Hey everyone. I'm 19. I spent a good chunk of my past year trying to make friends. When I made friends and invited them the group hangouts, they stopped talking to me but made better friends with the other people I invited them to hangout with to. I'm getting increasingly depressed and start giving up on finding people I can connect with.
It seems that everyone is getting the good vibes with me. No one has a problem with me, some even compliments me after hangouts to others but not directly to me. Why won't they actually try to connect to me? Why is no one reaching out first? I feel like I'm giving out all this energy and attention to others, they shower in it then I get left behind. Why's this?
I feel actually jealous of my partner, I feel like she's thriving in every aspect and I'm just stuck in a puddle of mud. What am I doing wrong?
