I feel so incredibly unwanted. Unwanted and unloved. I’m 22M and go to university and I have no friends up here, I have a job but most of my coworkers can’t even be bothered to say hi to me when they come in. I see all of my past friends from high school and even some girls that I have an interest in posting pictures of themselves going out with their group of friends, traveling, having a good time... I have none of that. I try so incredibly hard to be friendly and talk with people to try to make friends with them but it ends up unreciprocated to me. I’m not very introverted, I’m a mix between an intro and an extro so it’s not like I’m dead silent to people; I’m always trying to talk with someone and be friendly.

I feel so incredibly lonely. I feel like I have no one. Am I doing something wrong? I view myself as such a nice person, the kind of person I would want to be friends with. I’m tearing up just writing this. 

I’m always the one messaging old friends to see how they’re doing but nobody ever texts me to check up on me. I feel like a waste of life.
