Am I basically screwed for high school?

DO WHAT YOU WANT. Nobody thinks about you. They are busy thinking about themselves.

Protip: High school really isn't as important as people pretend it is. Sure, it gets you into college, and sometimes stuff happens that matters but the fact is nothing that is important to you now will matter in a couple of years time.

So my advice is this: don't wait for college. College is a great time to reinvent yourself, but if you've never tried being different, you won't when you get to college. Do it now in highschool when nothing really counts (unless you kill someone or get someone pregnant)

Advice I was given regarding high school.

My personal advice is to work on bettering yourself. I quit playing video games for 2 Weeks so far and started no fap (1 week so far!!).

In the time I used to play games and fap I started using that to actually do my homework, lift weights, jump rope, learn Spanish, and organize my life.

Use the time on your hands to ask yourself what you want to do in your life and pursue it! I decided that I'm going to become more active, attractive, and proactive (Hehe).

Also don't worry what others think about you. I don't think about anybody at my school when they're not in my presence. To Busy being awesome. If somebody if thinking about you they must have nothing good to do with their time, or they're into you ;)

Might be going against the masses here, but I'd honestly say you're a bit screwed with the people who knew the 'previous' you. A relatively sudden change vs your old persona will feel incongruent to people in your social circle.

A change of scenery would do you good both on your confidence front and also regarding how people perceive you.

It's high school and three years from now unless your life has gone terribly awry it will seem so incredibly unimportant how your freshman year went and what someone whose name you can't remember thought about you being "too open"

people will try and strike you down. the nail that sticks out gets hammered. but who cares?

put yourself out there, get rejected, get hurt, callous your frame until it's unshakable. the longer you wait the harder it is.

it's like nobody listened to the magic school bus: take chances, make mistakes, get messy.

one suggestion: for heaven's sake don't do pick up artist crap. if you're waiting at the vending machine with a girl behind you you can say something like "this machine keeps taking my money it pisses me off so much" to meet girls but don't hand of god girls and do lines and shit unless you have the frame and congruence for it.

In addition to all of the great advice that everyone has offered, I can tell you a great, potentially motivating story of a guy I went to high school with. All through HS he was a button-down, straight laced, nerdy, always had a laptop with him, was never at any of the parties (and definitely no girlfriend) kind of guy.

Then one year he came back after working for his Dad's trucking company for the summer. Contact lenses. Aviator sunglasses. Blue jeans & Harley Davidson t-shirts, cool belt buckles. Cowboy boots. He spoke with a deeper tone of voice that was commanding and he spoke slower which meant you had to pay attention. Oozed confidence. Total 180 degree turn. He took on a whole new personality. What really worked for him was that he completely owned it. He dressed differently from everyone else in school, but no one ever teased him about it because he was the guy he was trying to portray. Other than the first few weeks of school when everyone was asking, "Have you seen Shawn??" his change was never discussed. It was respected.
