The problem with me is that I dislike/don't connect with a lot of my classmates. There are people that I find likeable or tolerable, but I don't click with them. Whether it be they don't have the same interests as me, they're too loud for me, or some other factor.
Another thing that makes it so difficult for me to make friends is that I have had bad experiences with friendships in the past, like them being toxic or abandoning me.
I also just flat out hate myself and I'm too unstable to maintain friendships. You see, I have BPD, and one symptom of BPD is identity disturbance, meaning, I don't have a set sense of self (this is a really watered down definition, do your own research. And because I dont have a stable sense of self I have NO CLUE who I am. It affects the way I dress, talk, behave, and it even affects my interests sometimes. And another symptom of BPD is seeing things in black and white -all or nothing. Which means that I see the bad and the good but I can't see the in-between or see both at the same time, which can affect my views and opinions on a person, which makes it really, REALLY HARD to keep friendships.
Help me.

I joined many clubs this year but it doesn't helped me to find someone who I'd be really close to. I just have friends, but not like that. We just know each other and have some little conversations. My mom thinks that i have many friends now, but I was never telling her truth. I'm lonely. And i always was, i guess. I had many awkward situations. everyone around me has someone too close and even friend groups that I'm not in. One time at school, me and my classmate accidentally hit our heads to each others and it hurt my cheek badly, but other girls only thought about the other one and when i told them that my chin was hurting, they don't even say something and leave.
Why is that i can understand anyone, even that girls i was talking about; but NOBODY CAN UNDERSTAND ME. WHY IS THIS WORLD SO UNFAIR.
I dont know why I'm writing this here. i hope you will understand. and i hope you with find someone who with be the person you always dreamed for.

I've been shy and socially awkward my whole life but I always had my beautiful outgoing silly younger sister to include and make me feel accepted. She made me feel like the most special person and our favorite thing to do was sing at karaoke on the weekends. She died 3 weeks ago and I know I'll never find another friend like her. I think I may be lonely for the rest of my life but I was so lucky I had such a wonderful sister and best friend as her. I'll miss her everyday for the rest of my life. I love you Erin fly high until we sing together again!

Does anyone else feel that it's hard to find friends in a society that is focused on driving towards big dreams? Or maybe it's just the city I live in. I feel like I keep meeting ppl that want to talk about owning a big house, getting married, having kids, or owning material things. I just wanna meet ppl who like big gardens, trying new sports, and maybe travel to europe to visit some castles.

I loveeee talking to people. I think people are awesome but I get really anxious. I get more anxious the more I want to become somebodys friend and its kinda hard bc my mind goes blank and my personality becomes boring. Im trying my best to not let my anxiety from taking over because I just want to talk to everyone and get to know everyone and be friends with everyone.

I think I'm trying too hard to make friends. I act too nice and I open up so easily people dont think theres more things about me. And I try to entertain them so much. From now on I will not care about friendship and just talk to people if they talk to me. I'm bored of getting ignored and giving every good thing I can to them.

I have been the new kid a lot. From mi experience I recommend you try to talk and find things to start a conversation with someone for example if you don't know where your class is you can go to a friend group and ask them to open a convo. It's just about being confident and talkative

Please. I'm struggling so much in high school. I'm too scared to go to school and home alone, I'm scared to talk to people because they seem super intimidating to me. I feel like they wouldn't like my humor at all and stuff. I don't know what to do.

Im kind of socially awkward too but ironically I hate talking to socially awkward people. Hard to keep up with a conversation and talking to them unlike other people I know.
