I don't understand why, I haven't had a single friend since childhood, not as a teenager, not as an adult. when I was in 12th grade, a boy moved to our class with whom we were supposedly friends, and we've been «friends» for three years now, but he never takes the initiative and is always with others. I never received anything from him, I always wrote to him to go play or hang out, but now I've stopped, and our chat is empty. he gave a new year's gift to everyone except me, even if I gave him a gift. he doesn't care about me, I'm really really upset. this reminds me of a situation when I was also trying to make friends with a boy from my class and he invited ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE FROM THE CLASS to his birthday except me. I've never felt so upset at that moment, maybe it even broke me, but now that I'm 20 and I still suffer from the same problem, I'm already starting to feel like some kind of hermit. I only communicate with my girlfriend and no one else. I don't understand why no one wants to be friends with me. I really don't do anything bad to anyone. I always take the initiative, I always help when I can. I've never said anything behind someone's back. I don't understand. I've suffered from loneliness all my life.
