Look, the only difference between you and everyone else is that you respond to jerks by thinking that YOU are the one with the problem. We all get rejected, we all encounter jerks. You need to learn to dismiss these people without taking their rejection to heart. If I were you, I would think, "screw them." So should you.

You are doing exactly the right thing by making an effort to be sociable. Keep doing it. When you meet people who are unfriendly, move on and try other people.

Someone suggested that you join clubs and I think this is a great idea. Because people who are looking to make new friends often join clubs. Also, it will be good for you to have a hobby/learn something new. Why not try joining a soccer team or learning how to kayak? If sports isn't your thing, there is always dancing or cooking or something like that.

It can be tough to make friends as an adult because many people are already in a routine with friends and don't really go out of their way to socialize. But it can be done if you keep doing what you're doing. Good luck.

Don't focus on trying to be noticed, they may see that as attention seeking, try expanding your social group, not just dodgeball, some groups feel like they are a "brotherhood" and have known each other since childhood thus making them judgemental of "outsiders" so don't confront them about feeling ignored.

Your on the right lines with sports it's fantastic team building and friendly competition, people are cruel and can make people feel insignificant! If thats the case don't mix with those people. Get in touch with some old school friends and bring them along.

I'm no expert but I do know that humour is a good way to break the ice, ask them few questions about themselves but not too many, and people can sense when your nervous when talking to them and emotions are infectious thus making them feel uneasy

So relax you will fit in somewhere ;)

Maybe they just don't like you. Sometimes you just don't click with some people and you do with others. Just move on and find a group of people that accept you.

Peace be the journey.

EDIT: Socialising has always been hard. People are afraid of rejection but once you get over that fear you realise that there are a ton of people out there that would like to be friends with you. Just keep trying.

Forget about those jerks and try some other activities like joining a bowling league, a cooking class somewhere you can be around people that don't act so childish.

Because some people are just straight up assholes and you shouldn't waste anymore of your time on them. Forget about them and go make some new friends that are better people than that.

pretty pathetic story. they're probably tired of that strange girl that's always showing up and watching them for some reason. if you ask them, unless they're weak and dishonest people, they'll probably tell you why they don't like you and you can move on. maybe because you seem desperate and creepy?

my girl friend used to tell the same to me.. if u try to socialize, u cant... coz u want to fall in others loop.. u create ur own loop and ppl fall in it depend on how good ur loop is.. u should be center of group.. never try to be a part of group..

This is my secret of socializing..

Maybe you don't truly act yourself because you're too busy trying to being wanted . Be confident, and be yourself

i would hate to live where you do, hon.... and sometimes people just do things like that because they're mean spirited. if it means anything, you sound lovely and i would totally be friends with you :)
