I’m sorry this sounds defeatist. If you look at my other post here I hope it’s ok it make one again. But I tried to do something like an event. I joined activities in school when I was a student and I didn’t make friends. This time I tried talking to people but I again didn’t make friends. And I’ve been to this event with the same people 2 times before. I literally went up and said hey to them and they kind of scattered. It made me so sad because I’m already down. I think I have an untreated sinus infection or some infection and my doctor was saying he thinks it’s dental. But I ended up finding an ent and I can’t get a hold of the office because my hours. I feel like a mess. I was crying all day yesterday because I felt alone and was dreading this event. Not really close to my parents but they’re saying I should sign up for like Pilates or an activity. I had to leave for a bit to cry because I just feel down. I stopped being friends with my best friends (2) randomly they just stopped caring. Since then I’ve had acquaintances but everyone has more important people than me.
I know I’m not the center of the world but I feel emotionally I’m at a low/ I don’t wanna say my lowest and jinx it. I think I also need therapy because I’m too sad over this all and the health worry is making me shake. My family has been calling me crazy/ especially my dad’s side.

You are not crazy. Don’t listen to these hateful and uninformed people.
You can always call 988 in the US for help and support regarding feeling low. Especially if you ever start to wonder what it would be like if you weren’t here any longer. Lots of people go through these awkward stages at different points in life. Therapy is a good idea. It can provide a
safe space to explore these concerns and others.
Hang in there, friend! Hug.
I’m so sorry OP. I know you are struggling. Your story is exactly what I hear from my teen daughter. It can be so exhausting and painful to be a social, introvert personality without a close tribe of friends.
Don’t give up trying new social situations. Libraries, community centers, classes, volunteering. Find something you love to do individually in a group setting and see what develops ❤️🩹
This sounds just like me OP. I try my best to join clubs at my school or just talk to new people. But it never really works. I am lucky to have a small group of friends, consisting of me and two other people. Lost one friend currently. 🙁 You aren’t crazy, OP. You aren’t alone in this either! You can try volunteering at places like the library or even the YMCA if you have one.
