FIRST FRIEND GROUP ALERT!!!

A summary for those not bothered to read: I have integrated into a new friend group but im finding it hard to click with all of them. My idea is to build friendships bind with each and every one individually, or when in groupcalls/meetings, i should just interject which is way out of character for me:)) thanks for reading

Im just going to blab , hopefully it'll be at least entertaining for some of you.

Lets begin by semi introducing- there are 8 main people in this friend group, and some of them knew eachother from primary. I however have not, I joined in year 9 so im lagging in both friends and British experience ( i come from africa). In year 9-10, I had one main friend who I stuck to like glue, she helped me manage my first two years but unfortunately she has left the school leaving me alone for my final year of secondary school .

I have a friend from my science lessons and asked if I could hang with her. I went to the beach with the group and also seemed not to click with anyone except the girl and recently she acts like she doesnt like me. Another girl in the group sometimes talk over me, looks at every one but me when talking to people- small stuff. I know these people are really good with other people but for some reason not with me.

I've lied- I have a theory why they dont like to be around me but I am finding it hard to improve this part of my self. Simply put, I act anti social. For example, they group call alooott, and I've joined a couple of times, but find myself never really knowing what to say. This happened irl with them too, I can easily make convo if its me and another person, but the second someone joins us, i run out of words to say. I dont know if I should focus on building friendship bonds with them individually or just try to speak louder even if i acts out of character

Here's my stereotype (sorry if im using that word wrong, I mean this is what people think of me at a glance, I think) - quiet, kind

So basically no personality, ugh this sucks. I dont know how to fix this:)))thanks for reading

New friend group

So my closest friend in school is moving to a different country, and next year is our final year in school. I have another closish friend but shes in a friend group, which I've never had experience in before. This summer we've hung out and I know everyone there on a 'classmate" level, so every time I talk I just seem out of place.

Here's my plan: A)1. Find a way to have one on one convos with them 2. Find common ground to talk about 3. Hope they include me more in the group

B) just sit in the corner of our hang outside and chip in occasionly.

Another point to add, they do alot of group calls, which I've joined once but realised I literally couldn't find anything to add to what they were saying, I was afraid that I would be intentionally ignored if I spoke up.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY TIPS TO NAVIGATE FRIEND GROUPS, PLEASE HELP.

Christianity misplaced

So I heard that if you want your freedom from strict parents you should slowly start disappointing them. Eg. If you dont want to go to church then don't go. My problem is that my church isnt really a church but a bunch of family friends getting together via zoom every Sunday. Im part of the sunday school and I generally have a bad sleeping schedule as I am on school break. I dont enjoy waking up at 9 every sunday and holding my self to these higher morals (no drinking etc even tho I like drinking) and am seriously thinking of how to put a stop to it.

I've tried telling my mom that I dont want to be a Christian (she is a the most Christian person i know and is often 'blessed by God' so obviously telling her that disheartened her a bit) . After I told her, she reminded me that one of the sunday teachers has been helping me full in some forms(like shes a reference for jobs etc, someone i can comfortably rely on and her family are major Christians) and that the woman might not be compelled to help me out again. So the next sunday i joined the zoom call again. I feel like I will disappoint so many if my Christian friends and family but I've tried being a Christian but its not sticking. I can barely tell you any other bible verse than 'jesus wept' and I can't even tell you where that is from.
