I go on long walks around my neighborhood and pretend I have friends
Are you lonely?
I just feel like it, as my parents don't allow me to go out often.
Are your parents that controlling? They won't let you have friends? Are you too young and they don't trust you?
I'm 17, I just don't know.
Well, maybe try and make friends through your interests/hobbies. That's usually a good way to find people with similar interests.
