Why is it so fucking impossible to hang out with friends?

Seriously. In my entire life, I’ve hung out with friends 3 times. Ever. That’s it. Over the last year, I’ve been making a strong effort to hang out with friends. I regularly invite my friends out to do stuff, despite getting not a single yes in over 2 years. This year alone I’ve probably invited friends out over 50+ times. Not a single yes. A lot of the time I get ignored. On my birthday, i didn’t have anyone who even wanted to come I don’t feel like it should be so difficult. After all, I regularly hear my coworkers talking about stuff they did together. Hanging out and playing video games. Of course, I’m not a part of these plans, and I never have been. Over this summer I made a goal to do one social thing with a friend/aquintance. I’ve made 20+ plans so far and I haven’t gotten a singular yes. I’m going off to college soon. If I can’t hang out with friends after 50+ attempts, will it ever happen in college? Will I have people to play video games with, drink alcohol and do drugs with, just spend social time with? Will I go on a date? Will I ever get my first kiss? I probably sound melodramatic, but considering my complete inability to hang out with friends, this is a very realistic possibility. Is so fucking frustrating to pour so much effort into my friends and get nothing back.
