Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this! I'm not sure how helpful I'll be because I haven't had much experience making any friends, but I'll try my best.
At this point, I think you should clarify with your friends. From what you said, it looks like your friends didn't seem to care that you exploded at them, or even that you stood up for yourself. However, there's a possibility that it's a misunderstanding, and I think you should ask them, especially since you said something that suggested that they were introverted (they might be hiding their feelings, I know I do sometimes). Maybe see if there's any factors that contributed to their behavior.
If it turns out that they don't care, you could still keep in touch with them, but try making new friends. Those new friends might not share all of your interests, but I think it'd be helpful for you to have friends who do take you seriously, because that's what friends are for, right?
I'll be praying for you! (I'm not sure what religion you believe in, if any, so if you want, just think of it as an act of support. There's not much else I can do.)
I really really hope that you can be friends with somebody who takes you seriously.

he invades my thoughts
fills my mind
blue eyes and freckles, forever imprinted upon me
i see him walk down the hall and everything stops, freezes
all i can feel is the pounding of my heart
~
he barely knows me but
i love him
i counted the seconds i see him each day, probably only around 50
we have no classes together
we shared one last semester
it dawned on me one day to like him, and so i did
and now i'm obsessed, it's all-encompasssing
he's just a boy but
he feels like so much more
~
i told my friends, they don't get it
i try not to mention him that much, they have no idea
how large this crush is
how much i yearn to catch one glimpse of him, i make so many excuses
to be able to walk in the direction he walks, to be able to stare just a second too long
he'll never know any of this but
he
kills
me

recently I've just been obsessed with this game and I can't stop and I know I shouldn't want that but it's just so... blissful, to be immersed in a fantasy world where your skill with sword and sail hold more value than school or everyday routine.
mostly... it's just hard for me to live in a world with no magic, no dangerous adventures, no glorious cutscenes or background music, just a cold, dark land with problems that can't be solved with quick reflexes or impulsive button-mashing.
and I don't know what I want to accomplish by posting this, I guess it just feels better not to keep it to myself, I suppose.

Yeah, I know the feeling. But guess what - there's sort of magic in the real world too. It's just more subtle. But it's kind of magical to stand looking at a sunset during a picnic, or to finally get one of your stories published, or to fall in love. The real world holds more fascination and wonder than anything in a video game. Learning to appreciate it is a part of growing up. It may be hard, but don't get discouraged - as you grow older, it'll come naturally, and soon you'll see what I mean. (I'd also recommend reading the Chronicles of Narnia - they have tons of magic and adventure, but they also deal with this whole thing of having to leave magic behind, in a very relatable way.)

TOP!
Confession: I was depressed several days ago and probably still am.

I'm not sure if any of you guys can guess my CB name, but please don't. It's important to me that this stays private.
When I was younger, I had so many friends. I had girl friends, boy friends, and brother friends. (Haha, no, not boyfriends. boy FRIENDS.) I was never lonely.
Then I got older and quieter. I developed a personality--but a shy personality. You see, I'm quiet. Very quiet. I will talk to people, but they usually have to initiate it. I struggle. I remember being at an end-of-year recital and wanting to talk to these girls in my class, but I couldn't summon the courage to do it. I was going to go up to them and ask their age. THEIR AGE. That's all I was going to say. Just, you know, try to initiate a conversation. But I couldn't. I was too nervous. About what? I don't know--afraid of looking stupid. Saying the wrong thing, you know?
So I don't talk to them, and the next year comes. They're still in my class. I have no friends. The one I had before stopped talking to me, because their best friend joined the class. I think I was the one who stopped talking to them first, but they were kinda just obsessed with their best friend. Better to be alone than to be ignored, right? Wrong.
I continued the class, feeling sad and upset whenever I went. The year before last, I was one of the best in the class. But this year? I kept messing up, not remembering things. I was mediocre at best. And the one kid who talked to me? A little boy. It was so sweet of him, but I want friends who are girls, like me. I have boy friends, as mentioned earlier, but it gets tiring. Most of my friends were homeschool friends or my brother's friends. It's frustrating.
Then I quit that class and started a different one.
I LOVED it.
I made friends who are like me, some shy, some not. They love to read, and have the same interests.
If I mess up in this class, I don't care. I love it. I may be a bit disappointed, but I will learn from my mistakes. I will get better.
This post isn't all about me.
It's also about the people who are struggling like I was.
Hang in there. You'll make friends.
Stay positive, and keep trying. Laugh at your mistakes and learn from them.
Learn to truly live.

You have no idea how much i needed this today. Thank you.
(April 5, 2023 - 2:01 pm)
I can relate. This used to happen to me every social opportunity and sometimes still does.
Scenario That Always Happens:
Me to self: Oh my goodness, they like writing and books and I really want to be friends with them.
Me three seconds later, still to self: Okay, I'm definitely going to make friends with them now. I'm going to ask for their email.
Me five seconds later to self again: Here we go.
Me: *turns to look at person*
Possible friend: *glances up*
Me: *turns away quickly*
Possible friend: *looks away, oblivious to any attempt at conversation, or so I hope*
Me to self yet again: Aggghhhhhhh, why can't you just make friends with someone?
Thank you so much, @Anonymous, for taking the time to write that post! It's really encouraging. :)

I... kinda needed this too, even if I'm not sure I can do it yet. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

Thanks, Anonymous...that happens with me too...

Hi.
So I came back to an old school I used to go to when I was little.
There are some people there calling me loser, and they made a meme out of me. :(
I don't know what to do...
