What do i do

So I’m like friends with people in most of my classes but I can’t make proper friends. I’ve never been to a party before or had sleepovers with friends and I’m in yr 13 now so I feel like it’s rather late. I think most people are friendly to me and I’m friendly back. I have friends but recently in a day they don’t respond and act off. It seems I cannot get past the outsider friends place. I’ve never had a best friend or anything and no one has ever invited me anywhere. I’m asking how can I move past the outer friends stage because the last thing I want is for it to continue in uni.

The great thing about uni is that nobody knows you, so you can kind of reinvent yourself. But don't beat yourself up if you don't reinvent yourself.
I think the real way to make proper, sustained friends is not being afraid to joke, but also not being afraid to make plans. If you go to societies at uni, or talk to people in your modules, you'll probably find a few people who you get along with well enough to ask them to the pub, a club, a movie, etc... Just try to be interested in things and share your thoughts as you have them so you can have an involved conversation. And don't feel bad if it's not working. Some people are just a bit boring...
