I had many friends when I was swearing a lot, I don't have more than 1 friend outside of my house anymore and I am happy when I'm alone, life is not about people it's about making tons of money, you need to find a priority that will make you happy if you find it difficult to make friends, maybe instead try making music

I struggled with friends when I was your age, I moved house a lot because of my parents work and it was hard to form lasting friendships, I think I have kept in contact with one person from that time. I met my first real friends when I was 17, still close to them today, and University I finally got to be myself, id had a fair share of bad friendships and having that knowledge made it easier to recognise who I wanted to be friends with and who I didn’t.
My biggest advice is that you realise not everyone will want to be friends with you, as you shouldn’t want to be friends with everyone. If you be yourself you will attract similar people or people who like your personality 😊
Making friends is hard at times, sometimes it takes a while to make those lasting friendships, but you will make them with time.

Attend some clubs at your school and find people with similar interests to you, don’t change yourself to force people to like you. True friends will be found doing something you both like for example I made my friends that I’ve had for the whole of secondary and 6th form from playing basketball with them at the park

Take every opportunity you have - you’ll find friends through many interests (e.g. clubs, societies, sports, taking the same subject/lesson - plus, you might even make friends through other friends!)

You don't need friends to be happy, but I know how it feels to lack friends. Get involved and join clubs whether inside or outside of school, be present around people if you can stand them. You're fortunate to be in school still where you're in an environment where you can make friends because adult life can be very depressing and lonely. Try your best now to make a group of friends because that structure isn't going to last. Also when you do make friends, stick close to them and try not to let the drift away, again adult life gets lonely and without reliable friends you might find it hard to cope when it comes to your mental health.

Honestly, I met most of my good friends online( whatsapp GCs) and they have been amazing set of people. I'm not saying you necessarily have to join GCs but if you want to, it might help a lot as well.

welcome to the gang! ur not alone. this was literally my entire childhood and early teenage years.
I say u should b urself! If people don't like you for who you are then they are not worthy to be your friend. True friends accept u for who you r. It might not be easy without friends, but would u rather have a bunch of fake friends or 1 really good, loyal, genuine friend??
I joined a few Coursera courses during the pandemic and made a few great friends there. U could try that too.
Join a few clubs! U might bond better with those with the same interests as u!
At 17, I have a bunch of really cool friends. it took me this long to make them. My whole life all I did was try to be someone I'm not to impress people, then when I reveal my true self they don't like me.
