Talk to people to make new friends “they said”. Eventually they’ll warm up to you they said.
This has not been true at all in my experience. Everyone new that I talk to has distanced themselves from me immediately and look at me like I’m weird. I tried being friendly, not being friendly and nothing has worked. Even when I stuck around to see the same people multiple times they just excluded me from their friend group.
So what are people REALLY doing these days to actually befriend new people?
Am I just stupid?

If everyone is distancing themselves that’s a strong message. You’re probably going to have to ask one of them for some brutually honest advice and be ready to hear some unpleasant things about yourself.
If they agree, afterwards say “Thank you, I’m going to work on that” and then change the subject and never bring it up to them again.
