I hear you. It's never a good feeling to feel like everybody's temporary friend. On top of it, most people don't want to invest their time in somebody new. And most of those that do are... cult members.
Trust me. I know. I moved 1,000 miles away. I changed my religion. I changed my political views. I redefined myself. But for me, finding new friends is a challenge. Perhaps it drove me to seem needy. And looking back, that repelled most people from me.
Finding new friends on my own is a challenge. My wife is better at it than me. But on my own, I'm sure i repel people. Albeit people nonchalantly say 'thank you for serving' most don't want to get close to a disabled Military Veteran.
Yea, i repel people. I don't know why. I clothe myself nicely. I have good hygiene. And I take great pride in my table manners.
I don't have the answer why people like us repel others. But i can relate.
