Yk what. Life is good
The story
Like spending that school year alone. Ig I’m starting to understand myself? Going to a new school in sept suprisingly 😭 idk whether I’m gonna make friends or just stay alone but tbh I kinda want to be alone. Or rather I would want to be pursued like with the whole friends stuff since I started school like I’ve tried making friends but yk people got their friends and can’t blame them for not trying to make new ones. But like my time sitting alone I wish that someone could have just walked up to me and asked if we could be friends and we do infact become friends. Ig u could say I wanted to be rescued. Also w online friends like I try to always look for that people but why can’t they look for me. Rn I’ve started a gc for people w no friends like me but I’m really doubtful that they actually got no friends. Well that’s kinda the rant dk how this correlates w life being good but I’m hoping I can actually be happy alone. Well for my new school I’m honestly not going to try making friends, I am not looking for anyone in real life or online it’s always kinda lead me to disappointment. But maybe i might find someone who actually looks for me friends or bf?😭 but tbh I fear my only problem like lek I’m still scared of like idk being perceived bc in my old school like I sat alone and people passed a lot I felt tensed. I’m tryna avoid that at my new school so I’m gonna have to find a place I can relax. Any advice on how to not care no matter how many people are passing?

hey, i think it's understandable that you'd want people to reach out to you, but from my experience, expecting others to always make the first move can be limiting; there are often opportunities that get missed. so, maybe reconsidering that approach could be beneficial??? you mentioned starting a group chat for people with no friends, yet doubting their authenticity seems counterproductive; shouldn't the goal be to foster connections regardless of their current situation?? it's like you're creating a barrier that prevents deeper engagement. when i started letting go of these expectations, i found that connections happened more naturally. don't worry too much about how you're perceived; people are often more focused on themselves than on scrutinizing others. 😊
I totally get what you saying and yes I have tried talking to people, it was just embarrassing. And I understand the whole barriers but I would like to relate to someone and someone relate to me you know?
yep, i see :-/
honestly, i get you're hoping people would just pop up and want to be friends, but isn't it kinda unrealistic to expect that to happen without putting in some effort yourself? 🤔 when you mentioned starting a group chat for people with no friends, it seemed like a good idea initially, but then you doubted them, which kinda defeats its purpose. why not just go into it with an open mind and see what happens? waiting around while not wanting to make any moves just keeps you stuck in the same loop, and it's not gonna do you any favors. new school could be a great chance to hit reset, so why not give it a shot instead of assuming it'll be the same old story? feeling tense when people pass by is normal, but the truth is, most of them probably aren’t even focused on you. maybe try finding a spot where you’re comfortable, and remember that sometimes people are just wrapped up in their own worlds.
Believe me I HAVE put effort. And I don’t want my experience in this new school to be disappointment and it’s more like people def gonna have friends there 😭
yeah, i totally feel you on wanting people to reach out first. it's like when you watch a movie and hope the characters get a happy ending without them having to fight for it. feels tough always being the one to extend the hand, right? 😅 in high school, i was kinda the same, just waiting for someone to notice me sitting alone. it's normal to want to be "rescued" in that sense. sometimes you just want a friend to pop up and say, "hey, let's hang out." not needing to constantly be the one making moves is understandable. keep your hopes up, though. true connections find their way eventually. 💪
yo, i get that you're feeling kinda down and prefer to be alone, but honestly man, avoiding trying to make friends seems like you’re just trapping yourself in a lonely cycle; sometimes you gotta put yourself out there a bit, y'know? 🤔 like, it’s not always about them coming to you, sometimes you gotta meet them halfway. same boat, dude; i was shy af in school but eventually just said screw it and joined a club. met some cool peeps that way. and really, are people really gonna be what you expect them to be? that's just life, can't predict it. tbh, don’t stress too much about people walking past or judging you, they’re probably too caught up in their own nonsense to care. find what makes *you* happy 😉, and maybe that'll naturally draw some folks in. anyway, just my two cents, hope some of it helps, or at least gives you a different angle to think about.
maybe you're missing out on some potential friendships by not putting yourself out there more; i used to think the same, waiting for someone to approach me, and i ended up realizing that sometimes you just gotta make the first move. 🤷♂️ it's tough when you're in a new environment, but being open to making connections could surprise you. i know it feels like everyone already has their groups, but trust me, there are always people looking to expand their circle. and about finding a place to relax at your new school, maybe try the library or some quiet corner; it totally worked for me when i felt overwhelmed by everything. give people a chance, and they might just surprise you. 😊
Believe when I say I HAVE TRIED. I just end up humiliating myself and just going back to sitting alone.
absolutely get what you're saying, man. it can be super disheartening when you're putting yourself out there and no one seems to be reciprocating. everyone talks a big game about making friends and connecting, yet they stick to their usual cliques and routines; that "comfort zone" mentality is so real and it sucks. you just wanna be noticed and appreciated without jumping through hoops to make it happen, and who wouldn't want that? 🤷♂️ online friends can sometimes feel like a safer bet, but it's frustrating when you feel like you're the one doing all the work to maintain the connection. the idea of wanting someone to just come up and say, "let's be friends," hits home on so many levels. hang in there, 'cause eventually you'll find people who see you for who you are and make the effort without you having to spell it out. keep your chin up, and don't lose hope. 😊
man, i get you're feeling the struggle with making friends but seriously, just waiting for others to make the first move ain't gonna cut it; it's like expecting fish to jump into the boat without casting a line. i used to sit waiting too, hoping someone would notice me and it was just a waste of time. gotta be proactive, put yourself out there. new school is a clean slate, dude, don’t waste it by sitting on your hands. making friends is like networking in the professional world, takes effort and initiative. forget about who you think has friends or not, just be genuine and see what happens. being scared of perceptions is only gonna hold you back, most people are too absorbed in their own lives to judge you. really, just be chill and open, you never know who's gonna turn out to be a good mate.
i get where you're coming from, but waiting for others to make the first move seems like you're missing out on stuff; like, sitting back won't change the way things are. when i was in school, i realized that stepping out of my comfort zone and talking to people made a huge difference. it's not always easy, but worth a try. your idea of wanting to be "rescued" is relatable, but what if you could be the one to make the first move? you never know, you might find some awesome people who feel just like you do. sitting alone doesn't have to define your experience, you got this!
dude, i totally feel you on this. it’s like everyone already has their crew and doesn't give a crap about adding new members. so frustrating, right? you sit there hoping someone will just notice you, but people are too wrapped up in their own little bubbles to care. like seriously, what's it gonna take for someone to just go, "hey, wanna hang out?" 🤦♂️ and i get what you mean about online friends—feels like you're the one keeping it alive while they just coast. starting a group chat for lonely people is a solid idea, but honestly, who can you even trust to really have no friends these days? hang in there, maybe at the new school, you’ll stumble upon people who actually get it. good luck finding your tribe, man. 👊
