...See more To get to the point, i started noticing thateven my closest and longest friendships feel quite shallow and it feels like i cant truly talk to them about me, or i guess be myself. I kinda started realizing that im having a hard time really showing people who i am, whenever i talk to peeps I always am walking on eggshells, like they just annonced they're dog died or something, I kinda respond with what someone would want to hear than something organic i'd say. I don't know how to make deep connections, and im just way too scared ig to show ppl who i am, it was way easier IRL to do that, but even so i still had peeps i felt i was walking eggshells with. Now online its just im scared and i never really know who or what my personality is. How do my peers do it? They can be as loud, bubbly, and rule breaking as they want sometimes but they always have a friend group to chill and go to the mall with and i wish i had that. To be honest even the teachers let them get off with stuff though mostly because they never listened but sometimes i just wish i had the type of fun stuff "besties" have. I kinda thought a long time ago i'll never be them and i dont understand how or what made them have friends so fast, its been like this since i was in elemantary. Also doesnt help how i always felt like an outcast.

...See more I am a black girl and sometimes i wish i had a space with friends like me, i moved to a place where i wasnt the only black kid and i still feel like the odd one out the bunch. I mean i made a friend who was just the same as me so i guess thats not my problem, I guess its moreso i feel like i want to have more friends like that and its been hard to find them given our certain circumstances. My BSU club meets once a month so ill gather more friends there, but rn i feel like i want to speak out and share my experiences and rant in this one thing im in but i dont feel like i fit in or can. I just wanna find my friend group so i dont have to be an odd one out racially anymore.
