Sometimes my friends tell me I'm selfish with things, but it's just because it's mine, and I don't usually have things all to myself.
I don't have a massive tight group of friends that does every thing together. I don't have a friends who always come over. I spend my weekends sitting at home, because no one's invited me anywhere, and whenever I invite people somewhere, they're always busy. When I finish high school I'm hardly going to see any of my friends at all.
The only place I actually feel like I'm valued is at my taekwondo club. Three wonderful times a week I feel like I'm the equal, and sometimes the superior, of everyone in the room.
Bleh. I guess this is just a wake up call for me to stop being so shy. But I can't help it. People are scary, and I can't help but worry what they think of me.

Take initiative. Invite someone over and build a tradition of, say, movie night fridays. As for boyfriend, sign up for a class in the community or an extracurricular at school. I found mine in the Drama Club. A lot of boys just take those classes for the credits, so there's usually quite a selection of bored (and attractive) males just waiting for someone to strike up a conversation.
