Why Do Friends End Up Turning On Me/Hating Me?

I've always struggled with friendships, since I was a kid. Teachers used to defend me because I was the quiet, straight A student who always tried helping others where I could. I couldn't and still struggle to say no but it got so bad that at a school camp the teacher had to remove me from a specific room with girls because she heard them gossiping about me and wouldn't repeat what they said.

I've noticed that whenever friends flip on me, it's never one person at a time, it's like they recruit other people (it's always a group. always). In 2024 I went through the hardest time in my life (Mom's health took a turn for the worst and she's been incapacitated ever since requiring caregivers which has now taken center stage in my life) - my friends in the neighbourhood flipped on me (it shocked me because they're men, 1 gay but still... men and I always experienced this from women). I don't know what I keep doing wrong. I was shy growing up but it's not as bad, it's still there but I force myself to go whenever I'm invited out, I participate in all the group activities, and I've always been told I notice even the smallest of things and make people feel seen.

I have a Libra Sun in 12h (I've always thought it was 11h) and whenever friends flip on me, they ALWAYS gossip about me, some people come back to tell me, sometimes I hear it myself, but it never sounds like they ever liked me. So I don't understand what do I do wrong? How do I repel people? I try to be respectful and considerate of everyone at all times. Why do my friends end up hating me?

I tested positive for HSV type 1 and I want to die

I'm 27 this year and have always been careful and picky. The one time I chose to "homie hop" I was never the same after that. I've always had acne prone skin and it got better as I got older but I went to the lab yesterday for tests (I go every 3 months) and I knew that the breakout I was having wasn't acne and surprise surprise... HSV type 1 came back positive. I'm gutted and embarrassed. I can't believe I need to live with this forever and tell people (I won't so this is where my abstinence journey begins). I just feel so irresponsible and stupid. I've always been so eager to show a new partner my results - I genuinely don't know how to handle this. I've been crying all morning. Maybe I'm uneducated on this but I know it's incurable.
