I'm having a really hard time making friends at my new school. (Really long but clear)

I moved across the world and my school started a few months ago. I knew it'd be a new part of my life and I knew many things would happen. And they did. But one thing I didn't see coming was me being alone. I miss so many things from my country. And I don't know why but it seems like no one wants to be my friend. I try talking to people, though I'm very awkward at it, but I like to think that it's just the standard awkwardness in any conversation for the first time. Yet, I can count the number of people I've talked to more than once on my fingers.

Some students of the opposite gender seem to glance at me while I'm not looking. I don't know what to interpret it as. Sometimes I'm optimistic and like to think they've taken some interest to me, at least as a friend. Sometimes I'm not in the best mood ever and I feel like I'm just weird.

Over time, I formed some sort of resentment towards the students that I obviously don't openly show. It's hard for me to see people happy with company and then get reminded that I don't have that. What's even harder is staying optimistic. Sometimes I just get tired and I wanna ask the girls near me to just shut up and stop talking. But I can't do that. I'm not the type of guy who'd hurt someone's feelings for my own sake.

I don't really know, honestly. My family doesn't make it any easier. They haven't really let me do anything related to extracurriculars, since they've wanted me to focus on the SAT. They also get really stressed out very easily, and I understand that they're humans too. So sometimes I just can't even get frustrated. It is frustrating, though.

I don't even know when I'll go back to the country. I miss so much there. Honestly it just feels like I lost everything. I don't get why no one wants to be my friend, be a person who'd wait for me at school. Maybe that's just not the culture here. I really don't know.

Anyways, if you made it this far, thanks for reading:) It means a lot. I found this website by luck and decided to give it a try. If you don't know what to say, that's okay. I'm just as confused as you are. Anyway, have a great day! (or night, or evening, or afternoon or morning or weekend-)

Okay first of all hii.  I want to be your friend. Lemma introduce myself, ohh ig we're not supposed to reveal our identities here. 
I relate to you a lot after losing just one friendship I had and that Friend turning everyone against me, i faced the same situation. I'm still dealing with it.

I know it's lonely to always have just yourself. No one wants to voluntarily spend time with you and everyone has someone they prefer. And it's hurtful and lonely. I can understand you more than anything rn lmao.

But yk what sometimes we can't just do anything about this. We just need to trust universe's timing and enjoy being in our own company. I know it sounds great but still hard to apply. Trust me, I felt that too. I've felt loney in class, in my dorm, on Sundays when we could go out but I had no one to go with, when I wanted to go to canteen to eat something but had no one to go with me. I felt really bad but I just went alone. And I slowly started enjoying being alone. It still did hurt sometimes but I had to move forward.

And the right ones will definitely find you eventually. Maybe they'll like you for who you're, how you don't mind being alone.

Also don't lose hope. Just be good to the people, and the world, also to yourself. Just be kind, kind people find kind people. You'll surely make friends. You just made one,me.

I'm not sure if any of my words helped you or not but I just wanted to write you something because I see myself in you. Stay strong. Stay kind, my friend.
