social problems

[lightPainting]

i'll make it short and simple...
i feel like i cant ever be apart of a group. i feel isolated from everyone. At school during lunch, everywhere i look i see people hanging out with their group of friends while i'm just walking around by my self, killing time, until the next class starts.
i don't have a problem talking to people and from time to time i do sit with others but i just never feel like im apart of something.
so what can i do to feel apart of a group?
if you need to ask any questions, go ahead.

try and find out what intrests certain people in your school and use that to talk to them

What you're doing right now seems fine, you talk to people. But try to find a group who have similar interests to you and I guarantee you'll fit in well.

As others have said try and find a group of people you are similar too I have this problem too since I moved up to college all you can do is try your best to be friendly and hope you find the right people

Here is what I find helpful when making friends:
-You must find someone who appears to have the same strengths and weaknesses that you have. This makes it much easier to make acquaintance with that person.
-When you first approach them, make conversation about random things which appear to be of interest to them. For instance, if they are wearing a shirt advertising a particular video game that you enjoy as well, then you could comment on that.
-Try the above method a few times. If it does not work after three or four tries and the conversations are still very awkward, then you should probably just let it rest and not try to be friends with them. It would be their turn to approach you after that.
-Make sure there is a few days of space between each encounter. You don't want to make it seem as if you are trying to stalk them.

Best of luck, friend. This game is mainly played by finding people of the same interests as you, so that is your best shot at making friends.

Be yourself

I get that too sometimes. Like if I walk up to a group I think to myself saying that I look like a creep.

Finding a group of common interests usually works well but sometimes it's better when every person brings something a bit more unique and individual to the group.

I've a similar problem to you tbh, normally I hang around with individuals but I consider it a struggle to find people with similar interests/hobbies to me.

Do you have fear or tough times in your life?If I feel bad I dont seek others...

Sorry if this sounds silly, but the way to have good friends is to be a good friend. You can start by saying hi to people, smiling at them, asking how they are, etc. If people see you as approachable and warm and friendly, it will be easier to make friends.
