I was bullied from all angles (peers in school, teachers, and my own family) my friends would turn on me as they didn’t want to be around the “weird girl”, and even now as an adult, my current friends ignore me, talk over me, exclude me and barely support anything I do. I am introverted, and I do not doubt for a moment it came across as me thinking I was better than everyone but I never did, and any attempts to get more social there was always one person to shut it down (e.g one time in class, one of the students wanted to pull a prank on the teacher and asked us all to pretend we were asleep, and they included me, but one of my bullies immediately came over to me and started mocking me and would not let up until I “woke up”). As an adult, I am trying to improve (listening more, attending social gatherings (not since the pandemic but before that I was), getting active on social media and talking), but I wonder why I bother because it’s met with people pretending I don’t exist or being otherwise combative of what I have to say, including my friends.

If u feel left out even in ur friend group u should have another group of friends or just someone who is not a bully . Friends r people that support u if they r not doing that than they r not ur real friends .
It will give you confidence to have a different set of people around u . You can make friends at some place you go to often . And if some one is not responding to u don’t make too much effort to talk to them . Interact with more n more strangers but need to understand there is good and bad experiences but they don’t define us . Be confident. Good luck
