Nothing Special But I'm Still Hurting

I'm 15 and I've never had a boyfriend.
The title of this basically sums up my whole life. I'm 15 and I've never had a boyfriend. Not even a kiss. Why? I would kill to have a boy just smile at me, look at me, but I don't think it's ever going to happen. Not anytime soon anyway.
I feel depressed but unlike the people on here, I've never cut myself or seen a therapist. I can't tell anyone. I don't feel that I'm worth the words I am typing, I don't think anyone likes me and, yes, I sound like a brat with the whole 'nobody likes me' thing, but that's genuinely how I feel. I'm so shy that when I'm around other people, I feel myself tense up. I'm the person in the background — irrelevant. That's how I feel. Everyone makes me feel uncomfortable and no-one seems to understand. They're all like 'why can't you just join in the conversation?' or 'oh don't mind her, she never speaks'. It hurts. It tears me to pieces knowing that nobody will take the time to just figure me out. Just simple things like waking up in the morning and having to go to school, to face my peers, is the hardest thing for me. What makes me so inferior? Why do I have to be the socially awkward freak?
If I knew the answers, I wouldn't be so upset, lonely and tired. I know my story sounds pathetic next to all these serious problems but to me, it's my life and it's what kills me inside. I'm nothing extraordinary but I'm still hurting.
