I’m a high school student living in constant sadness due to a few reasons I’d say. People always think of me as a nerd and make fun of me for answering questions in class that I want to ask to understand subject material better. I know they talk behind my back and whenever I feel like I get close to someone, they spread rumours about me based on whatever I’ve vented to them about and get a group of people to dislike me. I think I vent too much and give pressure to people when I play video games and I really want to find a way to stop doing this and just maintain friendships for fun. I have one last friend group I can reliably turn to left and if those people start to dislike me, I don’t know what to do. If I’m doing anything wrong please tell me and ask me any other questions just in case the situation seems unclear or fishy in any way.
