So I ended up in class with people that I don't know. It passed 4 days since school started and I still didn't made any friends. All of my other friends are in another class and it kinda hurts me to see them having great time while I'm alone at lunch break and come in class my hands shaking and crying every day because i get overwhelmed. A lot of people tell me to swich classes but it's not easy because for that, in my school, you first need to send request to the teachers' council or director and they need to accept it but you need to have a good reason. I'm really having a hard time in school and I cry every day when i come home.I also ovethink too much..maybe it's too early to say anything but I know that I am never going to be fully comfortable with them. They try to small talk with me but they all just give bad vibes i don't know and when some of them turn around and just look at me I can just see them judging me and they always give like a fake smile. I'm starting to think that problem is in me because I don't really like to meet new people. I don't know I'm lost

When I started my junior year, all my friends from the previous year went to a different school altogether. I had to start all over again making new friends. For you, at least your friends are only in different classes from you. It sounds like you're an approachable person, with fellow classmates wanting to go over and chat with you. Give yourself time to adjust in a classroom with no familiar friends. Allow yourself to be open to new friendships. You might be really disappointed at the moment to be away from your friends, but try to see it as a chance to meet new people.

Even in different classes, you could still stay-in-touch with your friends. You might not have the same lunch breaks, but there are other ways to continue communicating with them. Give yourself and your fellow classmates time to adjust to each other's prescence. It might be just as difficult as it was for them to reach out to you and make connections, as the way you feel about them. I'd say give it at least a month's time. In the meantime, do try and not focus/worry too much about not being to make new friends.

We must not judge others, even if you think they are judging us. Bad vibes, fake smiles.. everyone have their own personalities, attitudes, manners, etc. We won't ever really understand the person, until we start to get to know them, spend time with them, and try to see things in their perspectives. All these require time, practice, and experience.

I know everything is easier said than done, but do try to just let yourself go. Allow yourself to be free from the thoughts that you and your friends are separated. Allow yourself to start fresh, make new friends in your current classes. Hang in there, you can do this!~
