PLEASE HELP
I came to college. Initially people loved spending time with me. Friends would ask me to go out with them, they’d come sit next to me. Etc. I am an only child and LOVED the attention. People would call me funny.
Fast forward, now other people are getting the spotlight. People don’t treat me like the favorite anymore. That is making me feel absolutely shitty. I want to be the favorite in every friend group and the funniest, but other people are getting more attention.
I’m low on confidence now, and feel like people liked me initially because of the novelty factor. I feel like I’m not funny, and people have gotten use to me now and other people have the charm, but not me.

If I’m going to make a bet here, it’s because after a while people can tell the difference between someone who is just funny/etc and someone who is doing it for the attention. The latter usually turns people off and leaves them feeling tired of that person.
Be funny for you, not for others, and people who find you funny will stick around.
