Struggling to Make Friends: Need Advice

I completely understand! Sometimes people judge me based on my looks and the way I look I think I look fine but sometimes people don't wanna be my friend. Unfortunately we can't change people's minds. However we can put ourselves out there because there's some people out there that I'm sure would love to be your friend! You just have to remain calm and cool and collected be honest and just be like for example. Hey I'm Fred (made up name) nice to meet you and then go from there. Sometimes people might not be the nicest and that's okay! You can find some really nice and good people who aren't mean :)

For me I always try and talk to other more introverted/shy people so I feel a little more understood and less overwhelmed. Unfortunately it requires a lot of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Its really hard but the more you push yourself the easier it gets. I was able to get a lot better but I relapsed due to the pandemic... Also making online friends is an option which could be more comfortable.

Sadly there is no easy solutuion, even with meds you will be a little uncomfortable in those situations. I know it can be scary, but right now the best you can do is find another person who makes it easier for you.
