Dear the den,
Having lots of friends can either be a boon or bane to you. First
of all, ask yourself why do you think everyone hates you or devoid
of any friends? Perhaps you are just being too selfconcious and you
need to work on your self esteem. And I know what you're thinking
*easier said than done 
! But I understand! I went through it all through secondary school.
I would be afraid people were laughing at me, staring at me, etc. I
finally said that this is ridiculous and if people can't accept me
for WHO I am, then they're not worth it and they're either jealous,
or have low self esteem themselves and are feeding on other people
just like themselves
Having lots of friends can be something good because you can share
any sad or happy feelings you have with them. You can lim kopi
together 
and
watch movies together. Your charisma can considerably increase as
time goes by. Not to brag, but i enjoy my popularity in and outside
school tremendously not because i possess looks that many people
die for but because i dare to make friends
Thats what you should have. The dare to befriend strangers.
One bad thing of having friends is the ability of malicious rumours
and incidences of backstabbing spreading among your circle of
friends. This may cause a strife among u and your friends and may
even cause cold shoulder treatment amongst u and them.
Tell yourself that you're pretty, funny, caring, talented, think
about a special skill you got that makes you smile, think about a
fun time you had when you were little, anything that will let you
smile and tell yourself that you ARE a liked person! And if you
have friends that are constantly treating you bad, I know it's
hurtful but you need to either stick up to them, or distance
yourself from them and hang out with other people. One of the
hardest lessons in life is that friends come and go in our life and
sometimes we just have to let go and move on.
Cheers
