Friendh
Hello, I'm new here and just want to vent and seek some advice because I feel a bit lost. I find it easy to make friendships, but I struggle to maintain them. I genuinely try my best to show my interests and my extroverted side, but many people perceive me as "weird," "embarrassing," or even "sarcastic." I have a sarcastic sense of humor, but I truly don’t mean any harm and never make fun of anyone’s height, weight, or traumas—it's just light-hearted teasing. Unfortunately, it often seems like people take it the wrong way. When I try to be quiet, I feel left out and ignored, and it seems like others don’t want to converse with me, which makes me feel boring and plain. I have a lot to say about my interests, which include watching documentaries, studying human behavior, and learning new hobbies like crocheting. Despite my efforts to connect with others, I constantly feel like I'm never enough—never funny enough, never relatable enough, and it frustrates me. I feel like I can't have genuine friendships and I have to always be the one who puts in the work and if I don't then the other person talk to me. Does anyone else feel this way? How we're u able to get out of this loop and how did u meet your new friends?
