Is there hope for me and my social life?

I'm in my first year of sixth form, at the same school i went to. i have literally no friends there and spend most of my time on my own as a result. i make an effort to socialise but the group i've tried to with the most never invite me to any of their social ocassions like parties etc. other groups ive tried with people never seem to be interested. i'm kind of trying to rekindle a friendship with a mate from a way back outside of school adn we met the other day which was good but i want people in school. i just want to do the stuff other people do - go to parties, go out etc. i dont have a girlfriend either and that gets me down a lot because it makes me feel low because ive never had one before it makes me feel like im unattracctive or something. and all i hear about is people talking about sex and sh*t and i can't relate or anything. any advice? i'm thinking about uni just for the social life but then i feel if i dont like it im stuck there

Hey! So I'm really antisocial too and while I do have friends they've stopped inviting me anywhere cuz they Know I won't go. I think the thing is is too start off small and make you're way up. Don't worry about the parties and stuff at first, it'll only make it worse. Then maybe organise something yourself and work from there?

what if you were always the one to organise stuff but then when you didnt, you weren't invited. and why do people hate you before they even know you and just decide they dont like you, hence why i never get invited to parties or anything. although (i know its contradictory) im so socially awkward i cant walk into a room of people even if i know everyone in there apart from one person. i have to be one of the first in there

With my job and uni it’s hard to have much off a social life as I work at radio most weekends till late. Start off small and work your way up being social
