I’m so sorry you’re going through this, it gets better I swear. Some of us get cursed with really bad anxiety as we’re growing up, and I don’t want to falsely diagnose your or anything but it sounds similar. Try to focus on the things you enjoy doing and the people you like being around, talk with someone you trust about this, especially if it gets worse. I wish you the best of luck and a big hug

You're really young, I know it is hard to take a step back from your situation and look at it from a different view, but try and understand that your entire existence right now is defined by flux and change.
You're growing, and it is a painful process. I remember feeling very similar to how you do at that age and venting on a site a lot like this one.
Nothing is permanent. I know that sounds cheesy but it is true.
Things that matter now, wont anymore in a few short years. So you might as well step out of your comfrot zone and ask for help and insert yourself into the dynamics that you want with the people around you.
Rejection is the worst thing that could happen, but guess what? That, too, wont matter anymore in a few short years.
Take a deep breath, exhale, and once you do you will feel stronger.
Right now are the training years, the practice years. The stakes are low, so you may as well throw yourself at anything you want to become good at and fail a thousand times, because failure is how we become successful; we learn a little from each one and the knowledge stacks until we know enough to win it all.
Pain is a deterrent for most. The fear of it alone will stop most from even trying.
If you can forge a working relationship with pain, and the pain inside you is very useful for creating such a bond, then you will be better equipped than the vast majority of people right off the bat.
You've got this. You can do this. You will be alright.
