I hate how people still comment "just learn how to make friends"

Omg thank you for this brand new life changing information.

Every single place I've ever been, every school or university, every workplace, every social club/society, literally every single one without fail, I have tried that. I HAVE TRIED THAT. I act normal and friendly and chatty, to the point I genuinely can't think of anything in my behaviour that would pick me apart from others in the group and within minutes, they will single me out as not a part of the group. Friend groups will form and every single one I try to join will immediately reject me.

The last time I thought I had a "friend" was on my year abroad. She was someone from my UK uni on the same course as me. In France we would hang out a couple times a week. The second we got back to the UK she immediately ditched me. Stopped replying to my messages, walked straight past me if I saw her in person, didn't invite me to her massive birthday party even though I lived a 10 minute walk away.

Genuinely if the solution was to just LeArN tO mAkE FrIeNdS then live some happily ever after where people accept and like me for the first time in my life, I WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT.
