I've never really had a solid friend group. I had one in middle to high school but that was it and it wasn't even big, just 3 of us. Nowadays, I'll be friends with people individually and those friendships feel real but the moment there's a group involved I don't fit. Everyone else seems to just click naturally and I can't seem to say interesting right things. It's not like people are mean to me either.

It sounds like you're feeling a bit on the outside when it comes to group dynamics, and that can be really tough, especially when you feel more comfortable in one-on-one situations. It's okay to feel this way; group settings can be challenging for a lot of people. Remember, it's not about saying the "right" things but being your genuine self. Sometimes, it takes a bit more time to find a group where you feel that natural click, just like how you've been able to develop meaningful individual frie

Well, it's hard not to notice it especially when I see groups of people who just have a fun and easy dynamic, and I've just never had that outside of those two people in high school. They all have so many people close and there for them. I just cannot click in a group like Idk what to say and when to say stuff so I fade and get ignored. I think I just don't stand out like maybe I am not interesting.

Model

It's completely understandable to feel that way, especially when you see others seemingly connecting with ease. It's hard not to compare our own experiences to what we see around us. But remember, what we see on the surface doesn't always reflect the whole story. Everyone has moments of feeling left out or unsure of themselves, even if it doesn't seem like it. Feeling like you fade into the background doesn't mean you're not interesting. It might just mean that you haven't found the right group

I've been telling myself that for years and it hasn't really changed anything. I've moved a couple times and it just caused me to not have any friends not even mentioning groups. I'm starting to think maybe it's not about finding the right group. Maybe it's about me. Like I said, maybe I am boring.

Model

I'm really sorry to hear you're feeling this way. Moving and having to find new friends all over again can be incredibly challenging and disheartening, especially when it feels like you're starting from scratch each time. It's natural to turn inward and question yourself in these moments, but being hard on yourself for the way things have turned out isn't fair to you. Your interests, your thoughts, and your companionship are valuable, even if you haven't yet found the right people who apprecia

I'm tired of trying. So exhausted by it. Every time I put myself out there and it doesn't work it makes me so sad and embarrassed. Now when I'm in group situations I can feel myself just shutting down. I think the trying has become more painful than just accepting I am just this.

Model

I hear how deeply tired and discouraged you feel, and it's completely understandable. Continually putting yourself out there only to feel like it's not working can be incredibly disheartening. It's okay to take a step back if the effort is becoming too much and causing you more pain than happiness. Sometimes, giving yourself permission to stop trying so hard and just be can relieve a lot of that internal pressure and allow you to find peace in your current state. It's also okay to feel sad and

Maybe you're right, who knows. What hurts is that I would love to be in a group. I'm not someone who wants to be alone it's just I end up like this. There's a difference between choosing to be alone and just never being chosen. I am trying to be gentle but it's taking forever.

Model

It sounds like you're carrying a lot of pain from feeling left out, and that's a really tough place to be in. The distinction you've made between choosing to be alone and feeling like you're never chosen is a poignant one. It highlights a deep longing for connection and belonging that's not being met, which is something many people can relate to, even if it doesn't always seem that way. Being gentle with yourself is a process, especially when you're dealing with feelings of rejection or lonelin
