When I was young, I would go to summer camp every year, not knowing the people, I’d be friends with them within a day or two. ON EXCEPTION, I remember going when I was older and not vibing with the group because they cliched up and were younger than me.
​
At school, I tried to talk to people, but people already had their settled friend groups and didn’t care about putting in the effort to integrate someone new (I didn’t know anybody bcz I switched schools). I also think I had a bad reputation or something because people just really did not want to talk to me or try to be friends. I know I didn’t do everything right, but obviously, I was doing something right if that worked at summer camp.
​
Why could this be?
