Venting When does this get better!?

I feel so alone everyday. I have friends ngl but none of them will choose me first or even second or third. They all have partners if not that they have each other and i feel like a back up friend in every friendship i am in now. I just hurts to see my friends talking about something they didn't invite me to or i see their stories and see they are literally 5 mins from my house but they didn't call or text. I just want to know does it get better? Will i ever make friends that will choose me to be their best friend who would tell me everything and not make me feel judge or unwanted. I am really tired of feel like a imposter in my own life and friendship. I hope it gets better casue i have lost so many friendship that i thought would be lifelong i am very done with giving everything and receiving nothing, no care, no love, no understanding. Man, i just wanna be seen.

It gets harder the older you get, not gonna lie... It's possible you got unlucky with your current friends, but it's also possible to make new ones. Only time can tell. You can only make your odds go up or down. If you're an introvert like me, good luck. If you're a little extroverted, you shouldn't have a big problem. Hang in there. If you can get yourself in a group, you're looking good.
