so this is kind of a long story but pls hear me out but anyway i moved to orange county california like 2 years ago and i am a hs sophomore (16m). at first things were going crazy bc i was getting invited to hella things like parties and bonfires bc i was cool with this one popular girl but something just changed. things don’t feel right with my social life. im not antisocial or anything i talked to alot of people and i am known but somethings just wrong even tho i get recognized with alot of people. thing is i dont rlly have a friend group or even any close/real day one kind of friends or anything like that. i am on surf team and jiu jitsu but i have a pretty big history of fighting with my surf team because they were bullying and doing me wrong so thats not rlly a option. the closest thing i have to real people are the people i train jiu jitsu with but they are homeschooled. there is this one group at my school i hit the gym with but its kind of strange because we only meet on coincidence and start working out together (they dont invite me). ngl theyre also the closest i have to real friends but other than that i never get invited to anything. like the whole last summer 2023 and the weekends now i spend alone doing nothing. but then at school everyone daps me and stuff its really weird. and even when i try to initiate things with people it never really works bc either nobody responds or they flake and stuff like that. I also try to branch out and get closer with people but it feels like im fighting an uphill battle here because everyone is already in their tight friend groups and i either get singled out or they think im annoying. but whats even weirder is that when i go on vacation or a camp then all of a sudden i meet some of the realest people ever but they live on the other side of the world but then at school im lowk a loner. this isnt rlly on my head all the time but sometimes especially on weekends where im alone doing nothing this thought just hits me like a truck and i feel like a loser and that im missing out on being my age. thanks for reading and any help on how to break this cycle would be greatly appreciated.
