(throwaway because I have personal info on my normal account)
Like the title says, im 18 years old. I only ever hang out with my mom (who i love but it would be nice to have some friends), and i went to senior prom alone. My mom drove me there as I cried, holding tissues to my tear ducts so i wouldnt mess up my makeup, and dropped me off.
My “friends” didnt invite me to go with them, even when I asked what their plans were and if i could come with. When I got there alone, all the seats at their tables were taken and I sat alone with some people i barely know. No one asked to take a picture with me, and no one asked to dance or let me know when they were taking their big group photo.
I ended up trying to leave early but they had guards blocking the doors (not sure why honestly) and they made me wait ten minutes, so I didnt even make it outside before I started sobbing. I stood in the corner until the doors opened and i went out to my moms car and just cried to her about how I have no friends who talk to me outside of school, and how i dont understand whats wrong with me.
To make matters worse it was my 18th birthday just a few days before, and my family spent a ton of money to make it fun for me and the three people I invited. Two of them didnt bring a gift (which is fine I dont really care) but they didnt even bring a card or anything. Two of them woke up late also so they made us all late.
I think im pretty funny, and i see myself as nice, so i dont get how I dont have friends. I talk to people at school all the time, but no one texts me, let alone hangs out with me outside of school.
Thanks for reading, just had to vent to someone other than my mom lol
