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 #relationships source
