Why can't i connect with people?

Yesterday my dad gave me a half an hour lecture. He says i lie on my bed all day, using my iPhone, and that i don't socialise. He said some very harsh things, like how he feels i look retarded not going outside and socialising. I have no way to tell him i simply can't connect with people. I've tried in my own way, it just doesn't work. If my friends invite me to go somewhere with them, i usually go and have a good time, but thats about it. Everything else is simply outside my comfort zone. I want to tell my dad i have trouble connecting but i know he won't understand what i'm trying to say. At school i succeeded at being friends with this really cute girl, and for 3 months it was so good. But then she didn't want to be friends because i was too boring. I seem to bore everyone i try to befriend. Some people look at me and just smile in a weird way, almost mockingly. Its really taking its toll on me. I'm not trying to get attention, i genuinely need help. And my parents won't understand

Don't think that you r boring be u whatever happens people used to say that every one should have some identity my identy is that I used to talk over and over may be boring other is your identity I'm dam sure there will be a great frd who is going to listen to you keep searching her until u find her

I'm sorry you are struggling with this and don't feel comfortable talking to your dad.

Believe it or not, almost everyone goes through times when they feel down or discouraged. Adolescence is a time of significant physical and emotional change, and teens can find themselves dealing with insecurities and reacting with greater sensitivity to the circumstances and people around them. Even though many of your friends may act confident and happy on the outside, it's very likely that they deal with similar feelings. You are not alone in this struggle!

If you are certain that your dad would not understand, do you have another caring adult you could speak to about this? Maybe a school counselor, youth pastor or teacher? Because they know you well, and may have gone through a similar experience when they were your age, their advice can be especially valuable.
