Having no friends from the beginning, are you the same?

Hi...
Well, first of all my academic life is kind of successful and I don't really have money issues. I just literally have no friends. I was always bullied at school because I am different and my parents are pretty abusive. Lately it has became pretty difficult for me to focus as I always, stupidly, try to talk to people who, in the end, ignore me. I have no life outside studying and its starting to tear me to pieces and affecting my academic progress. I think like I am being torn apart as the sensation I get are constant and unbearable.

I wish I had at-least one genuine friend who would really like my company... How about you? Do you try to coop with it or no?

As a kid, I always had friends. But it did not come naturally to me. It took a lot of effort on my part, and still does. I'm not a social person. But my mother is a social butterfly and felt it was important that I had friends, so, I did.

I found it is easier to get to know people by asking them questions.
Show interest in them. Leave yourself out of it until they start asking. Talk to the quiet ones. The awkward ones are always up for getting to know someone new, but if they are not they will tell you. Sometimes directly.

I have more acquaintances than genuine friends .

I have just a handful for which I feel privileged.

Have you given any thought to the fact that you may be trying to befriend the wrong sort of ppl?

Having common interests outside of study is always a good start 🍎
