I’m an highschool student and going to class is getting harder and harder because of how lonely and draining it is. I always wanted to have friends to share my interests and to have fun with, but no matter how much i tried people just shrugged me off or treated me horribly, they didn’t want me as their friend.
I’ve been in this situation for a while, now i just stay quiet and mind my own buisness but because of that i’ve lost the ability to express myself, i always find it hard to make sentences and i stammer to the point were i’m making a fool of myself. I find it better to give up and just shut up.
I’ve been questioning myself, maybe there’s something weird about me that people don’t like. So i’ve tried multiple things like staying authentic, beeing sweet and caring or beeing a people pleaser but none of that seemed to work. I feel like i really need someone, I am on my own every day, my parents are like rocks and i don’t do anything besides eat, sleep, games and phone. I’ve lost the energy to do anything and maybe a bit of company would help.
I’m getting desperate here. I’ll try to get as much help as possible and maybe get a therapist.

Join a club on campus and explicitly state your intentions to club members. “My name is xyz and I want to make friends/expand my social circle, nice to meet you”. If you get the cold shoulder, drop them. If they respond warmly, youre in and you skipped many weeks of acquaintance stage.
