Basically, I’m having a hard time fitting in at my new school. I’ve never been very social, I’ve always been shy and introverted, but I can open up when I already have friends around. The problem is that, for the first time, I’m at a school where I don’t know anyone at all, and it’s been really challenging.
A lot of people in my class already knew each other, so it’s easier for them to form connections. It’s way easier to approach others when you already have a friend by your side, and since I don’t have that, I feel left out. Groups are starting to form gradually, and I’m not part of any of them yet.
I don't know how to interact and I keep thinking about what others might think, and I end up keeping to myself. From their perspective, this might make me seem unfriendly or disinterested, even though that’s not the case. Meanwhile, everyone else seems way more outgoing than I am, I see a lot of cool people that I would like to be friend but I can't interact.
