Fellow introverts. I hope you guys are surrounded by many friends and loved ones. Cause I sure as hell am NOT 😭🙏
The title was mostly satire. I ofc have people that care about me so dw.
I’m 16, during elementary school I clearly remember hanging out with people pretty often, and even liking it. I was never the one to make plans I would usually just get invited by my close friends. Although some of the last few years of elementary I slowly started viewing it as a chore.
Flash forward to now, out of elementary, new class, new people. My old friends still go in the same school as me. Although none are in the same class as me except for who I would say is my closest friend. I’ve tried hanging out with these people many times before, but I would never genuinely think it was worth it once I get back home.
These days nobody really invites me out because I would always decline. Nobody truly knows me except for the people before middle school (i think it’s called middle school?? Not quite sure). Last time i hung out with anyone was 6-7 months ago. I was sleeping over. Probably the worst time of my life. It just felt awkward, and boring. All these years without hanging out with friends has made me dry as a bone to talk to outside of small talk. I wouldn’t say I’m shy or bad at socializing either. I just can’t relate to people anymore. The only thing keeping me from sitting inside doing absolutely nothing during school breaks is football. I get to play, and I don’t need to try too hard socializing because it’s way easier when there’s a group of people. Don’t even get me started on two on two projects, or when the teacher says we can sit with whoever we want, and i just end up sitting in my seat like a loser
I’ve pretty much accepted my fate atp, but I can’t possibly be the only one dealing with this. Can’t wait till high school comes around. I’d probably have nothing to look forward to during breaks then.
I’ll answer any questions if I got time.
