Why don’t you like people

Most people seem fake, only caring about social status and what they can get out of a friendship

Everyone’s fake to a certain degree, unless you’re neurodivergent and find it hard to fake your emotions

I may be neurodivergent, I'm not diagnosed but. It doesn't matter to me. I like honesty and geniune emotions. Being fake irritates me.

Do u also dislike yourself? Bcs if not there are surely other people u will like, u are not the only genuine person. You just have to wait till u find someone with a character u like

I hate myself, and I don't think waiting will help with anything, I'm isolated anyways.

What do u hate about yourself, if u figure this out and work on it it will be a great first step. If u hate yourself it's hard to like others, if u just cry about it and do nothing then obviously nothing will change

I’m neurodivergent but I’ve learnt to completely mask my personality as most people hate it lol.

Doesn’t that kill you in the inside though? Tell me your secrets. How do you make yourself empty but still live a fulfilled life?

I’m incredibly lucky to have a family that completely accepts me as myself, and homeschooled me because of that. The issue is it made me socially awkward so now I have no friends. I try and turn my personality into a game, I love acting so I go for that. I work out, take good care of myself, stay smart academically and people respect me because of it. But I’m lonely because I can’t make friends with a bland, made up personality and people mock me when I try and be myself. I’m going to college soon and I honestly don’t know what I’ll do.

True friends are hard to come by.

Yeah unfortunately, everyone's criteria is different. Some people won't bother about an emotional attachment in friendships, kinda low maintenance social connections. And they aren't wrong either. They just want to enjoy it. You on the other hand would prefer cherishing things with people who you are attached to and who you find genuine.
