For multiple months now I feel like I’ve been doing everything I can to get better. I go to therapy, I exercise almost every day and I take antidepressants to help with my anxiety and to make me more social but nothing seems to help. Over the last few years I’ve built this reputation of being the quiet kid at school but when I got tired of it, it was already too late. Everyone knows me as the quiet kid and I only have one good friend. I feel so fucking lonely and I don’t know what to do.

Well…..first off i want to congratulate you for makign progress liek goign to therapy and excercise and wanting to improve, it takes a lot of effort and courage…that said…
Reputation is a weird thing, once you have it it takes a lot to change it, the way to change it is weirdly enough in this case….talkign to other people.
It doesnt need to be super logn deep convos, simply talking to people around you little by little will help, it will give you confidence and practice and before you notice you are a lot more social.
It can be really hard at first, and not everyone will be pleased or happy u talk to them, but dont worry about that, as logn as you arent being rude or invasive u are doing nothign wrong
