Hi @Astar772 that can be a really difficult place to be in a friendship, feeling like you're just on the outside a little bit. It can be especially hard when it seems like this stuff comes so easily to those around you, but can be hard work for you.
I know it can feel isolating, so I just want you to know you're not alone in feeling like this, many forum members here have had struggles with feeling like they fit in, myself included.
I noticed that you mentioned school a few times and just wanted to check whether you're over 18 and want to make sure you're getting the best support for you 🙂

Hey thanks, I’m a bit under 18 and just wanted to unload what I’ve been feeling, any feedback, and to hear about others stories that are going through similar scenarios. 🙂 It’s comforting but also sad knowing that others struggle to fit in as well, not outside the box- but not inside either- more like on the rim 🤔

Hey @Astar772 ,
It takes a lot to reach out to an online community.
I read that you are a little under 18.
Unfortunately, these forums are for those who are 18 and above.
We do this to ensure that young people can talk with people of specialised skills and connect with peers of their own age. I have listed some supports below that may be of help to you in. In particular ReachOut.com are an online space similar to our forums but for younger people.
Other places you can get help:
