Today, I overheard a large group of my friends and acquaintances making spontaneous plans to go see a movie that afternoon. I was the only person not invited. Normally I would have believed their excuse that they thought I was "sick at home", except I was sitting a few feet away the entire time. FML

ifeelsoloved tells us more.

I didn't have enough room to tell the full story, but yeah... I'm pretty shy :/ I can talk to strangers and people fine and introduce myself to people, and I like to think I'm a nice person to be around, but I hate "inconvieniencing people" so I was scared to go over and ask if I could come too cause I thought my presence would make things awkward and ruin it for everyone... yeah. My parents got mad at me too when I told them, but I'm just really socially awkward so that happens a lot. Also, they're just a really close group of friends with all the same classes, etc and I'm just sort of that weird outlier lol. Most of the people in the group were acquiantances who I talked to occasionally but weren't very close to, though there were a couple of friends I was closer with a couple years ago when neither of us really had friends then I am now. And honestly, those "friends" definitely use me and take more than they give; they come to me for a shoulder to cry on and a secret-keeper to rant to but don't really talk to me otherwise... I'm the last resort :( I definitely recognize that they aren't he healthiest relationships, and I would disassociate myself from them altogether, but I honestly don't have anyone else ;-; Better to have half-friends than no one, reputation wise... Plus, I'm transferring to a new school this year so yay for fresh starts! I'm just staying optimistic that I'll find some... more faithful friends I guess. Thank you to the people who posted nice messages, I honestly needed that :)

I'm sorry, OP! Are you in any clubs or extracurriculars at school? Or have you tried reaching out to kids outside of school? I'm not saying put yourself too out of your comfort zone, but if there are neighborhood clubs, organizations, sports teams, those may be a good place to start meeting new people. They'll have the same interests as you and you'll be working/playing/learning together. :)

New school, new start. Be hard to fit in right away. Just find one friend and become friends with their friends. I see kids everyday who just moved to this school and they dont do anything to help themselves find friends

Sounds a lot like me before college. I suggest you do what I did and consider a new school a completely fresh start. You can be who ever you want. And remember, "What you put up with, is what you end up with." If you don't want crappy friends, don't put up with crappy friends.

Sounds a lot like me. I mean, I am an outlier, But they don't really take advantage of me. They talk to me normally. I'm just not close enough to anyone to do thongs out of school

Join a club of some sort. I was shy myself in school, but lucked out in getting a few great friends... Granted, I didn't attend any clubs, but they're the easiest way to find people with similar interests. Also, it's a lot easier to talk with someone when you're working with them (this excludes in-class groupwork).

Try to be more.... Outgoing I guess you can say, when it comes to talking to people:) really. I think it's better to do that a few times and to learn what is good to say around people and what is not. Everything will work itself out in the end, no matter how awkward a moment is in the present.

Well at least you know their secrets so you can use it against them if needed. But it's nice that you're going to a new school. I wish you luck! I'm pretty much the same way as you are
