I’m so awkward that even extroverts are awkward around me

[dikhed]

I just sat alone and waited for an extrovert to adopt me.

Fun fact: This wasn't in your recommended, you searched for this

[nameswitch]

The fact that I searched up “how to make friends” really shows how lonely I am. And reading other people’s experiences reassures me that I’m not the only one who’s struggling. I regret not being social during my middle/highschool days so much. I’m quiet in class, stays at the school library during lunch just to listen to music, then straight home. That’s it. No matter how hard I try to communicate/ engage in a conversation, it always ends short. I don’t know what to say/ talk about and it makes the other person awkward. *sigh*

Is it just me or do yall also prefer being alone but then at the end of the day you wish you interacted and made friends

The term "be yourself" doesn't really work anymore. The reason you don't have any friends is *because* you're yourself.

The fact that I'm not the only one who searched "how to make friends" makes me feel a little bit better tbh.

The saddest part is no one's even trying to be friends with you...

[daddy-skcf]

I admire people who can just say hi to random people and start a conversation :')

Be careful who you call your friends, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

I'm afraid to talk with my classmates. I don't really have a topic to talk about with someone who I usally rarely talk to. Additional to that I'm afraid to leave an bad impression.

[pissylittlegirl]

I'm just gonna sit quietly in the corner and wait for an extrovert to grab me and toss me into their group lol 😂

All I want is just a friend, not a lover, not a foe. A friend :c ... It's sad to always feel alone.
