am I a square?

I know life stories are boring...Currently I am waiting to be enrolled in summer school and I only need 2 more credits to graduate. I have already tried to be independent but my roommates let me down. I've been an "at home person" for about five months. I live off of social security at the moment because I have a really low white blood cell count. Most all my friend drink and smoke weed, I on the other hand can't really tolerate these things because I get bad reactions, If I drink I get a cold, and when I smoke I feel as if my anxiety will utterly land me in a heart attack and my ears ring. I don't know what to do, I feel like the worlds biggest square, I like to be around people but I have trouble socializing, what do I talk about? why does my body tense up and my speech become lazy? Basically I just play video games all day and draw. I have no life and hardly any direction. Over all I feel as if I've yet to find myself because I hardly am good at anything to the point that it defines me and I feel I'm lacking purpose. Religion is not for me, and neither is killing braincells just to kick it. How do I get rid of the awkwardness amongst my friends and begin to find myself?, if you actually read this your awesome and thanks for your time and any advice, Omar

I think for a lot of people, it's fear of rejection. When you realize that you are the star of your own life and you're not here to live up to anyone else's expectations, socializing becomes easier.

As far as finding yourself, don't worry about it. Some people spend their entire lives trying to find themselves. In Buddhism, the objective is to lose the sense of self. A "self" cannot be defined because it is constantly changing.

Thank you

Thats awesome, I didn't think I'd actually get a response, Thanks and great advice, much obliged. Have a beautiful day.
