I'd say be open and friendly to everyone at school. Do things for others (when you do smth for someone you subconsciously start to like them more, cuz brain works this way and they also like you more obv), don't focus on feeling lonely, but on trying to make friends. Don't feel like you can't just talk to someone cuz they have their own friend group. Talk to people spontaneously, just about class, assignments or just compliment then
I think u shouldnt force yourself to be friendly with someone u dont feel comfortable around. I think...u should find a new hobby to do at school, something that u might be really interested about and when u are ready, friends will be there
Being alone but not lonely is actually still a good thing, dont force yourself to do anything you dont like (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Hiiii, it’s been over six months now and your advice really helped I ended up not forcing myself to be friends with the other people in my grade haha and stopped being friends with the ones that treated me differently (some other unpleasant things happened that I won’t go into) but either way being by myself really helped me get to know myself better (the things I like and things I don’t since I really forced myself to like other things to have a common interest) and eventually befriended two really amazing girls without having to mold myself to be likeable (๑•ㅂ•)و✧btw I know I don’t know you but I just felt the need to update after I saw this again (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Actually makes me tear up TT
I'm genuinely happy to hear that. Thanks for the update.
I have a few friends who I really enjoy spending time with but we don’t go to the same school and the people I hang out with at school are really draining to be around and very obviously treat me differently and there are no better options (people wise) and I genuinely don’t think I could handle being on my own at all ,and switching schools is not really an option since it’s not that long till I graduate anyway so I’m just trying to not let them get to me and focus on my grades and stuff but I don’t think it works anymore and it’s really making me question myself and making me think I’m unlikeable
