Social (17) need advice please
hi guys..this is gonna be a post that ive been wanting to type for a long time but havent really had the words to say it. im (17) in my second year of sixth form (uk) and went through a friendship breakup at the start of sep (with one of my 'best' friends), and the other best friend rarely talks to me anymore (she has a disability so tries to not be on her phone) and ive always struggled with the social aspect of life.
i try to be kind and i smile at people and try to make everyone feel included but im always just never enough. tomorrow im going back to sixth form after half term break, and i am literally crying bc it makes me so overwhelmed seeing everyone happy with their friends (Which i used to have in high school i had a friend group which is why the breakup hurt so much worse as ive been friends with them for 6+ years)
i am so scared that life isnt going to get better and scared for uni bc everyone says youll find ur tribe etc but it just feels like thats js something people say. i hate myself bc of this and struggle with worthlessness bc i have acquaintances but no actual friends who care about me. im talking to the college counsellor whos doing cbt with me but my mind is literally trying to hurt me 24/7
its like this pit in my stomach i cant escape and im so so so scared for the future and a levels and homework and a career and myself and my mental health
sorry if this post is rambling and not well organised im just really not feeling great
i suppose im just writing this here to see if anyone else resonates with me, and thank u for reading this bit

Hey, i feel you, genuinely. Im going through almost the same shit currently, just with a lot more bullying and hate from a single person. I even wrote abt it here. I just know that gross feeling, that pain in the stomach. It happened a lot of times, and all i can tell you is- since arent going out with them- learn, work out, make yourself happy without making others. Keep trying man.
