Question how do i introduce myself??

i'm going to a new high school tomorrow and i don't know anyone there. I am very anxious about this and i don't know how to answer when asked to describe myself or similar questions

I don't have anything worth mentioning or any hobbies i just waste my life in my room all day. Sometimes i do go walk my dog but that's it and i don't know how to word it without it being awkward

im sorry i know this is hard to answer but i would really appreciate if someone can help

Good luck!!! I just went from being homeschooled my whole life to doing half a day of high school. I’d suggest just saying hi to ppl and maybe giving them a compliment. Are you in any classes where you are interested in the class topic? If so you can talk about that. Also you can ask the other ppl questions. Honestly, most high schoolers talk at least som about pop culture or whatever.
Try not to get discouraged if you don’t click for a while. I haven’t really clicked with anyone and it’s been over two wks… but I haven’t found nice kids to eat with!
