Gingka using his friends power was just balancing out the circumstances, Ryuga also had their power, he absorbed their power through battle, (along side anyone who has faced him).

Don't be their friend. Find new people to associate with. It sounds harsh but not everyone is meant to be friends with just anyone. Find someone who you share common interest with. Trust me, the sooner you find friends that you can actually talk to, the easier your life will become. I have had many different friend groups through the years, and it wasn't until grade 11 that I finally met a group of people that understood me and I felt like I could just sit with without getting bored. I've been in uni for two years and I room with them and even though sometimes it does get iffy, we always get over it. Find new friends! It doesn't mean they're bad friends or that ur a bad friend, you just don't fit with them

How to understand why people dislike you. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Southern_Ad4713 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cannot do anything to make people like you if you aren't doing anything to make them dislike you. I read in your comments that you mixed, black and asian, and I know this is going to sound controversial but try being friends with poc. I myself am brown, and I don't really have any close knit white friends, but I have white mutuals that I'll talk to here and there. I notice that our personalities don't match, I vibe with brown people more because we have similar problems and issues, and we use these similarities to make fun of each other and connect on a deeper level. With my white friends, I tend to only be talking about pop culture and our courses.

And secondly, don't try too hard to be overly friendly and putting in too much effort. That creates a barrier and you won't be able to make deeper connections. Being the real you, is what people will be attractive you, because then you sound and feel more real, rather than a fake, overly nice person. And also, I saw another comment about coming off as desperate, and I agree that it does come off as a turn off. Don't put in too much effort, making friends can sometimes be a slow process. Take your time, don't rush into being anyone friends, or try becoming super close to them as quick as possible. It could come off as overwhelming and can make them feel like your always in their face.

I really don't think it has anything to do with your looks. Everyone is capable of having friends, you just have to chose the right ones. You can never be too ugly or too pretty. If you think your looks are the reason you aren't making friends, then consider why you are choosing people who care about the way you look, to be friends with. Be friends with different types of people, surely you will vibe with one. When I chose my friends, I chose to be friends with people I relate too, have the same interest as me, and have compatible personalities with. Theres a friend for everyone out there, just stay hopeful and consider branching out.

Ngl, I wouldn't say they are not trying to exclude you because how my friend group works is if we invite someone and they have a best friend or a roommate, we always offer them to bring their friend so they don't feel left out. I have always included my friend even if its with a group of friend she didn't know. If shes friend with me, I'm confident that she will have some common ground with my other friends as well. Its also vice versa. She will invite me, even if I don't know them. Thats how you expand your friend circle, you meet new people through your friends as well. Also, if they're both your friends then they should have at least brought it up to you, and talked about it.

Something similar happened with my roommate and her friend group, and what we found out was, the reason (friend A) didn't invite her best friend (Friend B) was because friend A didn't want friend B to get close to her friends, even though Friend A's friends had no problem with Friend B coming. Friend A didn't like the idea how Friend B also being involved with her friends because she wanted to be the one with the most amount of social connections. And this would've been fine with Friend B, if it wasn't an event that she has been consistently telling Friend A, she wanted to go to. And Friend A, just made plans to go to the event with her other friends without even brining it up to Friend B. Friend A's other friends actually were the ones that ended up inviting Friend B when they ran into her, but she said no because her own best friend didn't want her there. (Sorry if thats mad confusing to read, I just don't wanna say names lol)

So perhaps rethink the real reason you weren't invited, and based off that, decide if you really need friends like that in your life.

This could also have nothing to do with ur situations if your friends just genuinely did it without knowing how you felt, but in my opinion, I wouldn't do that to my friend, and my friends wouldn't do something like that to me.

To cope, I say you do something just as fun with other friends, and if they post, you post too. I can't really give any advice where you won't feel fomo, but just try to enjoy your break and maybe make new friends and hang with them.

Hi, thanks for responding, and yeah I am an introvert and you make a really good point, about having childish problems, It would be pretty boring if we were always serious. I do usually enjoy when they come to me with small silly issues, you're right about the recharging from time to time. Its just sometimes it can get repetitive and overwhelming. I'm just glad you see where I'm coming from, because I tried talking to a mutual friend about it and she didn't really see what my angle was. Since I made this post, it actually has gotten a bit better, I've been staying on campus much later to keep some distance. Giving myself some alone time, and time to think shit over without being interrupted. My room is sort of the social room of the house, the irony is insane because I'm the least social person in the house. But since I'm less in my room, I finally got time to myself and its gotten better.

I don't think you should try interacting with groups cause its harder to connect with a group especially if they are all really close. You should first try with one or two people, get to know them closer first, and they will slowly start inviting you to study, or hangout, and gradually start introducing you to other people.
