I Feel Like An Alien Among Humans

@YoungPoet345 I know, but sometimes I feel awkward for trying to hang with new friends because they have a ton of others they want to have lunch with. I offer to tag along but I found out that some of her friends are former friend groups who made me feel like I'm some psycopath and that I'm creepy just because I "invite myself" when it was my understanding that as a friend, I should have an invite to their birthdays if they came to mine. But that's just me

@Compound I have felt the same way at times. I was not popular in high school. I felt awkward in large groups of people I didn’t know. Still do. Tons of people stabbed me in the back. I have one friend from high school who I still talk to regularly and make an effort to get together with. My understanding is a lot of the people I was around just weren’t my kind of people. When you’re in high school, everything socially seems really important and pressing.


In the end though, your character and your choices define your future. Not your social status. People would call me creepy for being friendly or doing normal things a friend would do. They’d say I’m weird and/or annoying. Then I left and I found somewhere great to go start over in college. Made new friends and gained a lot more confidence. My best friends in high school stabbed me in the back for popularity and ended up dropping out and settling for a minimum wage job. I was one of the least popular, and I’m finishing my degree with a 3.9 GPA. Have plenty of friends and a loving significant other. Lots of options. I am kind and it has gotten me places. You have a lot of potential. The way you treat people matters.

Thanks
