I know this may seem like a sob story but the most I'm looking for is some advice in what I should do;
Lately I have been feeling quite lonely, not because of any family problems or anything too serious its just I don't necessarily interact with the peers at my school the way they do. Keep in mind I go to a very "Ghetto" school in which there are very people that may interact with me. To put you more into perspective of my situation I am usually the kid who gets done with his assignee first, who always no matter what time of day has headphones on, purposefully tries to end conversations with people and tries hard to impress those around me just to get a smidge of attention. Kinda like what I'm doing right now.
Anyways I joined a sport to force myself to become social, Track and field. This failed and continues failing because I cant necessarily figure out a way to start a conversation and keep that subject on par with the person I'm talking to. If anything it feels like I'm the only one there not because I don't talk to my fellow team members but because I don't think they know where I'm coming from. It always seems that I'm nervous to even really speak to them because I don't know them, and I'm scared they don't want to get to know me.
So my question is how do I get over this fear of socialization when nobody wants to socialize with me?
