i have no friends

[tsimmons30]

During high school, all of my friends wanted to go out and party every weekend. I obviously refused to go because of my phobia. My friends ended up making new "party friends" while I ended up staying home alone every weekend.
My boyfriend is now going through his "party" phase as a senior in high school. And of course, I don't go with him. Because I don't go with him, he ended up getting drunk once and making out with his ex-girlfriend. I blame myself, because this would have never happened if I was there.
I just want to have friends who are just like myself. I want to live a normal life. I want to be able to go out in public without being afraid of someone getting sick. I want to be able to watch movies in the movie theater without asking people about v**** scenes first. I want to stop having dreams about people getting sick.
I need help, someone help me...

Can you join a club that has common interests? Then you could meet friends who like to do things besides drink? People do outgrow that phase but as you get older its nice to meet people on sports teams or book clubs or anything that you both enjoy.
Obviously you need to work on your phobia, but obviously surrounding yourself with extreme drunkeness isn't the best first step. Although you might want to try going to parties- there is usually a lot of warning when a drunk gets to the point of sickness- just don't be in any situations you can't leave quickly if it arises. (Like in the same car)
Good luck! (and its not your fault your boyfriend cheated, regardless of why you weren't there, it's his!)

Do your friends know about your emet? If so, they should never move on from you as a friend. They might go out and do things without you, but if they are true friends AND know about your emet, they will still be your friend and spend time with you.

If you haven't told them about it, maybe that's your next step. Be open about yourself, you have nothing to be ashamed of
