I am an introvert

I'm so socially awkward with everyone. I'm the type of person that doesn't make anyone laugh and just make conversation awkward. I've always been shy and just had one or two friends I'm not so close to. But when I got in high school I didn't know anyone there. Now I have no friends, I eat alone. It's not that bad but I just feel like a loser sometimes. Even in middle school the few friends I had stopped talking to me when they got in high school. Plus everyone thinks I'm weird. In middle school no one knew my name. They just identified me as the girl who draws and is always alone. I was not even bullied but sometimes some kids would make fun of me. They took my bag and put it somewhere I couldn't reach it. I don't understand why some people hate me for being weird. What's wrong with it? I'm not that affected by loneliness since I distract myself with games and videos. But it still hurts hearing people calling me a weirdo behind my back or not even remembering who I am after being in the same class with me for years. And I have to lie to my parents and tell them I enjoy school and that I have friends to hang out with.

Thanks for sharing, that took courage. Being awkward doesn’t make you broken; it’s just your way of moving through the world. Drawing and loving games/videos are not flaws, they’re quiet superpowers. People who call you “weird” are usually saying they don’t understand you, not that you’re less valuable. I’m sorry, they made you feel invisible or took your bag, that was mean. If you ever want to vent or swap awkward-conversation survival tips, I’m here. You’re not a loser; you’re a real person with depth, and that matters.
