Hey @Question!

Sounds like you've been through a lot already and I already admire your perserverance to try to keep going with your studies 🙂

I know that feeling where some people seem to be ignoring you all the time, despite you being there. I'm definitely not the most charismatic or social person but sometimes I get the feeling they're only talking to me while waiting for someone better to show up. It can be hard and sometimes still is but I can give you a tip I've tried and worked (to some degree):

Have you tried asking your old friends to honestly tell you what they liked (and if you're able to handle it, what they didn't like) about you? I once was told that I rambled on too much so I've tried working on that and trying to be aware of it during interactions.

What do you think about it? Would you be able to ask your old friends (or anyone who knows you well) what their own judgement of you is? You don't have to ask about the negatives if you're not ready and emphasizing whatever positives they list could be a great step in the right direction. It's something we can work at and polish into a diamond, we just need the right tools (and knowledge...I almost forgot!) 🙂

Tired of two faced friends/acquaintances, can't pull myself out of depression
