That line has haunted me since the very first time I heard it.
I remember when I was in third grade, I still hadn't made any friends. One day I was crying about it and my dad took me aside and told me not to worry about it, that as long as I kept trying, I would make friends eventually, that there was still plenty of time.
That calmed me down for a while. I remember for a short time following that I started asking every adult I knew if they had friends at my age. Some of them, who were probably lying, said they had trouble making friends as a kid, but that things started to change in high school. My dad also said the high school friends were the ones you kept in touch with, and that he couldn't even name some of his elementary school friends. Once I heard all that, I decided that not having friends yet wasn't that big a deal. As long as I made some before the end of 9th grade, everything would be fine. I also remember seeing cartoons/movies or even observe in real life high school aged kids who were such losers that they were friendless and known as the weird kid, and I judged them for it. I didn't worry about that happening to me at all, because I was guaranteed to have some by high school. My uncle told me that's when he made his first real friends. So it was in my blood.
Well, test your psychic powers on how that turned out. I didn't make any friends at all during high school, no matter how hard I tried. I kept pushing back the deadline to summer after 9th grade, end of first semester of 10th grade, end of 11th grade, always hoping a miracle would happen. But it didn't. I became one of the friendless losers I always had such a low opinion of.By January of 2002, sneior year, I started to face facts that this wasn't gonna happen. Then I remember during the last couple months of high school, this song came out. I actually broke down in tears when I heard it.
High school's a big place. Undoubtedly there were kids like you that you could have befriended.
If you didn't make any friends in high school it's because you didn't try.
>gave up in senior year
I stopped clinging to false hope by 8th grade. That must have been torture for you.
>simple plan
you do realize that's what edgy 12 year olds listen to right?

I did try.

it was painful to keep trying, but at the same time I'm not sure how I would have gotten through those years without the delusion.

I really don't care. I can't deny how it makes me feel.
