Issues with having friends or being socially fit...?

First let me say that there is nothing wrong with you. And while it might be very hard to believe, everyone experiences these insecurities. A lot of times people tend to poke fun at other people in an effort to bring their own self esteem up. Don't worry about the ones who were mean to you or made fun of you. Those kinds of people only do that because THEY are VERY insecure. I hardly had any friends in high school. I used to sit in the library by myself to avoid standing alone before school and during lunch period. I am now in college with a few close friends and very happy! Don't give up on yourself. And never think that you're abnormal or that anyone is better than you. Before you make friends, you need to build your confidence and be your own friend. Don't worry about anyone else. Find something that you're good at and focus all your energy into that. Once you get more comfortable with yourself, you'll be more comfortable talking to others. Just smile a lot and try to be nice to everyone. If someone doesn't want to be your friend, just remember, it's THEIR loss. One day you will meet mature people that appreciate you for who you are. All the insecurities that you're feeling right now are just part of growing up. I know that's not what you want to hear, but I've been where you are now and can tell you honestly that it does get better. But you have to make yourself happy first and not think about other people.
