It's really stressful feeling like no one wants anything to do with you. I went on a cruise ship a few days ago and almost no one my age wanted to interact with me unless it was for, like, one minute. it's so frustrating. i go out to finally talk to people and yet the people dont want to talk to me. Where the fuck do I go from here
It feels so dead without replies...

I think when it comes to other people not talking to you it’s best to assume it’s them and not you; not only for the benefit of your mental health but because it’s probably true. Especially with the cruise ship example, most people tend to be secluded in social areas like that because it’s what they feel most comfortable with. My recommendation would be to explore social spaces where actually talking is actually encouraged, like a club or meeting area, or going to an event like an open mic at a cafe or a local shakespeare performance, something of the sorts. I may not be the best perspective since I have minimal real world experience in this, but there are a lot of people going through this ranging all sorts of ages, you’re not crazy for going through this, you’re not alone. I hope things get better, just do what you can to keep yourself happy and healthy, and don’t give up!

Sometimes you just have to keep trying. It sucks, and it's really hard when you don't have a starting point. i haven't really found a new friend group myself in years now, but all you can do is be kind, do your best to be patient, and don't give up.
"You'll get there eventually" is such an awful answer when you're on your own and you don't know where to go next, but it's the only one our world provides right now. I wish you luck, hopefully it comes sooner rather than later.
