I can never seem to make and keep friends. When I meet others, they seem fine getting to know me but people never seem to want to start friendships with me. I feel like there is something wrong with me because everyone else I know has no problems making friends but when I do the same and try the same tatics people use to make friends, I am not accepted, or in some cases, people will start pity friendships or friendships out of convince or boredom with me. I feel like people just genuinely don't like me as a friend, some like me as an acquaintance but others just do not like me at all. And I have done everything people have said to do such as join hobbies or clubs and get involved but it does not work. It is like people automatically connect with one another, don't understand how it is done. I have basically given up on friendships. I have a paralysis on the side of my face and I am hearing impaired. I have no doubt that is part of the reason. And unless people are just cruel, there is probably something I am doing that drives people off but they are too afraid to tell me. I think it has more to do with my looks because there has been times where someone would add me on facebook to get to know me before school begins and they seem to genuinely like me but as soon as they see me in person, I am nothing to them. I have a profile pic but it is kind of hard to see the paralysis in the pic so that is probably why at first they probably do like me but then when they see me in person, they realize there is something wrong and they disappear. Once I actually told a person beforehand that I have a paralysis and hearing impaired and they said they did not mind so I figured I did the right thing and they would not be shocked, but as soon as they saw me, she made small talk and then she never talked to me again. So I know that is a big reason but it still frustrates me. Also don't get why people feel the need to pity me or only befriend me out of boredom or convince. I just don't know anymore and basically give up. . I barely ask for people's numbers now since in the past when I asked, they gave me their number only to find out it was out of politeness, they really did not want to so I wait for people to come to me since that means there is a higher chance of them not minding. Wish I knew what was wrong besides my appearance.
