How to stop being a floater friend

I’m 17 and just started sixth form. It’s the same as my secondary school but there are so many new people. I really try my hardest to make friends which I think I’m good at, but close ones I can’t. I have not had any since primary school. It makes me feel sad and embarrassed. No one talks to me outside of school or invite me to do anything outside of school. I try to invite people but they just dismiss it. Or people just make plans without me. I feel like I’m talking to people but no one is having a conversation with me. I pretty much make this post every few months and people give me the same advice and nothing changes and I know it won’t change now. It’s just pathetic, I wanted go to the cinema and my mum said I should go with my 12 year old sister and her friends so I don’t go alone. Am I really that pathetic? It’s just annoying there is no way I’ve gone to school for 5 years and not one person sees me more than a classmate? Year 11 summer was also terrible I literally couldn’t do anything cause I have no friends. I really hate it. I just hate my life, how bad can I be? And I don’t want to tell anyone because becoming friends with someone because they feel bad for you is pathetic. I literally have not had a real friend in 5 years!!?
