The story

sometimes i rlly wonder if its just me or if im actually that bad to be around. im 17, i go to school every day jus like everyone else, but nobody ever notices im there. its like im invisible or somethin. i try makin friends, ive tried a million times. i talk to ppl in class, i join groups for projects, but every time i try it jus ends up awkward n weird. feels like nobody actually wants me there, they just deal wit me til they dont hav to anymore. nobody invites me to parties or hangouts or even jus to chill after school. i see all their pics online laughin and hangin out n it hits me hard every time that nobody thought of me. i rlly dont kno wat im doin wrong? is it cuz im quiet, or maybe not funny enough, or do i look weird or somethin? i jus wish somebody wud tell me why they dont like me. teachers always say dumb stuff like "just put urself out there" but they rlly dont get it. i am tryin, nd all it ever does is remind me how much nobody rlly likes me. even lunch sucks cuz theres never anyone who wants me around. most days i just eat by myself in some quiet corner hopin nobody sees how pathetic i am. sometimes i wish i cud just be someone else, somebody cooler, somebody ppl actually like bein around.

my parents keep askin me why i dont bring any friends home or hang out after school. wat am i sposed to say to them? "hey mom n dad, nobody actually likes ur son"? i kno they love me, but theyll never understand. theyll jus say im bein dramatic or tell me things will get better. but wat if they dont? wat if im jus stuck feelin this lonely forever? honestly, im tired of it. sometimes i lay awake at night thinkin bout wat its like to hav real friends—ppl who text u jus cuz they wanna talk, or ppl who actually care if ur ok. ive never rlly had that. its always jus been me. nd i try not to care but it hurts a lot, like rlly hurts. makes me wonder wat the point of even tryin is, if all it ever does is remind me how alone i am. sometimes i think bout jus givin up n acceptin that im probly meant to be alone, but deep down i guess i still hope maybe someday somebody might actually like me for who i am. even tho rite now that seems pretty impossible.

that must really feel heavy, but i think you might be seeing things a bit too black and white. sometimes people are just caught up in their own worlds n they don't notice what's right in front of them, not cuz they don't like you, but cuz everyone's dealing with their own stuff. social dynamics can be really tricky and it's not always as straightforward as it seems. maybe try finding groups or clubs that really align with what you're passionate about, cuz that can help build stronger connections with ppl who have similar interests. it's not necessarily about being the loudest or most outgoing, but maybe just finding the right niche where you feel comfortable n can be yourself. i know it can feel like a big deal now, but things do change over time. even though it feels tough now, it doesn't mean it'll always be this way. hang in there, keep being yourself, and remember that people often take time to truly see and appreciate the good qualities others have to offer. ☺️

hey, i totally feel ya on this, it's like some ppl just can't see the awesome person you are 😔; sometimes when i was in school, i had those days too where it felt like nobody noticed me or wanted to hang out. i remember sittin by myself at lunch thinkin if i was doin somethin wrong or if i just wasn't cool enough. but you know, sometimes it takes time for the right ppl to come around and see you for who you truly are. i learned that just by bein myself and not tryin to fit into some mold, the real ones who appreciated me eventually showed up. also, you never know who else might be feelin the same way too, just gotta keep bein open and puttin yourself out there, even if it's tough. stay strong 💪 and keep your head up, things have a way of workin out when you least expect it.

i get it, but honestly, maybe you're overthinking this a bit too much?? like, isn't everyone just struggling to find their place? school is tough, dude!! there's no denying that, but saying nobody likes you? that's a huge leap, don't you think?? you might be misreading the vibes, assuming the worst without knowing the full story. "just put yourself out there," you say that's dumb, but have you really given it a shot without setting yourself up for failure? people can sense desperation or anxiety, and it can create awkward vibes, right?? when i felt outta place back in the day, i decided to just chill and go with the flow, and it eventually paid off. why not try doing things you enjoy and let friendships happen naturally instead of forcing it?? you'll find your people sooner or later, just be patient and open to meeting different kinds of folks!!

dude, sounds like you're in your head too much with this invisibility stuff. honestly, high school social networking isn't always intuitive or simple. saying "nobody likes me" is quite an exaggerated absolution of your social circle, don't you agree? 😅 ever considered that maybe people are just preoccupied with their own chaotic teen lives and aren't deliberately excluding you? saying teachers don't get it is a cop-out. they're offering strategies based on experience, which isn't the same thing as ignorance. they say "just put urself out there" for a reason; social fatigue and awkward encounters aren't exclusive to you. diversifying your group activities can optimize your social potential without expecting a miraculous transformation overnight, alright? keep it real and don't psych yourself out by over-analyzing every interaction.

hey there, i totally hear you and feel where you’re comin from 😟, it’s like sometimes you do all the right things and it still feels like you’re invisible, right? that “put yourself out there” advice can feel like a tired cliché when you've tried all that and it isn’t workin; back when i was in school, i'd join clubs and project groups too, thinkin it'd help me really make connections, but sometimes it just doesn’t click. what you’re talkin about reminds me how it can feel like you’re bangin your head against a wall with social stuff. and when others don’t notice, it can really mess with your emotional equilibrium, huh? it’s tough not to take it personally, and it’s completely understandable to feel like you're missin the social algorithm somehow. hang in there, cuz sometimes finding just a few folks who really get you is what makes all the difference, even if it takes a while to find them. 🌟
