I can relate to friends not being very friendly. I was friendly in high school with people. I met friends to play music with. I met friends to play sports with. I met friends to listen to music and goof around with. I guess I never met anyone who liked me for me though. I was a good athelete. I was a talented guitarist. I was OK in academics. I knew the right musical bands to listen to so that I could appear "cool" or unafraid, I guess. I had the song and dance down pretty well. When graduation came, I had zero coping skills and mega problems. It was like hitting a concrete wall at 100 miles an hour. SPLAT. That was my introduction to the adult world. All the friends I thought I had made in high school, disregarded me as though I was a sick pet. Kinda sad but, life goes on. So I was disregarded and having to comprehend tons of issues flodding on me all at once. Unresolved issues from early childhood, major issues. I will most likely never be able to trust anyone as a friend again. It was that painful. I got help from docs and therapists. My birth family helped a bit, also. I met my wife, and she has been my rock of stability. Life does go on, but compassion and empathy are very important. I think my friends now realize that they were insensitive. That isn't my problem. I can't try to be their friend, anymore. If they want my friendship, they have to express an interest in me. I hope this helps.
