I know this is not Disney-related in any way. My name is Kevin and I am having a really bad XMas. I'm usually very optimistic when I come home from college, but this break has been the worse break ever. After coming back from my bowling trip to Vegas, I was locked outside. Had to get locksmith for $340. Then when I came back, I felt like my family has disowned me. I don't know what to do. All I can do is to play piano and make people feel relaxed as if they were next to a fireplace, nothing else.
That lonely feeling when you come home from college is completely normal. You are not who you once were as you have been shaped from your experiences at college, so naturally the relationship between you and your family will seem different. Try talking about other family members in a positive light, your schooling, or give a compliment. These are usually good ways to break the ice. At hard, but it does get easier! Hope your Christmas starts looking up! - ladylikesdisney

I just can't make any friends. Don't know how :( my problem is speaking up and greeting them since I ruin them. That's what my relatives say :(( - keli7516

How old are you? Do you go to school? It may be tough but try speaking up little by little until you get comfortable meeting new people. If you're local you can even try coming to a MW meetup sometime. Most are pretty welcoming! - ScubaSteve028 812.6 #115 3:24AM
I might not have any more time going on MW since I will hv more iPhone by April 2013. Will downgrade as well - keli7516

Sorry you're having a rough time...my son is home from college (his first year) he's experiencing new things and I understand that and am so proud of him. Yes he's growing up and little things are not quite the same but underneath the growing up he's still my baby boy and we make it work....try joining in family activities or asking if anyone needs help with anything....hope things get better and that 2013 is great for you - cdeley

I remember coming home for Christmas while in the Navy. It was easy to feel like an outsider. Just remember that they are the same family that have always loved you. As for making friends, just believe in yourself and show what you have to offer as a friend. It also helps to tell a few jokes and smile. - ScooterMike

Like everyone else said, it's so normal to feel this way. You've experienced something so new and you're going to have to put more of an effort but I promise if you do, you won't regret it - MarshaMouse
