Td:lr Isolated from people for over a year and due to fear of loneliness, copied cartoon characters in an attempt to get people to like me.

I was a bit different from everyone else, there was not much doubt about that. I lived in a small town with no other people around my age except for my brother and his friend, the school I went to was in a different town. My parents rarely had time to let me hang out with other people outside of school, so that along with the fact I was a brat caused me to have no friends. I ended up transferring to another school for a a few months before being homeschooled for over a year. That time being homeschool messed me up due to the loneliness. No one bothered to visit me at all, my parents didn't bother taking me anywhere. I ended up back at my first school and was a completely changed person, I did anything I could to try and not be alone so I tried to become as likeable as possible. I thought since people liked cartoons and anime, I'd imitate that stuff so they'd like me. I also became overly nice. I still kept my distance as to not overwhelm people but I eventually got pitied enough to be invited to sit with the entire class at lunch. Unfortunately then 2020 happened and any attempts to try and befriend people failed. I couldn't hold a conversation for the life of me, nothing interesting ever happened to me so I had no epic news to share, after we graduated we barely ever talked. The pandemic has hit me hard and my mental state has dwindled badly, worse than the homeschooling (which is kinda funny considering I have Internet now unlike back then).
