Hi, Feeling unable to make and maintain friendships can be distressing, impacting your mental well-being. Consider seeking support from a counselor or therapist who can help you explore underlying reasons for these challenges and develop strategies to improve your social interactions and coping skills. Additionally, focus on activities and hobbies that bring you joy and fulfillment, and remember that meaningful connections often develop naturally over time.

Many people stay happy and accomplished without any so called friends. At Your age it is quite natural to evaluate yourself / value yourself in terms of friends , but I would suggest try to maintain a good healthy and happy life with some short term and long term goals , you will automatically find friends in your way . Do not deliberately focus on making friends, Also one more suggestion to little introspect if you are knowingly /unknowingly becoming too direct or hurtful to people in your communication. Surely you will get like minded friends on your path, best wishes.

Hi
Thanks for reaching out. You are feeling upset and anxious about not being able to maintain friendship. You want to mingle with people and have a good time. You don’t want to feel lonely. Consult a psychologist and explain about not being able to maintain friendship. A psychologist will guide you with this. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to maintain friends and don’t think too much about maintaining friends. You can think of being calm and go with the flow.

Hi!
I'm sorry to hear that this situation is causing distress and making you anxious. I would recommend that you try to self-reflect and think about what kind of people you would like in your life as friends (think about qualities, traits, etc) and then try to socialize. Making friends is like gambling, you never know who you might click with. I would also recommend that you start working with a psychologist to figure out how to enhance interpersonal relationships and learn tools to manage anxiety and distress
Next Steps
Reach out to a psychologist (I take online consultations if you would like to start); self-reflect through journaling

It is absolutely fine. Accept yourself the way you are. When you increase the dose of self love and resolve inner conflicts/confusions/insecurities then you will naturally vibrate with high energy which attracts your tribe with similar traits and common interests.
You no need to compromise on your interests for the sake of fitting into groups. Work on yourself to stay confident and assertive about anything that think of.
Just celebrate your uniqueness and nurture it.
