i feel like my high school years have been so drab and unmemorable because i lack a group of close friends. i know a quite a lot of people, but there’s only really one person who i’m somewhat ‘close’ with. i feel so detached at school because i’ve become antisocial and reserved. at this point i’m too tired to put myself out there and meet new people, but i also hate being so alone. everyone is already in a friend group and i feel like i don’t belong anywhere- i’ve kind of just been floating in my own. there’s really nobody in my classes that i connect with. i always spiral thinking that i’m so alone because others perceive me as weird, or that i’m just an unlikeable person. i’m really insecure. when i get home from school it feels like nobody knows i exist, and that if i were to disappear, nobody would notice. i am distant from my family and isolate myself in my room. i often go online to talk to strangers, but i know it’s unhealthy and makes it more difficult for me to interact with people in real life. this loneliness has been so depressing and demotivating and i just feel so lame. :(

heyy im 17f from the US. im pretty lonely as i don't really have too many people to talk to and i have been particularly stressed lately bc of school and testing season. i usually stay up late at night studying and thinking and it gets pretty lonely, so id enjoy having some company. i’m down to study together, call, or have a convo about whatever- i like pokemon, painting, and swimming. id prefer talking to people near my age and i would rather talk on discord C:

So my orthodontist made me wait four years until I stopped growing before starting braces treatment. Today she told me that they had to fix my underbite before getting braces, and gave me two options of either getting Marpe to expand my upper palate and move it forward or to get jaw surgery. Jaw surgery seems a little extreme (since my underbite is somewhat minor) but the whole Marpe process would take around 1 and a half years, which seems a little long.. I don’t think my palate is that narrow and I have a large airway, so would Marpe really be the right treatment? I would appreciate some advice thank you :)

I have a mild underbite and my orthodontist made me wait four years before starting braces treatment (I’m 17 and mostly done growing now). She basically gave me three options to “fix” my underbite so I can start braces (bc my lower teeth are very crowded):

1. Get jaw surgery to move my upper jaw forward and lower jaw back
2. Wear a palette expander for 2 years to widen my upper jaw and move it forward (But she doesn’t know if this will fully work)
3. Pull out two bottom teeth and get a procedure done to move my wisdom teeth to replace the teeth (She said this one is the least optimal procedure though)

All options seem a little extreme.. she said jaw surgery is most ideal but then again my underbite isn’t a very urgent case and that surgery would be for “aesthetic purposes” mostly. But I also don’t want to wear a palette expander for 2 whole years :(
Could I get some input or advice please?
