For the foreign people living in UK: Do you feel that it's very difficult to make uk friends, as if they are just polite but not available to open their spaces to new friends?

Yeah
I'm just guessing you are from Spain because of your username. When you join in halfway through the year most people already have friend groups and are not open to new people, unless you are what they might consider cool. People's interests are also really different, in other countries without uniform anyone would wear basic clothes and even repeat outfits and no one literally no one cared, if that was to be the case here so many kids would be bullied for not wearing expensive clothes or repeating outfits. People are generally more superficial, everyone here is so obsessed with makeup, fake nails and just appearance overall. When you are so different from their standard, as in do not wear makeup, do not get eyebrows done etc.they will reject you and might even make fun of you. Everyone is talking about and making fun of people, especially those who do not fit in, behind their backs, even if they have done nothing bad or even ever talked to them. It is hard to deal with it daily, you start hating coming to school.
Maybe that's just me
