I was bullied almost all of my school years because I was always socially awkward, weird and impulsive. I never fitted in no matter how much I tried to imitate everyone else.
Who can blame me for how I am now? Of course I don't have friends. I still don't even understand how people keep social relationships at all. I never know what to say, how to react. I either come off and too strong (usually oversharing my personal details), or too quiet. Even when I do make "friends", they're only okay for a while, but I eventually get bored and stop speaking to them.
Now, I just keep to myself, talk to myself, get upset at myself or overwhelmed easily by social interaction, wondering if I did anything wrong. Being social is a complicated and tiring chore that I don't want to take on anymore.
I'm beginning to just completely zone out, and disconnect from everything. It sucks because it feels like I can't enjoy ANYTHING. All I do all day research my mental health state, or watch youtube videos (usually barely paying attention - my mind elsewhere). Whenever I feel anxious or agitated for no reason, I just rock myself.
I'm sure I've posted enough on here, but I am 17, in college now. Yes, it's affecting my college life, as my drive is super low, and I struggle with focusing.

I know how it's like being isolated from people.
Have you thought of the possibility that it's your nature to be isolated and be OK with it?
You have to find out what you enjoy by your own first and foremost. Afterwards you can find people with a common ground and serve each other's interests.
