Feel like I'm very out of place
When I try to connect with people, I feel like I am forcing myself to fit in or just trying to talk to people for the sake of talking to people. When I do connect with someone I eventually just feel eh about the connection from either just not being as connected as I thought, feeling too difficult from the person or just not in the right place or the right time. I find it difficult to make friends or have a healthy relationship with how I feel so alienated from the world

Many are in similar situations... when starting to talk to someone it is so superficial and frankly work to talk about basic things wondering if we fit ....as it feels we are not making a connection with others. It takes time to feel comfortable and being able to talk openly without judgement ... and many do not spend the time....
it is far more common to feel alone or alienated then what is portrayed in media as everybody has great best friends for life. There is no right place or right time to meet friends ....waiting for the "right" anything in life means we miss many opportunities to meet people.
friends seem fleeting as they are close in school or work but few keep the connection going if we part ways in work etc.
I feel like I’m destined to be alone forever because people treat me like I’m stupid.
