I feel unlovable

I've recently relocated to a new city and it's been quite the experience. Trying out different social activities, you'd think it'd be easy to make some friends, right? But for me, forming meaningful connections feels like an uphill battle. I see others around me bonding effortlessly while I just... don't fit in! This persistent sense of isolation makes me feel as if I'm inherently unlovable. Maybe there's something wrong with me. 😞 I've tried clubs, meetups, even those online apps people swear by. Nothing works!!! Do I have some sign on my forehead that says 'stay away?' 🤔 It's disheartening.Maybe I'm just not meant to click with others like everyone else does; It’s hard not letting this negatively impact my self-esteem when every attempt at socializing seems like another failed mission. People chat casually all around me, yet when it's my turn... silence or awkwardness follows. What's it gonna take to finally find my tribe in this bustling city?! Am I destined to be surrounded by people but still feel utterly alone?! 😟 Everyone assures me that it'll get better over time but how much more time is needed? How long do you wait before accepting you're simply unlovable?
