Here we go again

Post about this a lot and still haven’t really got what I’m looking for. I really struggle to get close to people st school I’ve slowly been getting close to a couple of people to the point of ‘friends’ but never really to the point where I’m invited to things. I feel like a load of people get closer by going to parties together and I wouldn’t describe myself as un popular but I think when people are planning parties I’m over looked I feel like a huge part of my social life is missing. It didn’t really concern me much but it’s starting too. How can I show people I’m interested and also get closer to people in school. I’m in my last year and about to go into sixth form so I really want to have some fun in those years and I can’t seem to break into these established friendship groups. It probably doesn’t help that I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to getting in trouble so I never really wanna do all that stuff. But yeh... any advice would be nice just on getting a best friend cause honestly it’s really starting to bother me and I’m getting a bit depressed from it and starting to think people are just being civil not really caring much about the friendship.

Thanks

Oh god, I feel the same way as you do. I've just spent the whole half term at home since I couldn't get the courage to reach out to people. I know I'm not much help, but perhaps you could start by asking people you get on with/you're close to what they're doing on the weekend, ask if you could go, and go from there? Even if it's something as simple as going to the cinema or the park or whatever, that should make you feel better.

Thanks hopefully we can get an answer to this impossible question

Hey dude I'm sorry you are experiencing this, first off I'd love to get to know you better and become friends. What I would do is go onto social media and start looking for people in your school to follow and DM. Just start having conversations with them and maybe ask if there are some bangers they know going on over the weekend that you could go to with them. Find people with your interests first because they are the easiest to talk to and work up to just talking to everyone
