I feel like I don’t have enough friends
I started high school in September and I don’t feel like I have enough friends or that we’re close enough. I know it’s only been 2 months and I have 3 amazing friends in my class, but I still feel as though my social life is lacking. I am part of a friend group but most of them are in the same class so I don’t spend that much time with them and I feel pretty left out. I actually feel left out a lot. I’m not introverted, but it’s hard for me to get close to other people. I hate physical touch and I just can’t bring myself to talk about things that concern me. And what sucks the most is that there’s these really nice people that I’d like to get closer to and I don’t know how. And there’s this one girl that managed to get in that friend group already. I just wish I was like her. I know my mentality is *** up, but I have no clue how to fix it.

Hiii theree. I hear ya, it can be quite challenging adjusting to high school. Starting a new chapter in your life can be overwhelming, and making new friends and connect with other people can be really tough.
Comparing yourself to others can be hit to our confidence, but remember, you have your own unique qualities and over time you might find people who will appreciate and value you for who you are.
Be patient with yourself and give yourself time to grow. It's okay to have ups and downs during this process.
You don't have to face this alone, you got a whole community jere to support you. You got this, okay? I believe in your ability to get through this 💜
tysm!
