates. Could this be because you've just entered a new environment and you don't know each other very well yet?
It's actually quite normal that high school is more academically stressful, and that classmates may not be as close to each other as they are in middle school. But if you can make a few close friends in high school, it will help you in your studies and life.
Don't worry too much, it's not necessarily a big deal. Think about whether anything special happened a month ago that affected your mood? Why else would this feeling of being low come out of nowhere?
If you feel more chatty with your middle school classmates, then keep in touch with them more often. At the same time, also try to get along with high school classmates, such as find similar grades, can talk to each other classmates learn from each other. This will not only improve your grades, but also have someone to talk to when you're stressed, so you may become good friends.
All the best~ (whale social worker 🐳)
