hi, im currently a teenager in high school & have bad socialization skills. for example, back in 7th grade and even last year i ate lunch alone. sometimes i would even have my parents pick me up & take me home from after school activities early because I felt like I didn’t belong. I have a hard time talking to people no matter how hard I try, i just feel like a complete idiot. last year i joined 2 clubs & met amazing people (but we don’t hang out & i don’t really know if they consider me as a friend like how I do them.) one of these clubs i became an officer for. I don’t do much for it, but im still apart of the team. I think it’s important to mention that that most of the members are grouped off so it’s a bit hard to try to talk & make friends with them. a few days ago we all went & took pictures together for the school website. we all dressed up in matching clothes & went to the local park. i would say that it went well, i even started conversations asking about future classes, college plans, driving, complementing on their makeup/outfits. there were times that they weren’t talking to me, but i tried to stand near to feel as if i fit in. so after i went to the local tea shop & sat down alone nearest the entrance. 4 members came in, i said hi to one girl that was standing close to the table, and they didn’t really acknowledge me and sat at the table near the back. I glanced over a few times, finished my drink, & left. I honestly don’t know what to do. I feel like i don’t belong & even thought about quitting the club altogether. help?
