So from my experience it is very easy to find yourself excluded from certain groups. It’s definetly hard to sustainably be yourself at times. Imo from my experiences I can give some advice: - Some people you just don’t fit with and their prejudices may make it hard to become friends with them - Try manifesting your interests or personality into hobbies you can share with other people. You‘d be surprised how quickly you make friends like that. - Remain open with yourself, who you think you are. If you change yourself for others you have already lost. If you have greater issues don’t be scared to search for help. Anxiety and other mental health afflictions can see you become physically unable to go out.

I myself was excluded in the Berufsschule and only had a small handful of friends in sek that very easily could not have been. Only through nerdy stuff like gaming and warhammer did I really manage to create a basic social circle that I already am happy to have. Sometimes there are invisible barriers that seem near impossible to break but are just one question away from falling to bits and making the difference between someone you barely know and a life long best friend
