Alright so I never cared about how I looked or how other people saw me. I literally didn't give a crap and I could go out looking like garbage and be fine. I never saw a reason to hide my personality and always just showed the true me. There was never a reason to not. Also I don't know if this is everybody but I've always been aware of how much I grew. When I was a little kid I knew I was a little kid and felt like one. In fourth grade I could feel that I was bigger and didn't need help with everything. But I still felt like I was kid. And so on. I don't know if that's normal but I always know. Now I'm in a new school and I don't have any friends. I probably won't for a while because I'm still in online learning. I could feel it when I started wanting to get better clothes and make my outfits nice and stuff. Now I feel like I shouldn't keep stuff on instagram that I think might make me look weird. I always wanna look nice and feel bad about myself when I see myself looking tired or sick, or in pajamas. I started getting rid of things on social media that might make me seem weird. I don't have a problem with the stuff about me for myself but I'm scared other people will. People have always viewed me as very childish. It's difficult for me to click with people my age sometimes when they are a lot more mature than me. I mean I know I feel insecure but I don't wanna admit to myself that I have these insecurities because I never had these kinds of problems. I was always a late bloomer when it came to these things, all my friends have been going through these things for a while. And for them it's even worse. I'm scared I won't make any new friends and I'll be lonely because people will take my craziness and weirdness as twelve year old. I really don't want that. I know I won't stop feeling like this but I want it to be easier. Especially since I've never had to meet knew people for years and years. Does anyone have any tips or advice?

My aunts and uncles 😒

i feel you..i too got into college during the lockdown and only interaction i had with these new people was through whatsapp or insta. i too didnt care about what others think of what i like. i will suggest you to NOT abandon the "weird" things you like. it's what you like and you shouldnt stop liking something because of what others might think. just dont be ONLY what you like. i hope you understand what i mean...what you like is a PART of your personality not your entire personality....you have much more in you than just "things" you like.
as for making new friends, i cn tell from experience you need to be helpful and approachable. no one dislikes a good helpful person. it can be smallest of things...forwarding the link of lectures on class group if someone asks or reminding classmates to mark their attendance or sharing notes or sometimes even asking people for help. you need not connect on a personal level with people now...for now you can be good colleague and slowly you can deepen the bond with specific people. dont be overbearing but put in efforts...every relationship needs efforts..people will go out their way to call you in for events (like unofficial meets) but they hardly know anyone...
so have and attend unofficial meets, chime in the group chats and make fun of teachers or whine how much work you have been given...group chats will a good start...
goodluck hope you enjoy these upcoming years and even get to enjoy these years physically as well🤍🤍🤍
