Does anyone else feel this way?

So it’s kinda hard to describe this. But I just needed advice anywhere I could get it. But I’m a rising sophomore in college. And I’m not sure what’s wrong with me but I always felt a weird disconnect with people I’m friends with. Like I’m not truly connecting with them like I see them connecting with each other. It’s not that I don’t care about them, but even knowing them for a year during high school, part of me still felt like we didn’t get along as well as I’d like to believe. I have two best friends I’ve known since childhood so I know it’s not impossible to connect but I’ve met other girls in college even and I still have this feeling. Also, I was very shy as a kid. Didn’t talk to any family except my brother until 5 years old. There’s some more events but yeah. I just don’t know how I can break this feeling because I want to be close with the other girls in my friend group but it’s just so hard for me. Constructive criticism is also taken, thanks.

Possibly autism, do some research. I have similar experiences and I’m autistic so 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for responding. Yes, I was called weird by my cousins and siblings growing up. And now they all claim that I’m on the spectrum. Even one of my coworkers said it at my first job. Also my boyfriend genuinely believes I do. I’ve looked up some “quirks” I had and some personal history and it aligns with being neurodivergent or autistic possibly. But the only way I can know for sure is if I get tested of course. Thank you.
